Wear necklines that create narrow shoulders illusion.
Go for V-neck, plunging V-neck, scoop, halter, wide straps or gathered neckline evening dresses or top. If you want to wear one shoulder top or dress, go for one that has diagonal pleating. The diagonal lines will help distract the observer’s eyes and also soften the shoulders area.
Absolute no to bateau, off-the-shoulders, spaghetti straps, square and strapless necklines. These necklines will only broaden your shoulders.
Dark colour like black is known to make you look smaller because it has the slimming effect. When you wear dark tops, you’re making your upper body smaller and with light bottom, you’re making your lower body ‘heavier’ hence it helps to balance out your proportion. Don’t just stick with black, you can go for dark brown, dark purple, dark navy or dark grey for example.
