28 Fantastic Padded Fashions

From Padded Crotch Jeans to Puffy Lampshade Shirts

— October 17, 2009 — Fashion
If you thought shoulders were the only padded body part, think again. The world as we know it has become obsessed with enhancements—even temporary ones. Introducing the illusion of ‘more,’ Trend Hunter has seen padded underwear and, most recently, padded zippers for men. But pads are not just for the self-conscious, they’re also for those looking to make a statement. That being said, in this cluster you’ll find some augmenting padwear, but you’ll also find other fantastic padded fashions.
