Rihanna’s Love of Shoulder Pads

Shoulder pads. They’re back…Well, according to Rihanna. Who knows if this will go mainstream, but I have a feeling in the next year or so, we will be seeing shoulder pads on the streets and it will be the hot new thing. It’s already hit fashion week, now the celebrities are flaunting strong shoulders and yes, mark my words they will be in mainstream stores by Fall, if not sooner. If you lived through the 80s, you probably thought they would never return, I mean, I wouldn’t say they’re exactly flattering. But 80s fashion is back with a vengeance, even those trends you swore you would never wear again. What’s next? Permed hair and bike shorts?
Now those are some big shoulders! I can’t decide whether I like this or not. In a way it’s cute. It’s definitely updated so in some ways it’s fresh and new.
