1/13

Puffed shoulder outfits are literally the easiest way for you to stand head and shoulders above the rest. A favourite of the ’80s, this exaggerated and structured shoulder silhouette has seen a revival lately after being spotted on style influencers such as Aimee Song and Jeanne Damas as well as on the Spring/Summer 2019 runways of Marc Jacobs, Ganni and Ulla Johnson.

Since retro is cool again, here are 12 looks you can easily cop. Don’t worry, they are totally wearable.
