Style bloggers snap up £75 muscle T-shirt from cool-girl label Frankie Shop

It is only the first week of June, but already there is an early fashion hit of the summer. 

Popular Instagram fashionistas from across the world, including France, the Netherlands, the UK, and America, have gone wild for a £75 yellow muscle-t-shirt with shoulder pads from It-Girl favourite Frankie Shop – which has stores in both New York and Paris. 

The tee, which comes in several different colours, has sold out multiple times online, with the trend hitting new heights of popularity last week when French style icon Camille Charriere teamed up with the brand to release a yellow version for charity.

While the brand doesn’t have a UK store, the founder has previously spoken about how the styles are inspired by London’s fashion markets found in places such as Portobello and Shoreditch. 

For every yellow padded shoulder Eva T-shirt sold, 100 per cent of the profits of go to the US Red Cross as a part of the brand’s #LetTheSunChainIn initiative.

Frankie Shop has also committed to donating $1 to the Red Cross for every Instagram post which features the colour yellow alongside the same hashtag. 

The tee taps into the current eighties trend, while also looking effortlessly chic.

With a flowing and relaxed fit which falls past the hips, it’s perfect for warm days and heatwaves. 

Influencers across Instagram have showcased the versatile ways in which to wear the padded shoulder T-shirt, including when paired with white or colourful jeans.

Norwegian blogger Nina Sandbech paired a white version of the T-shirt with black leather trousers, with followers flooding her comments with praise over the look.

One commented: ‘Amazing combo! Love everything.’ 

Meanwhile Ellie from the @Slipintostyle wore hers with an ultra-cool pair of brown leather culottes. 

Danish fashion influencer Jeanette Madsen also sported the tee this week, along with Copenhagen-based Emili Sindlev, Spanish creative María Bernad, Paris-based Estelle Chemouny, and influencer Sonia Lyson, who can often be found in London.  

Meanwhile, popstar Rita Ora has also declared herself a fan of the tee, having recently posted a picture of herself wearing the brand’s white version layered with gold jewellery on Instagram. 

While the trend has been exploding onto social media, the British high street has followed suit and is already stocking alternatives to Frankie Shop’s look, including Mango, H&M and Monki.
