Over the summer, I saw countless iterations of the shoulder pad t-shirt all over fashion websites and social media. The simple addition of shoulder pads into the basic white t-shirt elevated the look, and it could be styled with joggers (for a casual athleisure look) or cinched pants (for a more polished look).

I loved this look so much I thought I would make a video tutorial showing how to add shoulder pads to a basic white t-shirt.  It’s super easy and can be done in less than 30 minutes. All you’ll need is a plain short-sleeved t-shirt and some shoulder pads, which you can get from your local craft store or on Amazon. Check out the video below!

Did you try adding shoulder pads to your t-shirt? Let me know in the comments - I’d love to see your finished projects!
