Fashion Jobs – ‘80s Flashback: The Bold Shoulder

Style Nine to Five - Fashion Jobsimage1

 

The ‘80s were all about women empowerment. Women began working full time jobs, competing against men, while trending in their power suits all at the same time. Clearly women have always been destined to be #girlbosses. Luckily this ‘80s bold shoulder has come back into play, to be reinvented for the ladies in todays workforce. There’s nothing more sophisticated and kick a** then a constructed strong/bold shoulder blazer.
