STRONG SHOULDERS
Shoulders are the body part of the season (with hot legs being a close second). Exaggerated shoulders on blazers are everywhere-from Batman-inspired shoulder pads at Balmain to sleeker versions at Elizabeth & James-and an abundance of one-shoulder dresses emphasize a strangely retro kind of sexuality (an alluring glimpse of one fleshy arm and shoulder on an otherwise fully covered to the knee outfit). Both are, ultimately, high-fashion touches on what doesn't need to be an expensive item-one under $100 sharp blazer from Zara and you look straight off the Balmain runway.
