Question: were the clothes so horrible because everyone in fashion industry were coked out that decade?

I still sew those pads from my bra into the shoulders of all my clothes including tank tops and what not. Men adore this, it appears as if you waste was smaller with larger shoulders everyone knows this.

Linebacker. lol

oh gosh i remember shoulder pads....i cant believe i went out looking like that, thank God i was young and hopefully no one paid attention

Lmao.... that could be true! What about lime green pants with a hot pink shirt on guys?

When everybody got out of the 70's they were still high and thought it was cool to dress like that.

I love looking at Matlock to see just how horrible the fashions were. I hated shoulder pads!

Yeah I do not care for them either. They make the women look like football players, to say the least. Robotic

giant shoulder pads are sexy, have you seen designing women?

They would have to be to think skinny ties and dayglow clothes were fashionable......Cute kitty by the way

someone with *really* bad taste. And we all followed him/her!!!!
*shudders*

"Flaming" new designers of the time...out to make women look foolish...and to recruit

Good question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right on. Women were looking for a man not like one.

Unfortunately, I did in fact rock said shoulder pads. (shameful) And, I wore legwarmers with *horizontal* pink and black stripes.

that is when women really starting emerging as independent without having to follow and guys opinions and the shoulder pads were a precautionary device put in place in case of unexpected man/woman throw-downs and street battles

YOU CAN THANK JOAN COLLINS FOR MAKING IT A FASHION ICON. GAG ME WITH A SPOON!!!!

Yes, with the shoulder pads you had the perfect place to lay out ur lines, just turn your head to the side and PRESTO!

Looks kind of manish but no everyone wasn't "coked out" they just wanted a different style so they made their own. I wonder what we'll be saying about the 2000's style.

Not just shoulder pads in ONE thing, but the shirt, the vest, AND the jacket.
I was broad shouldered even as a teenager.

That was not a good look for me. I looked like a linebacker with hips and titties.

Who looked horrible, we looked Hot!!! And you are all wearing it again, minus the pads! Legging, Ankle Booties and all! Grace Jones!, Boy George!

Aw! I was a huge addict. I never went to the extremes but I loved the way they looked. I used to keep a drawer full of detachable ones - a whole drawer dedicated to shoulder pads. I kid you not.

They're all gone today and I immediately remove them if they're in anything I buy. But I still secretly admire the way they look.

As for the fashion industry? *raspberry* Beauty for beauty's sake is what it's all about for them. Never mind making clothes that fit, look good and are comfy.

I mean, everyone knows not to wear horizontal stripes and yet they are EVERYWHERE!

my ex loved them...when she wore something else..she could use tham to stuff her bra..i would use them to pad my shorts...

20-30 years from now you will look at this generation the same way. Fashion is trendy and that's what the trend was back then. It looked good back then, it was in. Of course since it's not the norm today it looks weird and outdated.

Lol the upside down triangle look awesome...I've hidden those pictures, they shall never see the light of day again!

Finally someone that understands what was going on!

Just wait, shoulder implants will be the next rage.

It's very simple actually--the wider your shoulders look, the smaller your waistline seems. Someone(s) got a little overzealous is all.

Idiots......

I used my shoulder pads to stash my rocks

That's right blame the drugs....Totally ignore the fact that outrageously large shoulders make hugeasses look normal.

It had to be a man.

I only wear my shoulder pads when I'm playing football..they do help cushion all those humongous guys who keep chasing and tackling me (hell i don't even have the ball!) but yeah I am still coked out and I wish someone could break this addiction to Diet Coke cuz i read from my email that it dissolves like a nail when it's left in it so i just know my insides must look like someone threw acid in my belly and besides that those lil pads make me a nice C cup so yes everyone loves them and datz all i gotz to say bout dat!

amen, let's eat
