I'm not renouncing wildly exaggerated shoulders by any means. If a trend gets the stamp of approval from Michael Jackson, Bianca Jagger and Joan Crawford, I will follow it. Blindly.

But sometimes my shoulders need a break from the tiring business of being so violently padded and sculpted into submission. Sometimes, they would simply like to make an impromptu visit to Del Taco without without drawing unwanted attention.

Surprisingly enough, three dots has found a way to distill this rather in-your-face trend into something really casual. (Definitely not what I would have expected from a line that I associate with sleepwear and comfy yoga-time duds.) Their new sculpted shoulder tops make those lazy T-shirt and jeans days seem a lot more hopeful--which might be why they appear to be selling out like mad.
