How to Style a Shoulder Pad Top

Hey, Beauties! Have you been seeing a lot of muscle shirts lately and wondering how to style them? This shirt is perfect for the chic fashionista. The new spin with the shoulder pads adds volume and a cool futuristic vibe. But if you’re a petite slender woman like myself this shirt can take away from your body shape, it can drown you and make you look paper bag. I’m sure that’s not the look you’re going for. You want a clean, polished look. You want to look put together and chic. So, to avoid these mistakes let’s dive into a few things to consider for getting the perfect muscle shirt fit.


Find the Right Shirt

Find a shirt that will make you feel good and confident.

Composition and color are important factors to consider when choosing a muscle shirt to add to your wardrobe. I choose a white shirt because I just love how crisp and clean white looks, and not to mention white goes with anything. The shirt I’m wearing is from ZARA. Although there are several sites like Mango, Shein, and even Amazon that have this shirt, I prefer the one from ZARA. It’s 100% cotton so you can be sure this will be something that will be in your closet for a long time.

Find the Right Accessories

Find a statement necklace, a bag, and some cute sandals.

Gold pieces are great for statement accessories. Gold jewelry is classic, timeless, and very easy to pair with just about anything. I’m wearing a Rose Gold watch and the necklace I’m wearing is from Target.

For shoes, these square toe sandals from Ego are great because the heel isn’t too high and super cute with the knot detailing. The bag is a small satchel from Shein and only $5!

Find the Right Bottoms

Find a pair of shorts to accentuate your figure.

As a petite woman knowing my body type is so important when styling. Because I’m short and have a mix of a slender, athletic, and an hourglass shape, choosing the right clothing and accessories can either make or break a look. This is why I choose paper bag shorts with a belt; this allows for a cinched waist to accentuate my shape. These shorts are from H&M and only $17.99!
