Shoulder Pads Are Back—But Will They Stick This Time?

This look is making a comeback, but should it?

Huge ’80s style SHOULDER PADS are fashionable again.  “Financial Times” just did a big story, and “Vogue” recently covered the trend too.

It was a popular look for women in the 1980s who wanted to seem hip and metropolitan.  But then people quickly decided shoulder pads were dumb, and they went away.

They were all over fashion runways last fall.  So now suits, blazers, and blouses with big shoulder pads are showing up in stores.

The question is will they have more staying power this time?  Or will they just be a passing fad again?

Even in the ’80s, a lot of women didn’t like the look and just ripped those shoulder pads right out.  If you really want to be cool, pair them with some grandpa sneakers.
