Stupid question to the ladies.

Even in 2005, I still see some older women with jackets & blouse with shoulder pads. Guess they don't care what the newest fashion trend is...they wear what they like.
Whenever someone gives me something that has shoulder pads in them, I take them out...they work pretty good as knee pads if I'm kneeling in a garden or scrubbing a floor.

 

lol i forgot about shoulder pads, now they should have been bannede, i dont know what they are for though, maybe to make peoples shoulders look broader like a mans or to make them so they have a point. or make women look like they have no neck, yay i found it when u get a 'love bite' from a dude and u dont wanna be known as the bike - by shoulder pads then they hide it, lol

 

Yep, I'm about to go shopping for some tops at Value Village - who can afford the prices for new clothes!?!?! Nothing wrong with that, at all. Recycling is good.


And Hahahahahhaha - I've always cut the shoulder pads out of my tops. I can remember my old mom-in-law telling me not to do that, but I always felt like a football player in them.

 

i don't need to have shoulder pads to have broad shoulders. i came with built-ins. now someone like me with shoulder pads on, that's freaking hilarious.

 

I hate them. I don't like football, so I'm not going to dress like I'm going to go play it. I never get tops with sholder pads, and if someone buys me one, I cut out the pads.

 

Pfft~ This is actually too easy of a trivia question. Keep in mind that womens fashions are quite often stupid and will sell anything to the ones willing to be fashion victims. but the main person responsible for that trend is a person named Bob Macke (sp?) He was considered a top glam fashion designer and was designing the wardrobe for a hot new night time soap opera/drama.....
The show... Dynasty....aha! Do you remember Joan Collins and Linda Evans...the hair the shoulder pads had to balance? It was also meant to make them look strong, more forceful ect...a reason they were picked up in more and more womens fashions too...the decade that more and more women were trying to be taken seriously in the work force and started wearing those dipshit "power" suits. The show was on almost that whole decade and spawned a few stupid trends in fashions.

 

who cares where he shops? I envy those who don't have the insane shopping addiction I do.

 

ahahhaha shoulder pads suck

 

shoulder pads are hideous. i never wear those ugly things.

 

i hate them and never wear them--i dress like a guy most of the time

 

The 80's had some hideous fashion trends period.

 

subtle shoulder pads can be okay for kepping shape in a jacket, but those huge ones look totally retarded

 

i sew them together and my son draws faces on them or uses them as a ball.

 

I always cut them out. The worst is when you see them in a t-shirt....I mean they have no business in a t-shirt....

 

That's a pretty interesting peace of history--I have broad shoulders to begin with so I never had to buy garments with them attached---thank god!

 

I've always cut shoulder pads out of any shirts/dresses I have. I hate how they look.

 

i like the occaisional shoulder pad in my suit jacket. it helps the jacket to sit more evenly on me without making me look like a potato. big boobs kinds ruin the flow of a good jacket, you know. but nothing massive, or i look like a linebacker. just something stiff enough to square out the shoulder and keep it there.
