Style Post: Shoulder Pads

What do we think about shoulder pads? Too manly? Too '80s? Too awesome?

I found this super chunky knit sweater at Buffalo Exchange too long ago. I thought the shape, texture, and shoulder pads were way interesting and sort of jarring at the same time. I was unsure about the find after I bought it so it took me a while to wear it. I eventually just decided to prep it up with a collared shirt and off I went.

Just one day wearing shoulder pads and we're already good friends. I think we should hang out more often.

Shoulder pads are back, I'm tellin' ya. Did they ever even go anywhere?
