[~ BunnyliciouS ~]

v-neck tops
wife-beaters

stay away from crew-neck and halter tops

[sundubu <3]

i agree with v-tops... i was a competitive swimmer for 9 years so broad shoulders were a big problem for me before. mine aren't so wide now that i've stopped but i've learned that v-necks somehow make everything look better while scoop/U necks make everything wider. i disagree with halter tops though... i've never had a problem wearing them.... i think then tend to draw the eye upwards and makes the shoulders look smaller. it's the wide tank top straps you gotta watch out for. from my own experience, those tend to rest further away on your shoulders than on regular shoulders and it just makes them look even wider.

if it makes you feel any better about your broad shoulders, almost all runway models have semi broad shoulders in order to pull off all the unusual clothes they have to wear... their shoulders give an absolute horizontal line. i used to feel horrible when i had them until a friend just said that one day.. and even though i'm no supermodel, it did make me feel better about them afterwards.

edit: and DEFINITELY NO SLOUCHING! doesn't look good even on girls with normal shoulders. broad-shouldered people just look even worse when they slouch, thinking that it hides them. that is a big misconception because when you slouch, the shoulders fall foward even more, making you look even more top-heavy. plus it makes you look like a tom-boy. you should always pull your shoulders back.

yerhh .. someone told me models do have broad shoulders !

If anything, that just totally made me day ....Sooo thanks!!

Cuz Yeah, I have pretty broad shoulders too and always have a harder time (than those girls who dont have broad shoulders) when looking for the *right* kind of top...grrrrr.

haha
i have sort of broad shoulders from swimming butterfly T____T;;
stupid mommy and swim lessons lol.

i usually wear clothes that will cover my shoulders.

V-necks and boat-necks are flattering. Stay away from halter tops.

right-o! Spaghetti straps aren't bad either...

[hunny]

Hmm, i always wear halter and i actually find it nice! :/ Anyway, broad is okay, if it's broad and flabby, tone it up!

[jolie pomme]

I have broad shoulders too, my mom says it gives me a "model look" but I absolutely hate them, plus I'm short so it just looks strange lol. I wear v-necks and shirts with wide necklines that seems to make them smaller.

I have broad shoulders. I think it makes me look taller since people always think I'm taller than I really am. I'm only 5'5 but people will tell me I'm tall and when I tell them my actual height they look surprised. The only time I hate my broad shoulders is when I'm layering in winter--it gets too big and bulky. Also I can't fit into tops from Korea since I have broad shoulders and big boobs.

Otherwise I like them since it makes me look healthy and athletic when I'm wearing tank tops. v neck and unstructured tops are good to wear.

i think i have broad shoulders for someone my size >< it does kinda give the impression of having curves (i have a small waist) but in the wrong places hahahahahahah

but yes yay for wife beaters
but whats a boat neck? o.0

[보석미남]

ehehe i am 5'9 and have EXTREMELY broad shoulders.
& I'm not just exaggerating. My shoulders are probably 1/2 longer than an average chic's.
i used to HATE them like crazy but I was a sad, sad kid
i love them now that i'm skinnier and my shoulder blades/arms more defined.

and i love wife beaters <3

[despondent]

Long sleeves. Well I don't know.

[Nightmare]

I have huge football player shoulders. What makes it worst is that I also have a small head and short neck.

For me, not all v-necks help hide the big shoulders. Those with really wide v-necks cuts are bad for me. I find that deeper and skinner v-neck cut helps. Cap and puffy sleeves are my enemies, but depending how the neck cut is or how I layer it, it might actually look flattering. 3/4 and longer sleeve helps tone down my shoulder.

You can also layer different type of pieces to hid your flaw; no matter what kind of neck cut it is.

[wins]

Oh. I also have nig shoulders. COmpared to the average girl >___< and its sad cause they get to wear all these lace and fancu stuff and halters. but yeah. that's life.

hehe. I usually just wear a t-shirt. v necks

[mr.viviano]

guilty of man shoulders from swimming x---x

to hide my shoulders, if i have to wear a T, i get medium, even though i can fit small, so the T's look like they can fit me normally and hid my triangle look x--x
agreed with vnecks, because i remember my dad making me read this fashion article he saw in the costco catalgoue or readers digest or soemthing XD that said if your shoulders are broad wear vnecks so you can give the appearnce of a long graceful neck!
hide your shoulders, but accentuate your neck area so it gives you a long look! hope that helps

[nadhura]

Omg i have broad shoulders, seriously its not even from any kind of workout or swimming, i naturally have broad shoulders...coz many times people thought i have like muscles and some even thought i am a swimmer, but i swim like very seldomly and i still have this kinda curve...it's kinda frustrating especially when i wanna wear like a usually like baby tees and they are usually kinda small around the shoulders..so i usually rest on guys muscle tee instead...so yeah i've very manly i guess..haha.

[A Beautiful Struggle]
