Brace yourselves, ladies–shoulder pads are back! Regardless of whether or not you embrace the concept of reincarnation spiritually, there is no doubt that certain looks get reincarnated over and over again in fashion. And since it always seems to happen every twenty years or so, we should have expected all those Dynasty and Dallas inspired looks from the Spring runways.

If you were never a huge fan of this shoulder pad scene, then today’s VPOD is for you. This Yves Saint Laurent linen blazer from the 1980s offers just enough attention to the shoulders to look chic for Spring without giving you an overdone linebacker look.

It’s a relevant but wearable find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Yoox.
