I just don’t get it ~ how can a trend this dead (and meant to stay dead) be haunting us? Shoulder pads belong hung up with good old stretch stirrup pants. Unless you’re totally reminiscing 1980s power dressing, or want to resurrect the cast of Dynasty this trend doesn’t belong on your shoulders.
At Fall 2007 shows in London and Paris designers such as Gareth Pugh, Vivienne Westwood and Balenciaga featured shoulder pads throughout their collections, prompting a prediction of shoulder pads return to mainstream fashion. Sigh.

Big shoulder pads are definitely awful, but I love a very light, natural looking shoulder pad. I happen to be an hourglass, but they’re especially great for the pear-shapes and sloped-shouldered women out there. Of course, can we ever expect designers to do something in moderation and not blow it to ridiculous proportions?
