RUNWAY: The Dropped Shoulder

Dropped Shoulders

After Church on a Sunday I usually end up roaming my local vintage market, and being a biker jacket freak, I always find myself eyeing up the construction of leather bomber jackets. One of the things that always catches my eye are the dropped shoulders, so it was a pleasant surprise to see designers such as Phillip Lim and Roksanda Ilincic include this style in their collections.

My favourite use of this style was the one by Prada.

I'm constantly trying to make the relaxed, sports look that is so comfortable to me more Ladylike, and with this shoulder style being more associated with sportswear, Prada managed to pull off this look with their choice of fabric (Duchesse Satin?), embellished shoulders, length and styling.

It's funny because it was only a few seasons ago that shoulder pads were THE thing, and don't get me wrong I love them as they work really well with my height and body shape, but I really like dropped shoulders and cannot wait to make a drop shoulder garment.
