But it seems that shoulder pads are not only making a comeback - they are actually selling out.

Much more loathsome I think, and ridiculous to boot are mens oversize trousers with the crutch around the knees and fat girls/women displaying their obesity above tight jeans.
Blechhh...
Hmmm...I grabbed that pic directly from the Daily Mail's article, so who knows. Could be photoshopped, I suppose.
