- Sharing a couple of tips and tricks on how to style broad shoulders. I'll be showing you ways you can embrace them or reduce them by using clothes to widen your hips and create more balance. These are quick and simple tips that I use almost every time that I get dressed in order to make my outfits look more balanced. These tips will also work if you are inbetween an inverted triangle and an hourglass body shape but not quite a rectangle body shape.

Here is my latest video on this topic where I talk more about emphasizing broad shoulders while still creating balanced outfits: czcams.com/video/_Ur-xazc7yM/video.html
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.
**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.
Same!!
True!
i accidentally tore a shirt in a fitting room because of my shoulders :/ so i bought it
Saaaaaaaaaammmmmee!!!! I ve always had this problem..sigh..
I finally found someone that is in between an inverted triangle and an hour glass❤️
Same!!
YES OMG
any suggestion of kibbe?
Saaame
Me too!! 🤧🤧
I was traumatized as a kid when someone told me my wide shoulders and thick calves made me look like a linebacker-football player 😭😭 ....but I love me now 😀❤️
My stepdad called me a linebacker on multiple occasions. 🙄🙄😫😫 but eh I like em now
Yes!! My cousin mentioned it once maybe 10 years ago and I always think about it!!
My own parents made jokes about me as well and I didn’t realize how much it impacted me until I turned 30! They were joking but it really made me feel less than other dainty looking women. I felt inferior around them even though my shoulders were superior lol Now Im learning to truly love the way God Created me. We are All beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yikes, who would tell a little girl she looks like a linebacker? People are really careless sometimes
Sharing my traumatizing experience as well. My roommate took a picture of me while sleeping and hugging a pillow which emphasize my shoulder/arm muscle and even shared it with our common friends. Made fun of it because it's like a male arm.. 😢
I love that the algorithm just knows i have broad shoulders without me looking something up abt it and recommends this to me
Me too
Kind of scary but I will take it
Right!? Wtf😭😭
I have grown to love my broad shoulders. My grandma always told me she envied my broad shoulders bc they make clothes look better and give a woman a stately appearance. Thanks grandma! I
My grandma always said broad shoulders look regal and are a sign of royalty!!!
@@sanjanapatel6402 That is very uplifting.
ur granny is amazing
I was reading about this and it said Princess Diana was broad shouldered.
Also : Zendaya, Naomi Campbell
Your grandma is right, I don’t like broad shoulders for myself personally, but I have noticed as well that a woman with broad shoulders that wears a mature style looks stately! That’s a good word to describe it, never had a word for it.
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.
Yess omg! And the gaming thing is soooo true
Beautiful speech!
Yeeeesss!!
And broader shoulders don't exactly mean muscley or buff as well. I love seeing broad shoulders on men and women. Clothes seems to hang better and the body looks more balanced.
I love a strong woman. I have broad shoulders myself and I love showing them off. I feel sexy
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!
Least you can swim I have broad shoulders and can’t even swim what a waste 😆
same exact thing after stopping swimming I was frustrated with my broaaad shoulders but it's good to know others are exactly the same!!
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 :(
@@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.
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😤 🧛🏻♀️🖤🖤🖤
Did i just learn that my body is indeed a mix between inverted triangle and hour glass? Yes. I have broad shoulders + im tall, my relationship with my shoulders is ✨complicated✨ but I guess we kinda learn how to dress more properly in our very unique way and not just by following trends. Great tips, and even greater examples, thank you for this!
You are likely just an inverted triangle, you are only an hourglass when your hips are as broad as your shoulders.
You could be a top hourglass. I'm like you girl I would be an hourglass if my chest was a little smaller and my shoulders were a little less wide but idc I still love my body 😁
@@nusaibahibraheem8183not really. It doesn’t have to be exactly equal. The sizes being close to equal makes you an hourglass.
Unpopular opinion: I try to highlight my shoulders because I worked very hard for them at the gym 😂
Same hahah im okay with looking like a linebacker, I've earned it 😂
Yesss same 🙌
Yes! You go girl!
@@k8t1485 thank you Kate!! you're too sweet!
Haha same, somehow my arms and shoulders are the first part of my body that tone up when I workout regularly.
As a girl with broad shoulders, ppl sometimes mistaken me as an athlete or even a policewoman because my shoulders make my appearance look healthy as if i just come out right away from the gym😂
Same ! People tell me that I look athletic but I'm very sloppy when it comes to that
Isn't it great? I have broad shoulders and that's what keeps my self esteem when I'm not as fit as I wish. It's something to be thankful for :)
@@TheAkhilamascreen same and I haven’t seriously worked out in years XD I personally love accentuating them though with halters and v necklines because strangers think they shouldn’t f*** w me cuz i look tough apparently hahaha
Saaaame
Same lol
As a person with broad shoulder, I personally think halter tops are better for me, it's up to your choice of style I think. I don't like looking loose and curvy so. But layering tips are really helpful, I love it.
I was just thinking this. I honestly love the look of halters on me vs anything else
yes! i’ve noticed too that i get more compliments on my outfits when i’m wearing halters and high-neck shirts
I was going to say! I am a surfer with a strong back and shoulders and love a halter top on me!
yeah! same I have broad shoulder and halter tops is amazing.
Same here halter tops are my best look I have broad shoulders
I Love How down to earth her attitude is. You see that the whole video really is about giving tips to the ones who need them and not about representing oneself. It’s a great video. Keep doing what you do!
Yes! Agreed
Thank you so much for this❤️ I feel like no one talks about broad shoulders
🤍🤍🤍
It's because broad shoulders are beautiful! There are no problems with having big shoulders, in the Model industry, beauty pageants that's a plus! Always wear something that compliments it!
@@bummerl_09 I never said they weren’t. 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. Like I said, it’s about experimenting and wearing whatever makes you feel confident. Also, not everyone has the body of a model so they might not feel as happy with their bodies and shoulders as models do, this video is meant to help change that. If you watched till the end I mentioned embracing your shoulders as well. 🤍
Hollie, to Kibbe many Models have broad shoulders (they are 'flamboyant Naturals' in his system), you might be also one or a 'Soft Natural') + you have many style options.
Hi everyone, Just Look to Video 'style thoughts by Rita': there is a new one (14 ours ago) with 'Flamboyant Naturals' + 'Naturals', just for your frame !!! Enjoy IT. There is also 'Aly Art'.
I’ve never seen someone with such a similar body type to mine - long and slim but muscular legs, a short torso with a small, high waist and hips that aren’t particularly wide or narrow, with a bigger but not massive chest and broad shoulders. I’m so glad I found your channel!
glad you did
You literally just described my body to a T lol
@@trianna2008 I know same here 😭
The way u perfectly described my body type😧
Same here!
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 feel like the only woman with an "hourglass" figure here in South America lol, everyone else is a pear 🥺
@@AltraiidEmbrace your own beauty ✨️ South American women are gorgeous in every body shape
This is really comforting
No they don’t i look like a man!! it makes my head look so small and on top of my big ass shoulders i’ve also got a wide ribcage so even if it did balance my silhouette my ribcage completely ruins it
This feels really nice to hear. I have been really insecure about my broad shoulders because I am a swimmer
I have always been so insecure about my broad shoulders, It has always been so hard for me to find clothes that would fit well with my shoulders, I would literally cry in the stalls at stores because clothes would not fit me because of them, After seeing this video it made me feel more secure about them, being able to see someone else also have broad shoulders and embracing them making them look like a work of art has inspired me! Thank you for making this video and making me feel less insecure about them, this was honestly something I need for so long 🖤 and the tips for sure I would put them to use!
I used to buy mens clothes because womens' never fit and I just gave up on them lol
I too have cried over my shoulders in changing rooms. it would fit my shoulders and not my torso... you're not alone
When u have broad shoulders AND chubby arms 😩
Ughhh tell me about it, iam thinking about liposuctioning them lol 😬😂
it sucks! i am like genetically this way tho... always have been. no matter if I'm 100 lbs or 130.
@@fakingfrench haha me too I kind of learned to accept it and love them but seriously sometimes they get in the road of a cute outfit 😭😅😂
@@fakingfrench I feel u😩 I'm only 112lbs but I'm short, have chubby arms and face so I get called fat all the time. Like I don't even care explaining anymore I'm just tired
@@hiro-sl5og I also have a round/chubby face. Not to mention I've gained like 15lbs. I'm sure you're beautiful! Having a round face isn't all bad. People think I'm 10 years younger than I am! Gotta focus on the positives.
CZcams recommendations are getting better day by day, it's scary
THIS!!
yooo
HOW DO THEY KNOW
I think something and it shows up. 😂
Omg! I couldn’t agree more!
This is the FIRST video on body shape/how to dress that I didn’t feel like garbage after watching!!! Thank you, thank you! 🥹
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!
Me and my broad shoulders, flat chest , no ass no hips 😂 God just did his job 🙏and if I gain weight it go in to my arms and face just imagine don't forget my hip dips ......thanks for all the like and reply 😗😗 girl's let's love our body
😂😂😂 my chest be so shy while my ass is hiding
That's me, but my thighs are on the chick side
@@kumarules118 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 He is just a great Architect
You’re literally describing me as well😂
I am actually happy to have broad shoulders! As you can see in this video, it can help your waist look smaller if you dress to balance everything!
Me too. Women wear puffy shirts and padded shoulders to balance. I play up my shoulders. Love. Kibbe helped that.
Exactly, i actually liked the first photo of the thumbnail that had the wrong symbol on it. It kinda balances off onto your waist pretty well. When i saw that i felt like that was the right way to do it. Personally i actually liked it better. Broad shoulders look cool i feel like.
@@adimarzer6432 right i thought i was the only one
Me too!I also have a conspicuous collarbone and I love offshoulder tops ,with a neckpiece,but I don't really bother muting the broadness.
it also makes my head look smaller
I’m also in between an inverted triangle and hourglass. I love off the shoulders and the trending puffy princess sleeves! I actually feel like the puffy sleeves disguises my broad shoulders. Instead of people thinking that I have broad shoulder, they think it’s just the sleeves.
I loved how you showed how to use "unflattering" pieces. Everybody else (who isn't our body shape) only mention what to use and what NOT to, and skip how to style things usually unflattering
Broad shoulders are so striking 💜 they remind me of Greek sculptures with their athletic fondness
Great video!
Thank you love 🤍🤍
Exactly what I was thinking!
This is a nice comment, thanks
As a swimmer who competes in pool and open water ocean races, I have really broad shoulders! I've learned to love them as they are a result of what makes me a healthy & strong woman. Surprisingly, it's actually what I get complimented on the most. I love that you are celebrating body positivity Gemary. Thank you for all these lovely outfit ideas, it's inspiring me to put some new looks together!
Yassss! Rock those broad shoulders!! Thanks for watching love ☺️🤍
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. :)
We have the same body shape, and I've been confused about what it is for years. I mostly just dress like an hourglass but I avoid super puffy sleeves. I feel like a football player in puff sleeves.
I think that I would look like a rugby player in puffy sleeves
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 💕
You literally have the same body shape as me where like, I kinda have an hour glass with broader shoulders and being 5ft, I felt like I couldn’t ever find cloths/styles that suited me. You channel has helped me be so much more accepting and confident of who I am and I’m so much more better at showing off my body rather than hide it :,)
Awww yay!! That makes me happy 🥰🤍🤍
I’m 5’ft too and have the same body type as hers🤣🤣
Same here! Except I'm like 5'3 haha
yessss samewew
as a girl with broad shoulders and hips and a small waist that was growing up in 2000s when anyone that wasn't a size 0, skinny, with narrow hips was considered ugly and 'fat' lol and it made me so self concious and hating my body.
now as a developed woman with a very dramatic hourglass figure, i am proud of my big hips and shoulders and i really enjoy my figure.
wow, i’m so jealous of you haha! i’m literally shaped like a stick, but youknow, so what! I’m glad you’re proud of your body🤍
i wish bodies didnt come in and out of trends and that we could appreciate all body types but your hourglass and hips is definitely in now.
I just found that many people were pro-anorexia back in the day. The low rise jeans probably gave so many women anxiety
@@al.345 I totally agree, I wish there was more diversity of human bodies in the beauty and fashion industry so young people wouldn't develop body dysmorphia, eating disorders and lack of confidence.. I really feel like 'body trends' are damaging for everyone.
@@MV-rt4hy Your body is amazing and it serves a purpose, you're living in it.
It’s so nice to see someone with my shoulders. I’ve felt so manly with them but you made me realize this is normal and I’m so beautiful
So happy I found this video. I've been insecure about my broad shoulders for so long, but seeing it on others, makes me think it's quite beautiful. Thank you!!
Me & my broad shoulders are sooo grateful. I’ve always struggled with what suits without feeling insecure. Thank you ❤️
🤍🤍🤍🤍

I'm just here to say I FLAUNT my broad shoulders and after years of finding them unattractive because they didn't fit the mold, I love them. I feel powerful and strong with them, and would never want them to look smaller. I hope one day you can feel comfortable in your strong shoulders and view them as a blessing. Not everyone has assets like those, and they look beautiful
Completely agree, love mine now
Yes girl 🔥 I actually think she looked better with the accented shoulders - it really showed of her waistline. I appreciate strong shoulders. Everyone needs to stop trying to fit a single mould
So glad someone finally did a video on this. I have broad shoulders and an hourglass figure and am always trying to find someone online who understands my body type. I think you’re the only one who actually gets it. It’s definitely a struggle sometimes.
I almost find no videos on modern styling tips with our body type and you have no idea how thankful I found your channel!!! All the comments here are either so relatable or supportive of loving our beautiful board shoulders. Thank you for this space!!!
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.
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.
Same girl!I have broad shoulders and I prefer the left one or like halter cuts.
I was searching specifically for a comment like this haha
I definitely think the hip to shoulder ratio matters. My shoulders are wider than my hips, so I wind up looking square at the bottom and wide up top because my boobs and shoulders are big. It makes me look so weird when I'm trying to wear a dress. If I had the hips too, I'd look amazing.
The one on the left looks like they work out, powerful, cool and the one on the right looks.. average. So yh. I agree. Rather than trying to fit the norm, one looks way more attractive embracing how they do look like.
You don’t know how thankful I am to finally find someone who has the same body type as me 😭😭😭 I’ve always been confused with my body type
i am between hourglass and inclined too! 😭😭
Sameeeeeee here
PLS SAME
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. 💕
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.
Honestly, you have a perfect shape. I don't think you have broad shoulders, you look perfectly proportionate!
Agree
Same. Theyre a little broad but its not obvious just looks propotionate
I thought the same.
That's such a backhand compliment tho oof
@@nithi9638 not really
Their comment didn't really have another meaning to it
They genuinely meant she looked good
Just a personal opinion of mine, I hate having broad shoulders and have a flat chest at the same time. This video was really helpful 💗
Same here..but I
have fat arm and lots of fat in my armpit area😭😭 t
@@chukhuyayo789 THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. I’m technically close to being on the underweight side but somehow the fat on my body stays in my upper arm/armpit area. I don’t understand it at all RIP.
@Lin we have the same body type, inverted triangle, broad shoulders, flat chest, small hips, thin waist. Did you play many sports as a kid? I know with swimming this body type can have advantages.
we literally have the same body type that's between inverted triangle and hourglass! I'm very happy to have found this video 🤗
I’m so glad I found this. 1) I’m doing a wardrobe makeup quite soon. 2) I have internalised trauma from being teased about my shoulders and so I hunch subconsciously. I realised the hunch and I’m working to fix that because I know I look damn good and my shoulders are quite fine. Thanks again because I loved your tips.
I just learnt that I have broad shoulders AND I also just learnt that people don't like them? Why? I think it's stunning & makes you look like a model imo.
Ikrrr i love my broad shoulders too . The other tank top which made the owner of this channels shoulder looked broader i thought it looked sexy and without reading the caption i thouht shes prolly teaching how to pose cuz the second pic looked dull comparatively to the other tank top pic which focused on her shoulders
I agree. These fashion tips a good but I think they look so pretty. Especially combined with a nice collarbones. I really like it
Who doesn’t like broad shoulders?!?? Most supermodels (the actual real original ones from the 90s and early 2000s) all have broad shoulder and it gives them presence. So tired of people always finding features that makes others feels less than. Like freaking hip dips were no issues until the Kardashian fake wisdom teeth 🦷 hips started trending.
@@froyokid I swear to god, people are just finding new things to feel insecure about. Not saying videos like this perpetuates the idea that broad shoulders are bad but it lowkey does SMH! Why cover them in the first place? We're not cookie cutter copies of each other, we don't have to look like one another & live upto ONE strict beauty/body standard.
I have had a difficult relationship with my broad shoulders! I’m not very thin so I don’t look like a model and its kind of a complex that I look manly..:/
Thank you for making broad shoulder girls feel seen!!!! I have a love/hate relationship with my shoulders, and seeing a strong and inspiring woman like you create content for our body type is amazing. You have been my style icon all year, I’m looking forward to future videos!
Love from NYC xo
Broad shoulders unite!!!! 😂🤍 All shoulders are beautiful, sometimes it’s just a matter of styling. Thanks so much for watching love, I really appreciate it!!

It's so good to see someone so confident and showing we don't need to be afraid of our features. I love loose/baggy clothes to create volume, and i rarely wear tanks because i don't like to show my arms + shoulders. But it's so nice to see you wearing strapless tops and looking amazing! :)
This video is amazing! I've struggled with styling my broad shoulders so much to the point that it's always really difficult for me to buy tops. This video was soo need. Thank you so much for posting this! I'm also an inverted triangle/hourglass so this video is actually perfect for me 🤗♥
I second the "size up and get the waist altered" advice on pants. I also recommend trying it for skirt and shorts. It's changed my life lol.
Yeppp I buy almost everything oversized now adays 🤍🤍
As a broad-shouldered almost-hourglass (a Soft Natural among Kibbe body types) growing up in Asia, looking for clothes that fit well is a life-long struggle. This video helped open my eyes to why certain combinations work better than others. Thank you thank you thank you, I (finally) feel seen
I’ve never heard a more clear description of my body type. Not rectangle but not hourglass. Yes botas shoulders… soooooo helpful thank you!! I was wondering if anybody related to my description just as yours!
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
Honestly my massive shoulders are my best feature, they make me feel powerful.
I have ridiculously broad shoulders with a super straight body, and the oversized pants trick was so good! Thx 😇
Yay!! Glad you found it helpful ☺️🤍
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
THANK YOU! Growing up I've always had broad shoulders to where people thought in highschool that I was working out, lifting weights. I also have the whole inverted triangle and hourglass thing
You're so welcome! Glad you found this helpful love. ❤️❤️
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 ❤️
This is the video that I didn’t realise that I needed! You have an enviable body shape and these were Great tips and helps explain why, when I followed other body-type tips, the clothes still didn’t seem to sit well on my body. Glad I came across this video 😊
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!
Omg I didn't know I needed this video! I always believed that I was just born with these "unfeminine" shoulders and I couldn't do anything about it - I didn't know I can work it to my advantage! New subscriber here!
Welcome to the fam love 🤍🤍
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!!
Thanks for watching love!! Glad you resonated with this video and found it helpful!
It's my first time seeing someone who accurately describes a body type so close to mine. Like holy crap, I'm not alone. 💞
SO happy i came across this!!! I find myself already doing some of the tricks you show here but you showed me so many new tips too ahhh
I love showing off my broad shoulders, makes me feel like an athlete
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!
Thank you for watching dear! Glad you found it helpful 🤍
I realized I did all these intuitively. Nice to hear it in a structured way and see the logic behind this tips
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
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.
?? Jlo is very bottom heavy
@@DaintyAbby so you thought, look again
@@yaniquewest455 i did. With a magnifying glass. She is very bottom heavy. Flat chest
I literally look like a linebacker. So I appreciate this video so much!
I feel you 🤍🤍🤍
@@Gemaryermus Nah you u look like a greek sculpture goddess to me🤍
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.
Haven’t even watched the video yet; just here to thank you for the choice of your words in the title. It's the outfit that is balanced and changed here; not the shoulders. I think it's soo important to keep in mind that we have nothing to change, the outfit has to (exept when we feel great in it of course). Much love ❤
😊 Girl! Thank you for making this video! I’m shaped like a triangle and have always been insecure about my broad shoulders. I’ve always felt like it made me look less feminine 😔. I LOVE your style. I’m always trying to go for that casual chic look but for some reason can never pull it off right lol
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!
Thanks dear!! Glad you found it helpful 🤍🤍
As a broad-shouldered pear, I support this video 👏🏼👏🏼🤣
🤍🤍🤍
Omg me too. I've always struggled with my body image because I'm pear-shaped but also have broad shoulders
Same!!
Isnt that an houglass
@@victoriaumukoro116 Unfortunately not. Hourglass bodies tend to come with the boobs and slim shoulders as well. Pears do not.
This really helped. I never liked my shoulders and it can be frustrating. But you’ve made me feel more confident. 🙏❤️
This is the most amazing video! It took me all of the last 2 weeks to find bandeau tops and palazzo pants but thank you so much for bringing back that look. I am EXCITED for summer 😘!
from a guys POV broad shoulders are sexy af its natural for girls to not want them because almost all models are super slim and petite, the reality of what is attractive is very different from what the media wants us to think
Models are typically tall and broader shouldered tho, no?
@@thatlthatjiminhandedeverya1018 yeah they are tbh.. but they’re super tall and skinny so they come across as lean!!
I've heard guys say that too. So I used to not care for my somewhat broad shoulders, but now I do like them. 😊
@@thatlthatjiminhandedeverya1018 i mean ratio wise yeah there shoulders look broad. but they are super slim at the waist which gives them that look, IDK lol jus my POV
💛✊🏼
Im so glad that I stumbled upon this video. I have the exact same body type as you: my waist is significantly smaller than my hips, but my shoulders are still the widest part of my body. I can feel that this video will help alot! Thank you for making this
I really appreciate the use of very common, simple items. It makes it seem very attainable.
these were super cute tips that don't mean compromising on style and pieces like crop-tops or form fitting clothes that you want to wear and I love that! As someone who has a very athletic build and broad shoulders I'm always looking for ways to wear popular styles without looking weird and these tips deffo work! x
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!
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.
This was so incredibly helpful and made me feel more confident instead of ashamed of my broad shoulders and feeling like I need to hide them all the time. I can’t wait to use these tips!
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.
Britney had them broad shoulders and she was always a baddie soooo❤️
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👌🏻
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
Having broad shoulders is something that I am just starting to become comfortable with. This video helps so much!! Thank you for talking about this topic!
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.
I wish I had known this in my 20s. Thank you! Your style is effortless and major goals for me.
I have broad shoulders, wide hips and a more narrow waist but Im not skinny and only now do I realize why the other tips in styling haven't worked for me. I love how you explained and showed clearly the difference between te styles as well. I can definitely work with this.
Thanks love! Glad you found them helpful 🤍
Sizing up *always* After 5 year of criticism from my mom over this style I got a compliment out of here yesterday about an oversized fit. If my mom can appreciate it, I feel everyone can (: 🧡🧡
This is such an unexplored area for me, but it still hits. I love this advice. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I don't have particularly wide shoulders, but because my chest is so small and my arms are so skinny they really accentuate it. I've been insecure about it for so long and always wore t-shirts with dropped shoulders, baggy sweaters, or a form fitting top with baggy outerwear because that's what worked for me. Glad to see there are other options!
This is so helpful! thank you! and I love your voice, it's so calming!!
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
Not even watched it yet but thank you! Trying to look elegant with broad shoulders is a never ending battle when clothes just aren't made for you.
Try everything before buy
Finally! My people ❣️ I mostly like the suggestions. Giving me more variety in my style. Sometimes I accentuate and sometimes I don’t. I just enjoy this video giving me more style options
I really like how you explain how to style broad shoulder body type because I can really see the differences and make me understand what clothes more flattering to this kind of body type. Great Video!
I have broad shoulders and always look for ways to hide them. Thank you for helping me understand different styles that work!
