If a t-shirt is dominating the fashion world, then it is the shoulder pad shirt from cult label The Frankie Shop. But if you don’t want to pay a dizzying price for a basic shirt, you can do it yourself – in less than 10 seconds.
Shoulder pads ?! If you just had a cold chill when you read the word in the opening credits, you should now be convinced of the opposite. The trend from the 80s never looked as cool and casual as it did in 2021 – at least with this trendy top. Influencers in particular wear the top with the pronounced shoulder parts straight up and down, making a real fashion statement. See for yourself:
That is why the top is the most popular fashion trend in 2021
The current situation calls for a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle – also when it comes to fashion. This is where the trend top comes in handy. It is absolutely cozy and yet it gives every simple look that certain something. And while we’re on the subject: you don’t have to be a fashion expert to combine the top correctly. Since the T-shirt falls into the category of basic items and usually comes in neutral tones, it goes with almost everything. Regardless of whether to Jeans, with high-cut trousers, with a skirt or with shorts – the possible combinations are endless.
And what convinced us the most: You can adapt the trend piece to your style according to your mood. If you are more of a feminine type, you can combine the statement top with a culottes and a blazer, for example. Until you are more of the casual type, you will be a real eye-catcher with high-waisted jeans and a casual hat. Give yourself a try!
So you can make the trend piece yourself
The best comes last! If you want to jump on the trend wave, you don’t necessarily have to buy the top with the pronounced shoulder parts. The whole thing can be conjured up from an old oversize shirt that probably everyone has flying around at home – in less than 10 seconds. The Brazilian influencer Camila Coelho shows how it is done. Simply pull the bra strap out from under the sleeve and pinch a bit of fabric underneath. Then pull up and drape – done.
PS: The whole thing works particularly well with a large basic shirt from the men’s department or your friend’s wardrobe. Who would have thought that men’s shirts could be converted into designer items?
