What clothes women with broad shoulders should avoid and how to hide them

Each figure is unique and inimitable. However, all fashionistas strive to emphasize the advantages and features of their bodies.

Broad shoulders have been in trend for more than one season. But what about those who have them by nature? If you have a broad shoulder line but don't like to focus on it, there are some tips on how to achieve balance in your look. In particular, experts from the Ukrainian brand VOVK shared their recommendations.

What to avoid

Oversized and sharp shoulders

In order to balance your outfit, it is better to give up oversized eco-leather jackets and blouses with puffed sleeves. You can also add clothes with shoulder pads that create a massive look to this list.

Intense decor

Decorative elements on clothes can visually make the shoulder line wider. We are talking about wide ruffles on blouses, jackets and dresses with so-called shoulder straps.

Prints

A taboo among prints is a horizontal stripe on long sleeves, tops, and dresses.

How to balance the look

Jackets and shirts

You should choose a top made of thick fabric. These can be sweaters with a smooth texture, classic shirts without pockets, and fitted jackets.

The right neckline

V- and U-necks visually narrow the shoulders. Be careful with deep necklines as they can have the opposite effect.

Sleeve cut

When choosing, pay attention to styles with dropped, bell-shaped, or kimono-style sleeves. These elements soften the shoulder line.

Voluminous bottom

To balance the top, try styling the voluminous bottom. Here, fashionable palazzo pants or pants with flares will come in handy. As for jeans, take a closer look at mom or banana jeans. As for skirts, pleated, trapeze and sun skirts are the best choices.

Emphasized waistline

A high-waisted bottom will look best. Bright and chunky accessories, such as belts, will help emphasize femininity. Give preference to fitted styles and wrap-around clothes.
