Often conjuring connotations of the power suits of the eighties, shoulder pads haven't always had the easiest reputation, but this spring, sharp shoulders are the silhouette that you'll soon be craving. Replacing your best white tees, shoulder-padded tops are one of the easiest ways to update your spring capsule wardrobe, and the great news is that the high street is awash with affordable iterations of this instantly figure-balancing style.
The reason why this look is so flattering is that it adds a defined shape across the shoulder, creating the illusion of a better posture and therefore height, streamlining your silhouette. It can also help to with proportions too, particularly if you're a pear shape, as defined shoulders will create the illusion of an hourglass shape, helping to balance wider hips and nip in your waist.
