Shoulders (item type)
Shoulder armor is a new type of armor added in Diablo III that was not present in Diablo 2. Initially called "Pauldrons" these items are worn between the arms and the neck, filling the space between bracers and the body armor.
Blizzard's artists are notorious (largely from World of Warcraft) for creating wildly oversized shoulder pads. The Diablo 3 artists continued that tradition, if not quite to the height of some of the most elaborate of WoW pauldrons. See some example images below.
