You can't have failed to notice this season's key silhouette: the structured, bold shoulder. The look began on the Paris catwalks, was mastered by the high street, and is now ubiquitous on celebs, style insiders and fashion fans everywhere.

This trend is more about a sharp architectural shape than a wide 1980s-inspired shoulder, although the look definitely has its roots in this decade and shoulder pads have made a stylish comeback in jackets and knitwear. Take style cues from these girls we snapped working bold shoulders with chic ruffles, short skirts, biker looks and lace.
