The Padded Muscle Tee Is The Wardrobe Staple You Need For Fall
As I trade in my sweatsuits for something more chic this autumn, I’m not completely willing to give up the element of comfort I’ve embraced over the past few months. I can’t go straight from a cozy hoodie to a stiff blouse, no matter how stylish it may be! Fortunately, fall 2020’s padded shoulder muscle tee trend is equal parts laid-back and fashion-forward. The plain white tee got the upgrade we (honestly) never saw coming: shoulder pads.
If the thought of shoulder pads terrifies you, fear not. This look is far from ’80s-inspired. Instead, the padded muscle tee is moreso inspired by this year’s suiting trend, which is all about boxier, masc-inspired shapes dressed down. The padded shoulders of these tees aren’t super stuff or intense; rather, they simply give your basic top a little more structure, creating a strong silhouette that pairs perfectly with everything from your most shredded denim to smart trousers and heels.
If you’ve been wondering if all your fave influencers were going to the same doc for shoulder implants (LOL, why does this not seem totally out of the question? 2020, man), it’s far more likely that they’ve all been leaning into the padded shoulder muscle tee trend. You can always justify buying one more basic tee, so why not give one with shoulder pads a go? Whether black, white or a trending color is more your vibe, read on to shop some of the best padded muscle tees to style right now.
