It’s the 80’s, Ladies

By Carlina Harris

Everyone who knows, knows its hot! So why is no one rocking this bold shoulder power look? That’s right the bold shoulder is back, in a big way–literally. The bigger the better. I die for this look, its a little devil may care, a whole lotta fabulous, and, gasp— a little bit ridiculous*.

Shoulder pads have reemerged from dancing queens’ closets, and have been everywhere globally for the last few months, think: fashion elite, chic Francophile, urban downtown gal, and now you.

1. ASOS BLACK Sequin Shoulder Pad Dress, $109.42
2. ASOS Metallic Shoulder Pad Top, $51.06
3. Kiera U Neck T-Shirt with Shoulder Pads, $137
4. T-Bags Diamond Mini Dress, $225

This newer version of the 80’s cult classic, is slimmer than its predecessor. The silhouette is more forgiving than Tony Romo’s top half on the field. This look screams, “I’m sexy and totally in control of the situation”–whatever that may be!

Whether your into dropping loads of cash for a fleeting trend or not, try DIY-ing it. That way you can try out the look for a few bucks, before you invest in a big statement piece. It’s a simple project, just get some shoulder pads, needle, thread, and your soon to be new favorite top.

XOXO, your ever faithful, shoulder pad loving, Fashion and Accessories Editor!

****User Warning: shoulder pads must be worn with the utmost confidence. Or death by utter embarrassment may be possible.
