There's something so badass about styling a muscle T-shirt with denim. While some in the past have assumed that muscle tees are reserved for rock stars and bikers, we're here to tell you that this retro staple has gotten a fashion-forward makeover that's effortless. One NYC-based brand that has brought muscle tees back to the forefront is Frankie Shop. Its Eva T-shirt has garnered a cult-like following; at the moment, I can't open Instagram without seeing someone wearing the favourite shoulder-padded muscle tee. The brand even expanded its colour range and now has a limited edition yellow style with Camille Charriere that's so bright, it will instantly cheer you up.

Whether you're a minimalist or a maximalist, there are plenty of ways this outfit combo can work for you. You can go for a full white-out look with white jeans and a matching muscle tee or style a yellow version with tie-dye jeans for a pop of colour. Keep reading to see how some of our style stars have outfitted theirs ahead.
