Don’t give shoulder pads the cold shoulder

BE PREPARED. Purchase some
shoulder pads. The types that
fasten by velcro over the bra straps
are preferable.

Why? Because the European de-
signers have decreed that the nar-
Tow, natural shoulder is ‘‘in’’ for
spring.

Regardless of our preferences
this probably means that it will
become increasingly difficult to
purchase garments with pads.

Many women were not overly
impressed with the ‘‘linebacker
look’’ so fashionable in the early
eighties.

Most of us have enjoyed the

more modified look of recent
years.

We have all benefited by the
improved appearance afforded by
some padding.

* Pads can make shoulders appear
even. Carrying shoulder bags has
caused many women to have one
shoulder higher than the other.

© Broader shoulders make both the
hips and the waist appear nar-
Trower.

* Proper padding can create the
appearance of height.

You may opt for smaller pads
with a more rounded natural
shape, but chances are that some
padding will make you more
satisfied with your appearance.
