i understand how you all feel, i have them too..and being an Asian with broad shoulders is even worse haha. Growing up, my relatives always said i was pretty and had big eyes..then as i got older my shoulders got broader, because of genetics or helping on the farm im not sure which caused them or maybe both even, but well i have them now so i cant change anything. So yeah now i usually get two comments from asians. one is that im pretty, second is woah i have really big shoulders, and it hurts a little considering that most asians are tiny small skinny little things, so i felt like a big odd standout. But if you hate your broad shoulders it doesnt do much, noone can be perfect and i realise that my good points far outweigh the bad no matter how annoying my shoulders are. Im lucky because im decent looking and considered quite tall for an asian, and i have a proportionate figure so i look normal even with broad shoulders.
after a while we all know what looks good on us and what doesnt. plus, i think its really important to try to look after your weight because skinny girls with broad shoulders look model-ish. whereas broad shouldered girls that are a little plump will look a little big or at least in the mirror itll make you feel much bigger than u really are anyways, so try to lose weight! I AM!
oh and by the ways, i recently discovered that Japanese guys arent concerned with shoulders at all. Its usually just chinese, korean, malaysian, indonesian kinda..but mostly chinese!! If you watch Japanese dramas/movies you'll see that quite a few gorgeous actresses have really broad shoulders, but theyre really pretty too though hahaaha..
Like the girl from Koizora, and the girl from Hotaru No Hikari/ Cyborg She.
Hmm suggestions of wat to wear...from my own experience, hoodies and hoodie jackets are good. the hood itself makes the line of the shoulders shorter, plus its even better if u wear a zipped jacket unzipped with a sexy v-neck top inside. So then the V-neck takes away the straight line even more. Also with hoodies, the good thing is that with some of them, the stitching is hmm..somewhat curved? so it doesnt emphasise the broad shape of shoulders like some tshirts do.
Also, dressing simple is the best. when you put too much stuff on to look cool or something youll end up looking bigger than u think. Oh and wearing skirts that flare out a little balance your shoulders with your hips more so that it looks more even. Hmm high heels...i alway feel like i look weird with high heels or maybe its because im not a heels person haha
Like what someone else said, try not to slouch....like i do..i need to fix tht habit, i always had a really heavy schoolbag so im totally comfortable and used to slouching...n get angry when im told to sit straight too hahaa, but if im in a professional environment, strangely i am always standing straight. its like a switch...when i know i have to look my best i stand straight n confident, smile etc...and most importantly i think i do it because its good manners. but yeah if im with friends ...yeah haha...
I always thought that if i left my hair down it would cover my shoulders pretty much, but it doesnt work out that way sadly...there is a place where your hair sits, but it kinda emphasises the broadness a little..cuz the shoulders stick out a little too much since ur hair sits near the neck area. So yep hoodies are the best,
for any top, dont button all the way to the top, leave one or a few undone. same with zips..but if you are going for that neat look with the buttons/zips done all the way to the top, then you have to go long to even out the shoulders. meaning..instead of a top, it has to be like a dress length top, n then under it u could possible wear stockings or leggings which makes it look nicer than wearing pants underneath..
OH i just thought of another thing!! shoes!! socks!! ok with shoes, you cant wear chunky shoes, well you can but it makes your legs look shorter which inturn makes you look bigger overall unless ur skinny...then it gives u a kinda cool sporty hip-hop dancy edge. So with shoes, go with skinny shoes. wear tights/stockings..sandals, thongs, those type..and with socks its the same too...you cant wear long socks like japanese schoolgirls unless ur skinny, cuz it makes you look silly fat. the shorter the better..
well either way, no matter how much you plan your outfit, it only does so much. but with people, there are some that dont see your shoulders and some that totally take notice. by worrying about these peoples opinions is your own problem. people say if you cant come to love yourself first, how will others come to love you? but then they also say, such and such completes you. so since noone is perfect enough to love themselves fully, unless theyre very confident people unlike me, so we just have to remember our good points and then realise that in the end it doesnt actually matter all that much. Its just that time and time again because of others, because of the media, we want to look perfect. After a while you learn all the tricks of the trade with clothes, make up, etc and you reach a pinnacle of being more beautiful than uve ever been with all that stuff...then later it wont matter at all anymore. we are all just waiting for our love to come and we want to look our best. go ahead and make yourself up, but dont go over the top n look slutty...dont be too plain..put a little glittery eyeshadow on or a pretty hairclip....but most importantly, dont forget who you are. you can cover imperfections with makeup to some extent, but you cant with your personality..what is perfection? imperfection is the new perfection i say!
what i mean by that is...being perfect is boring..being a little weird in some ways is cute...being a little lazy is funny...but too lazy is just scary...but still funny...laughing out loud like a maniac is what i do..n im mega weirdo as well....n i want to travel to meet the rest of the world!! ..how sad, weirdo coming near you.
