I’ll have you know my sweet mother wore shoulder pads and she was no Romulan you son of a bitch.
What do you mean? I’ve never seen a romulan dressed even a little ostentatiously. Even their military leadership dressed plainly
So plainly that he completely merges into the background. I wish this picture had some extra lensflare to see by.

This isn’t very jj abrams, I can still make out the actor. Crank the lens flare emitters to inverted.
He’s not military! Well as much as a romulan can be. He’s a miner!
Edit: whoosh.
David Byrne is a Romulan?
It was a mistaaaake.
Everyone knows you need big shoulders to win.

Shoulder pads?

And get the same FRESH haircut as EVERYONE else
My head canon is that the Romulans wear the big oversized tunics because they’re stealthily armed to the teeth.
