If you’re an A shape with narrow shoulders or even an 8 shape or X shape or just have more sloping shoulders rather than square shoulders, how can you make them appear broader to create more balance?
Necklines – horizontal necklines like boat necks, square necks or wider v-necks can help to broaden.
Shoulder detail – bling or other shoulder detail can work well.
Construction – look for horizontal yokes or even breast pockets (if you have a small bust).
Sleeves – either puffed sleeve or ruched sleeves will add broadening detail. Set-in sleeves are also much more flattering.
Avoid:
Raglan sleeves
Halternecks
Dolman sleeves
Dropped shoulders
Of course, if you are a V shape or have very square shoulders you will find this Avoid list is your “what to wear”!
