The 1980s Power Suit
Move over, Hillary Clinton. The shoulder-padded power suit of the 1980s was here first! Most of us wouldn’t be caught dead in shoulder pads today, but back in the 80s, it was the ultimate girl boss look. Shoulder pads evolved into an office must-have as more and more women began moving up the corporate ladder.
The corporate world was still largely dominated by men, so many women felt that a strong shoulder-pad silhouette made them look more authoritative and in charge. They weren’t wrong. Huge shoulder pads might not look hip by today’s standards, but they certainly cut a striking silhouette. This look definitely served its purpose for women at the time.
