The ’80s Called—And They Want Their Shoulder Pads Back!

Published April 4, 2025

Love it or hate it, 80s-style shoulder pads are making a major comeback. According to both Financial Times and Vogue, oversized, power-shoulder silhouettes are back on the runways and creeping into mainstream fashion once again.

For those who remember, shoulder pads were all the rage in the 1980s, giving women a bold, structured look that was meant to scream confidence and power. But as quickly as they rose to prominence, they fell out of favour—many women even ripped them out of their blazers on sight.

Now, they’re popping up in suits, blouses, and coats, making us wonder—will they stick around this time? Or will they be another short-lived nostalgia trip?
