Shoulder Pads (fashion) - 2000s and 2010s

2000s and 2010s

In the late 2000s (decade), a resurgence of shoulder pads appeared on many runways, fashion designer collections and a revival of 1980s trends became mainstream among many people who were interested in them. By the 2009-2010 seasons, shoulder pads had made their way back into the mainstream market. In 2010 many retailers like Wal-Mart had shoulder pads on at least half of all women's tops and blouses.

The early 2010s have also seen the resurgence of shoulder pads. Many young women had imitated artists such as Lady Gaga and Rihanna, who are known for their 1980s style jackets with shoulder pads, and the new wave styles of the 1980s have continued resurgence in mainstream fashion in the 2010s.
