Wow. One horrendous trend of the 80’s I never thought I’d see again: SHOULDER PADS. I must say, someone tall and statuesque like Cate Blanchett or Nicole Kidman could easily pull just about anything off, but shoulder pads? Seriously.

According to style.com and Nina Garcia, we will be seeing “a less dramatic” version of the runway hit coming our way. Thank God I haven’t seen city hipsters sporting this look yet.

I can safely say that I will probably NEVER wear them, even when I am old and my posture gets hunchbackish.

I believe the Oompa Loompas already had their moment of glory.

Anyone under 5′3 should be banned from wearing them. Don’t make me bust out some pictures of me modeling them. Please.

On the plus side, it hasn’t been an overdone trend in Fall/Winter 2007. But let’s retire them anyway…FOREVER. Better late than never, right?
