Shoulder pads. Something that was invented to empower women i.e. take away their sexuality and replace it with masculinity. Circa 1990s. And mission accomplished. After seeing them in about a million shows now I've started to think of them as fashionable but still not in any means sexy. Especially Balmain has some seriously high-fashion style shoulder extensions (I wouldn't call them pads anymore). Even the Chanel classic suit jacket has outgrown some paddings and Givenchy's rough minidress has a surprising one shoulder (the other one being bare) pointing up to the skies. These are just the tip of the iceberg. I can't recall many show without any padding. The shoulders can be just a little padded or highly exaggerated, sharp or puffy, long or short sleeved. You choose what you'll go for as long as you'll go for it on the shoulder.
I was planning to pull this look off with a couple of great pieces from asos.com. Easy and simple to wear. With small shoulder pads, I like the sharp ones because (hopefully) no one will think I've got that weird shoulders for real or then the princess puffy ones for a bit more romantic feel. And when wearing big shoulders, down scale your bottom a bit. Or at least cinch in your waist. You need to maintain some kind of figure and balance. And I recommend high heels, gives some longevity to your body that it desperately needs when it's broadened.
So ladies, enjoy your masculine power now since it is my strong belief that women will want to feel the power of (tasteful!!!) sexy soon again. Even though, in some way, feminine sexy is always on the menu.
