Shoulder Pad Bra: the New Trend in Bras

One of the newest trends to hit women's lingerie is the new shoulder pad bra. Many are familiar with traditional shoulder pads that played a huge role in '80s fashion , however, this is a new way to incorporate this old look by combining it with your bra. Here is a look at why these are becoming so popular and how they can make the most out of a wardrobe as well as your figure.

There are a couple of different types of shoulder pad bras on the market for shoppers to choose from. Newport News features one that has gotten great reviews and having tried it myself I have to recommend it to others. It is by their Shape fx line and features traditional hook and bar closure in the back as well as padded under-wire cups. It also comes with standard straps to interchange with the shoulder pads. The bra and pads are black and are gently rounded giving a very feminine curve to those with flatter shoulders while give extra boost and support to the bust. I highly recommend this one especially with the price being under $30! It fits comfortably and looks great under any outfit you have. You can find this one online or in their Newport News catalog.

For those who are on a budget there are removable pads you can easily attach to your bra. These are typically made out of foam and covered with fabric. They work by you tucking them under your bra strap to hold into place. While they do the trick, if your bra is not fitted tight enough they can slip and fall out of place making them more of a hassle than a great accessory. They are less expensive however, generally under $10.

There are many benefits of adding one of these to your wardrobe. The main one being they really bring out the best in your figure by not only giving you the support you need in your bust area but also defining your shoulder area. These are perfect for wearing under dresses or formal tops as they give you added sophistication. The best part is they are also very comfortable. Many women, particularly those who have a larger bust have a common complaint of the straps digging into their shoulders. With the shoulder pads they do not have to worry about this and can move easily throughout the day.
