Identified as the symbol of a decade, shoulder pads are much more than a bulky and striking ornament of the eighties associated with certain famous villains.The shoulder pads are, above these characteristics, the image of the Power Dressing, of the powerful woman.

Mulates abound more and more.From the autumn-winter 2018 we have seen them in the big catwalks as a amplifier of the powerful shoulders, a fashion that may seem outdated, but that could actually be an omen of changes.And it is that its popularity has aligned with important moments in the history of women, and their return, we would like to believe, it is not a mere accident.

Today we find a variety of styles in blouses with shoulder pads and blazers with designs and silhouettes that bet on the amplitude of the shoulders to the sides, in volume XL or the pointed elevations, which we create some Disney villains as malefic or theCruella themselves would use.We tell you a little more about shoulder pads and how we will take it in 2021.

Walkers as an omen in the history of women

While they were invented as a protective layer for American football players at the end of the 19th century, the shoulder pads made their way to women's fashion from the thirties.The person in charge of this was the unmatched Elsa Schiaparelli, who involved in the surreal artistic movement, was known to experiment in the shape of the women's silhouettes.Schiaparelli and Joan Crawford (at the same time) by the hand of their costume designer, Adrian Adolph Greenburg, used to wear shoulder pads in their structured jackets and other garments, when the chic style of war dominated fashion with gender roles with the gender rolesChanging.

With women taking positions in new professions, they needed a new appearance to adapt to industries dominated by men.During this time, the furtive fashion of the thirties gave way to much more utilitarian styles and inspired by the army, providing an opportunity for shoulder pads to become a basic element of fashion.Two decades later, the appearance of wide shoulders returned, turning the shoulder pads into a defining feature of fashion in the eighties.From political figures, such as Margaret Thatcher, to Hollywood celebrities, they all wore the look.Like the women in the late thirties, the costumes with shoulder pads used by the Prime Minister offered him a way of visually assimilating with the men with whom he worked.Thus, more women followed their example when they began to climb in the corporate world and needed a way to adapt and assert their power simultaneously.

However, by becoming a fashion piece of that period, it does not detract from its approach to a glamorous fashion.Since the great icons that wore this ornament represented a powerful woman, such as Madonna or Grace Jones, or the same Joan Collins in Dynasty, who represented that villain who always looked impeccable with beautiful dresses, enhanced with great shoulder pads and details of flyers.Garments that we do not stop seeing in female characters protagonist as evil, where sharp shoulder pads and pointed necks abound;or Cruella, with a variety of attire, such as that of the Maxi Chareteras in the most military look of her or the final brooch of the film with that coat of tweed layer with marked shoulder pads.Looks that exudate power and avant -garde.

As we know, in the thirties, designers like Elsa Schiaparelli began to add bubble shoulder pads and sleeves as a way of making women feel safe and powerful.Which, in the current world scene, this ornament is as important as it was then.

With that, it makes a lot of sense that Matthew Williams shows strong shoulders for his debut in Givenchy for spring-summer 2021 and has done it again for autumn-winter.For the spring time, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Isabel Marant and Balenciaga also presented large and comfortable shoulders in their collections;and Burberry, Louis Vuitton and Gucci, among other firms, bet on large and bulky shoulders for autumn-winter 2021/2022.

The trick that you should not forget when wearing shoulder pads is always to consider how the final silhouette will see.The interesting thing with them is to create the silhouette of the inverted triangle, making sure to balance the large style with more tight parts such as jeans, leggings or a tight skirt underneath.

La propuesta de H&M con esta camisa de rayas con hombreras es combinarla con unos shorts anchos en el mismo estampado, para crear el conjunto, pero no deberás limitar esta prenda en su uso, cuando podrás llevarla con jeans rectos de tiro alto para fajarla por dentro y con skinny para lucirla como un crop top.

If you do not usually risk with garments as striking as those deployed here, which will take all the attention to your shoulders (hence the girls that their body by nature is already an inverted triangle, it would be better to refrain), without a doubt the style to be tested beginsWith pieces of more neutral tones, such as black, or classic patterns, such as pictures or stripes.
