If you have broad shoulders and large bust, then you probably have one of these body types: hourglass<\/a><\/strong>, apple<\/strong><\/a>, inverted triangle<\/a><\/strong>, plus size or muscular rectangle<\/a><\/strong>. In this article, I’m going to talk about how to dress broad shoulders and large bust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being blessed with broad shoulders and large busts gives you ample opportunities to play down and flaunt a wide range of styles. Let\u2019s start with the top neckline styles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our neck works like a magnet, driving immense attention. And if you have broad shoulders and large busts, you\u2019re already pulling in the strings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about doing it in style? Selecting an ideal neckline will help soften your appearance and create an illusion of narrower shoulders. This way, it’ll balance your proportion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Opt for V-neckline and Y-halters.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ideal necklines for showcasing broad shoulders and ample bust is the regular, standard, narrow V-neckline<\/em> and Y-halter<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two neckline styles work wonders for women with broad shoulders and fuller bust. They showcase your assets <\/em>(your ample bust) and create a balance in your entire ensemble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are, however, certain halter styles that you should avoid if you don’t wanna broaden your shoulders further. Like this one:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Avoid this halter top!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The straps of this halter were formed like an inverted V. This is a no-no for broad-shouldered women. As you can see, the shoulders look too prominent thus sucking all the attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add to that the waist-hugging midsection which only emphasized the broad shoulders against the narrow waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessories to complete the look<\/strong>: Complete the look with a pair of drop earrings. You can also go solo without any accessory. Let your neck do the talking! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Match light-colored bottoms with darker tops.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the hourglass body type, <\/em>women with broader shoulders and larger busts have to work on creating illusions to either appear more extensive at the bottom or narrower at the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pairing a light-colored bottom with a darker top does just that. Dark colors (like black) are slimming while light colors are widening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a perfect combination since the color contrasts help in designing an appealing appearance – which is a Narrower Top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Accentuate your waist.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re endowed in the upper body and not in the lower part? That\u2019s where you need to apply a few tricks and tips to balance out your figure by emphasizing your waist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peplum for the not-so endowed bottom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have you heard of \u201cpeplum sheath\u201d or \u201cpeplum tops\u201d? These are awesome when it comes to accentuating your not-so-endowed waistline. Peplum tops or sheaths are short tops, designed with a gathered flared style from the midriff till the waist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The structure of the top goes easy on your waist, but the flare pattern balances the fuller shoulder. The style adds volume to your hip region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Wear A-Line and skater skirts to add volume to your hips.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Let\u2019s start with A-line skirts. They fit around the hip and waist area naturally, without limping down. A-line skirts are tight at the hips and waist. They\u2019re designed to flare out from the hip area, giving your bottom a triangular shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skater skirts look fab on inverted triangle body type or women with wider shoulders and larger busts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for skater skirts that are designed in the form of high-waisted skirts. They not only help conceal your tummy region or bulge but also work wonders on balancing your lower body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The best pants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Bootcut<\/em> or flare<\/em> jeans are the best pants for broad-shouldered women as they create balance to the overall figure while drawing the focus to the bottom and downplaying the shoulders in the process. The result is a harmonious level of curves. The same thing could also be said for other wide-legged pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Opt for wide straps over tiny ones.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re heavily graced with an ample bosom and broad shoulders, you simply cannot bank on tank tops. They will only make you look colossal. Tiny spaghetti straps are not ideal for women with an inverted triangle shape or broader shoulders and large busts as they emphasize the broadness of the shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wider straps conceal shoulder weight <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In fact, wider straps are what you should opt for because they add objective between your shoulder and neck, thereby making your upper body emerge smaller than before. Wider straps allow a proportionate distribution of your weight – ideal for emphasizing your neckline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just sleeve it the diagonal way <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve talked about straps. Now let\u2019s focus on sleeves. Sleeves are not just a simple design of fabric, added to a top or dress. They\u2019re the source of fashion semblance, especially for women with wide shoulders and large bust. So, selecting one according to your body type is critical for the ultimate style statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose sleeves with a diagonal cut. Why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleeves with diagonal cut or style soften the appearance of your upper body. The diagonal lines further play down your bust size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to accessorize broad shoulders and large bust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to drawing attention away from your chest is to complete your ensemble with the right accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
