How to Style Broad Shoulders & Create BALANCED Outfits

[@Gemaryermus]

Here is my latest video on this topic where I talk more about emphasizing broad shoulders while still creating balanced outfits: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYbVXquXr8hqr68

[@milahmichaelalindquist9507]

Wow. Didn’t realise how much I needed this video until I saw it. Now I know what to do when all I see is “shoulders” in an outfit. Make it work.

My issue is not that I dislike my broad shoulders..it's that whenever I buy something it is too tight in the shoulders...i feel like the Hulk busting out! Note to designers: not all women have dainty shoulders.

[@gusmonster59]

**L** That has been me my entire life (I'm 62). I still have problems with things not fitting well across my shoulders. There are certain cuts that work well for us without having to size up.

[@Jadedgems]

True!

[@mentosmints2828]

i accidentally tore a shirt in a fitting room because of my shoulders :/ so i bought it

[@liyamariamjohn1332]

Saaaaaaaaaammmmmee!!!! I ve always had this problem..sigh..

[@LenaClue]

I felt this in a deep level, I usually just buy men shirts at this point but it always made feel like I lost my feminine touch because of it but then I try to go get something from the woman’s section and I literally have to size up to like XL or 2XL literally making me loose my waist and myself since im like 5ft tall 😭

[@AbigaleKirsten]

Tbh i find big shoulders attractive, it makes a person look really strong and tough. The media really wants to over glorify dainty, fragile or smaller shoulders, and while they are attractive too, its just simply over glorified and over used. A lot of tough characters in gaming, when the character is a true fighter often have stronger shoulders. If they dont then something is wrong with the team that created em lol. Which is why i have a major problem with the casting of marvel or super hero female characters. I think we should embrace the shoulders, i certainly want to practice embracing mine too.

As a competitive swimmer my whole life, even in college, it’s been a blessing having stronger shoulders. But now that swimming is in the past I’m left with this weird triangle shape with broad thick shoulders and oddly long arms 🥲 I never wear sleeveless or strappy tops bc of this. Glad to see I’m not the only one! Thank you for the video!

same exact thing after stopping swimming I was frustrated with my broaaad shoulders but it's good to know others are exactly the same!!

[@karolinedemon]

Same i was swimming as a child and i didn’t even know it did that to shoulders and shape them and i stopped LONG time ago and going to high school i learned someone also was swimming and it changes your shoulders Boy i regred bc sometimes i have such nice outfits but the shoulders make me look weird especially in blouses or dresses :(

[@NoctilucaBloom]

@@karolinedemon yes lol, broad shoulders and thick upper thighs. I only regularly swam for a year or so when I was 11 and that build never went away.

[@sebumpostmortem]

NO NO NO AND NOOOO!!!!!! Broad shoulders are gorrrgeus!!! I' ve been a rhythmic gymnast all my life and we have a ballerina-ish body but with wider shoulders. I love how they structure my whole body. I love the contrast with my tiny waist. And I adore my calves wich are literally wider than my mouse face, legit🐭😅. Narrow shoulders tend to create the optical illusion of having super wide hips. Gwen Stefani, Mila Jovovich, Stéphanie and Charlene of Monaco for example😍🙌🏻. The way society "punishes" female swimmer body is outrageus😤 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤🖤🖤

I love broad shoulders but I’ve noticed that a lot of women aren’t as happy with their broader shoulders as they should be so I wanted to film a video on some tips for them.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

I'm not a swimmer AT ALL, but I look precisely like an Olympic swimmer, with extremely broad shoulders and also a VERY broad back. Makes finding blazers that fit well, really hard. I have larger upper arms, too and can't lie, am envious of women with normal to slender shoulders and upper arms and back. (I have wide hips, very much an hourglass.) But I also see the beauty in having a body that resembles an Amazonian/Wonder Woman shape. :)

[@phoebewhitaker4036]

These tips are spot on! I’m technically an hourglass shape, but I always feel like my shoulders seem to look too prominent and I’ve been doing a lot of these things since learning about it and it helps me a ton with my confidence! I love low v necks. Game changer! I also realized if I tie a bandana around my neck and the knot sits beneath my collarbone, it creates that v shaped silhouette without having to wear and jewelry!

[@cap4life1]

Broad shoulders help balance your silhouette already. It also makes your waist look smaller if you’re going for an hourglass effect. It’s one of the best natural features to have!

I don't really understand why that is but while most people here say those tipps work for them I feel that when you accentuate the torso area you automatically put emphasis on the shoulders too. I have broad shoulders and what works for me is wearing fitted clothing and long wavy hair. Most oversized pieces just don't feel comfortable because they look bulky and make everything look even broader. Maybe it's a difference in styles, I don't know. But I'm happy that the tipps mentioned in the video work so well for many people, even if they don't work for me personally.

[@christabellll]

Is it weird that I prefer the picture on the left of the thumbnail to the one on the right? Sometimes, fashion tips appear to be all about making people blend in. I have broader shoulders and I love them. Maybe it’s because my shoulders to hips to waist ratio is hourglass. Anyway, I’m learning to love the body I’m in as it is.

[@AlllSmiless]

ME TOO!! I actually feel like mock necks or that type of shape where the neck line goes in is not only pleasing to my eye, I find that it take attention away from the shoulder and gives the illusion of smaller shoulders like those illusion dresses that make the waist look smaller by making a curved line where the waist comes in. Adding extra fabric I feel draws attention to the shoulders. But like you, I think broad shoulders are pretty and regal. Almost "modely". I'm more of a shape person anyways. I like shoulders that are kinda boxy as opposed to sloping regardless of if they're broad or not.

This is the first video for styling a specific body type I’ve seen where everything was practical. There were facts, which could be problems, but you gave us solutions. Very well organized video, thank you!

[@alee9198]

Thank you so much for this video!! I'm so glad i found somebody with the same body type as me!!! I have really broad shoulders, a tiny waist and a bit of hips but theyre not as wide as my shoulders. I'm currently going thru a fashion style change/journey, and I want to be proud of my body!! I've realized our bodies will inevitably change as we get older and I want to make the most out of the one I have right now.. thank you for the tips!!

Honestly my massive shoulders are my best feature, they make me feel powerful.

[@Pumpkiwi47]

I had no idea my shoulders were broad or normal but I after watching this I know for sure I have super broad shoulders and oddly I have been following all of these tips without realising it! I always thought I looked "heavy/bulky" in the outfits designed for tiny shoulders so I just tried to change my outfits a bit and I really did follow these tips with trial and error, loved the validation though :D

[@simplysuelou2014]

At 55 I realize that I’ve subconsciously done some of these most of my life. Thanks for making it real.

This was randomly on my recommendation tab and I'm glad I clicked. I always wondered if I'm styling my broad shoulders correctly. I got them from my mother and I don't mind them, I don't have an insecurity but I want to style myself correctly. This was very informative. 💫❤ You have a new sub!

[@Gemaryermus]

Thanks dear!! Glad you found it helpful 🤍🤍

[@Ana-sj5xx]

My bust and my hips are exactly the same size, my waist is 10in smaller than both and my shoulders are wider than all these other parts, so it's not a very common body type. I love how you never implied broad shoulders have to be hidden. I think they're great. Some days I want to balance everything out (and I love your tips for that! ❤️), and some days I love my broad shoulders and want to accentuate them and look powerful. Also, they make our waist look snatched in comparison, so that's a nice bonus!

[@resilientum]

so nice to see positive comments 🥲 the conversation around broad shoulders on women is almost always about how much we hate it and want to hide it

[@figsuitcase]

this video is so useful! I have the exact same body type, shoulders>hips>waist, and I've been sort of accidentally doing a lot of these things but couldn't figure out why some outfits work and some don't! it's so empowering to be able to choose how you highlight yourself, and know you're rocking it when you want to.

[@alexandriadanyelle5406]

I love showing off my broad shoulders, makes me feel like an athlete

[@roosjesisi]

I love love love broad shoulders, I always had them and bodybuilding has made them a lot broader. I get so excited when people point them out. It’s the part I love the most about my body.

[@sophie3734]

Another tip. Make sure the arm/shoulder seams of the shirt you're wearing lay on the correct place, at the beginning of the arm. If it's pulling around that area it makes your shoulder look broader also! ❤️ Square necks are also a game changer👌🏻

[@Sookie1000]

I have broad shoulders thick waist and slim legs. Have spent most of my life trying to show off my legs and hide everything else 🙄I’ve since learnt that my body is deserving of love what ever it’s shape but has taken me 40 years to realise this. Wish I hadn’t wasted so much time trying to change myself and conform to an ideal. Bright coloured tops make me look huge and top heavy but they make me happy and at the end of the day it’s all about confidence. ❤

The high neck tanks are my favorite because they draw attention to my shoulders, I love a good set of delts.

Gurl, same. And I need to wear blazers for work and good luck finding blazers that fit my upper arms and shoulders well, while not being overly huge elsewhere. lol. I often end up wearing sheath dresses, sleeveless ones, then tossing a cardigan over it or a sweater/blazer-ish jacket over the dress.

From a broad shouldered lady to another, these tips are invaluable. I appreciate my broad shoulders as I got older and interestingly enough get complimented for it.

[@llmtxll3654]

Something that I remind myself whenever I feel self conscious about my broad shoulders is knowing that a lot of models have broad shoulders! Broad shoulders definitely gives off powerful vibes that I am in love with whenever I see models on the runway! They also definitely give the illusion of a smaller body and waist ❤️

[@gyuvie3071]

i have the same body type as you and i’ve always been so insecure about my shoulders because they just seemed so BROAD, but i think it might be time to just embrace it AND learn how to dress so that my shoulders don’t stand out as much thank you so much for this

[@charlesonc_]

My body proportions are so so similar to yours. This video made me feel good about myself because I thought that your body looked really good. That means that my incecurity about my broad shoulders is probably feeling worse than it actually seems to others. Thank you!

I’m so glad I’ve found this video. I’m extremely conscious and insecure about my shoulders and I even stopped doing things I loved in the past (playing tennis and swimming), just because I thought they were getting too wide. 15 years later, I regret those decisions but today I’ve decided to have a healthier relationship with my body and myself. Your tips were so helpful and I’m definitely gonna use each one of them. I believe that, by feeling confident, beautiful and good in my clothes, I’ll be able to embrace my wide shoulders soon. So, thank you for sharing your tips 💕

[@nymphtear2755]

I’m 19 and build very similar to you and I’ve always struggled with liking my shoulders and it quickly became my biggest insecurity around the time I was in high school but ive been trying to accept and love them so much and this video and reading the comments really makes me feel a little more validated than I used to feel. I’ve always felt pressured to have wider hips and I’m glad I never really gave into that standard but I’ve really come along way with just living in my body and not really caring what my figure looks like the those around me. 💕

[@manonle1021]

I’m so happy to finally see an influencer with a body exactly like mine!

[@gusmonster59]

It is amazing how we pick some part of our body to obsess over. I have very broad shoulders and never thought about them other than finding things that fit. I have never tried to hide them or 'dress' for them. Be happy with who you are and how you are built. If we all looked the same, as it seems we try so hard to do, it would be (and is) BORING. NOTE: There is NOTHING wrong with your body. The only thing 'wrong' is that you have been told by other people (mostly media and celebrities) that something is wrong.

[@Jennifer-hk4jy]

This is a very underrated comment. Watching this video I cant help but be a bit confused because I don't really agree with the girl in the video. I dont think she has broad shoulders at all. In fact, I'd argue she looks damn near proportionately perfect. So what exactly are we supposed to be scrutinizing here? That a beautiful woman doesnt have the most perfect shoulders she would prefer, so let's figure out how to hide them? I understand every human being will dislike the way they look in some form or another. Even the most beautiful beings will find something to hate about themselves.. But every once in a while I watch these kinds of videos and I wonder if we are doing more harm than good. The hyperfocus on appearance is....not attractive and not productive. (Insert very unpopular opinion above)

[@nusaibahibraheem8183]

Well it depends, I have broad shoulders compared to my hips and I never liked them. But yes, the media does play a role sometimes.

[@nusaibahibraheem8183]

@@Jennifer-hk4jy She has broad shoulders compared to her hips. Basically her hips are narrower than her shoulders, it is exactly like mine. I don't find my shoulders to be too broad, it is my hips that is narrow. So I dress similar to her and love the outcome.

It didn't occur to me to reach out for a video like this, I've hated summer looks because of my broad shoulders, hopefully now I can feel more confident :) thank you

[@emmawilding9484]

BLESS YOU for making this video. ive found so many videos that are just made by middle aged women that say you cannot wear anything but v-necks if you have broad shoulders and i feel like this is the first realistic, uplifting and practical video aimed at younger people who want to be able to go along with current trends

[@nolabelz]

I am glad I stumbled upon this video. Over the past 4 years, I've lost weight, so the body shape I mostly identified with (hourglass) became less recognizable. Looking at this video, I realize that I am now in-between an inverted triangle and hourglass. Since working out, my shoulders and arms have become more defined and I've been struggling somewhat on how to dress it. My biggest challenge will be the snatching the waist since I've never been the hugest fan of belts. Thanks so much for the tips.

[@danisa3125]

You forgot to mention denim jackets, trench coats, coats with giant collars, jackets that drape (waterfall jackets), thicker strapped tops, striped shirts (vertical), balloon sleeves and draped sleeves, but above all else embrace this feature. I was just looking at photos of Jennifer Lopez and she has broader shoulders than her hips and she was celebrated for her beautiful derrière.

Wow, exactly the same here - between hourglass and inverted triangle. I appreciate this video as I like to balance my figure too. I've learned several of these things as well over time. Another tip if you're top heavy is to wear dark on top and light on bottom. That's like my go to trick.

I'm a flamboyant natural and these tips are things I've noticed and have railed against as an FN. But I look good in crop tops and cinched waist, although I can also pull off oversized sweaters/cardigans without the cinch. The other thing I've noticed that looks good is an A-line silhouette... creating that with a dress, skirt, or pants. Thanks for validating what I've been noticing! Very good tips.

[@mello2365]

Love these tips and you look so elegant as usual! ❤️ I remember reading somewhere that wearing darker coloured bottoms with a lighter coloured top puts less attention on the lower half of your body, and more attention on the shoulders/torso, so wearing the opposite (lighter bottoms + darker top) accentuates the lower half-resulting in less attention on broad shoulders!

[@Gemaryermus]

this was so useful! I typically gain a little weight during my time of the month (add 5lbs on me changed my body drastically because I'm 4'10") and noticed that when I'm thinner I do have an hour glass shape but I did notice my arms store a little bit more fat in my arms than in my thighs when it happens. For the life of me I could not figure out how to style myself when I go through those changes in my body. SO THANK YOU this helps me out so much.
