They’re Back…In a Major Way

No not the Designing Women, not that I wouldn't mind seeing a modern take on the 80s tv series, but I am talking about SHOULDER PADS! Shoulder pads from the 80s were bulky and did nothing for a woman's figure except for draw attention away from one's natural curves. This time around designers got the mechanism of this once God-awful trend right and I am loving it. Lately two of my favorite fashion forward ladies, Beyonce and Victoria Beckham, have been seen sporting jackets with padded and extended shoulders. This look is now acceptable due to the emphasis of the waistline. Without the proper tailoring around the waist, this would be the 80s all over again. The volume that is add at the shoulders along with a proper fitting waistline helps to create the ideal hourglass figure.

Now that you are aware of the wonders of the new and improved shoulder pad trend, I am hoping that more women will take a chance and incorporate the look into their own wardrobe.
