Broad Shoulders

[casper]

Hey there,

I'm just going to rant for a second here... It's just really starting to get me at the amount I get of 'wow you've got really big shoulders!!' Yeah I get it, I used to be a swimmer in high school, and to be honest, I've always liked my shoulders, they're defined (not full on swimmer muscly.. just toned), and I never really saw it super obvious it on my 5'5" frame. But the number of people, mostly my family friends (Asian, petite), who have to say is starting to get annoying. Hmm, I've probably bored you all.... sorry but I just needed to get that off my chest!!!! so thanks for listening (reading)

Just don't wear halternecks and all will be fine...

I have a pretty broad build, and it is sometimes annoying when you're trying on a jacket and the shoulders are too narrow...

I have the same problem.

Yeah, avouid halternecks !!!!

I don't know if I got really broad shoulders, but I think it looks good, especially on more petite girls, as it makes one look less frail. I myself have never avoided halternecks, but each to their own I guess.

 

[yahoooooo]

Thank them and then congratulate them on their wide, child-bearing hips.

i reckon you should wear halternecks to accetuate them. i myself have pretty broad shoulders. I wear halternecks but with my hair let down (not up) so it's balances out.

Yes. I love DH but they cut much too narrow in the shoulders, same w/ Theory. I always feel as if Im about to bust free from anything from DH. YSL and Burberry Prorsum cut for my shape though, and Im so addicted.

I think broad shoulders are fram that when you dress it right it can look stunning.

Actually it's quite strange. Logically, broad shouldered people should avoid halternecks. However, people ALWAYS compliment me when I wear halternecks even though my shoulders are quite broad.

But I avoid boatnecks and wide shoulder necklines like the plague...

I have broad shoulders as a result from swimming and I think my dad. On top of having broad shoulders I have these bones that stick out which make my shoulders look weird. I've always been self-concious of them. I feel like I can't wear so many things because clothing is constructed for people with "normal" width shoulders. I'm thin and only 5'4". To the person who says that it looks better on small frames I agree to an extent even though I'm thin, I think I look healthy, but it gets so annoying when people comment on them.

 

[misssakura]

People compliment your shoulders? Different body parts do it for different people I guess XD

i agree... halternecks work for me, but boatnecks look horrible...
i always have trouble finding the right jacket, usually everything what fits my shoulders is too big on chest&waist...
