’80s Revival: Are shoulder pads back?
The ’80s are back.
Tom Ford’s entire ready-to-wear collection was a tribute to the decade, complete with neon animal print, plunging necklines, and of course…shoulder pads.
Odes to the ’80s were spotted on other New York Fashion Week runways as well. Case in point: the boxy blazers at Zadig & Voltaire ready-to-wear show.

Do you dare to embrace the trend?
’80s fashion inspiration is more than just head-to-toe neon spandex. These runway looks have us wanting to mix a little more fun into our fashion rotation.
We’ve picked four essential ’80s trends – shoulder pads, animal print, metallics, and neon – and found ways you can actually wear them.
The key to keeping it fresh is combining an ’80s trend with a modern element: try a sleek lime green mule, a red leopard print bucket bag, or a shiny silver bomber jacket.
We’ve rounded up our favourite ’80s inspired pieces here:
