Shoulder pads: the fact, the fiction

The trickiest reader question I've received to date: "I have super-sloping shoulders. I truly look like those football players—the no-neck guys—so I wear this pair of foamy, thick shoulder pads inside almost everything. Most of the time no one can tell, because all they do is square off my shoulders to look normal.' But one of my friends and my sister think I'm nuts. Is it really better to look completely sloped than to look square-shouldered?" Hey, I know that the mere mention of shoulder pads has some negative connotations, but if your shoulder pads make you feel confident, go for it. After all, most women are more than happy to embrace shapewear—are shoulder pads really that different? But make sure you're not wearing oversize, overstuffed relics from 1987—make em smaller, with a more natural shape. And tell your friend and sister to back off until they're ready to give up control-top tights! —Ashley Trump: Ron Galella/WireImage.com
