'80s Shoulder Pads are the Trend of the Season
Shoulder pads, the polarizing '80s trend, are back.
The 1980s are known as the decade of exaggeration, opulence, and brilliance. After months of wearing pieces that prioritize comfort, there is nothing like a little display of stylized fashion to refresh your wardrobe.
A trend that was strong decades ago makes its triumphant return this season: the shoulder pads. They can be used in various pieces of clothing, from blazers to dresses, adding more style to your look.
Hailey Bieber, Megan Fox, and Ciara have already bet on this trend that will mark the season. But it's not just celebrities who are investing in shoulder pads; they were recently seen in the Fall/Winter 2021 collections of Burberry and Gucci.
To sport shoulder pads with style and elegance, it is important to consider how the final silhouette will look. The interesting thing here is to create the inverted triangle silhouette, making sure to balance the oversized style with more fitted pieces like leggings or a fitted skirt underneath.
If you are still hesitant to try the look, start with more neutral-toned pieces or classic patterns, such as plaid or stripes. Here we select some looks to inspire your next fit:
