Hi, apparently I am wide shouldered, so some stuff doesn't look good on me, can you recommend anything ? Xoxoxo

Not Angie, but being broad shouldered often helps garments hang better! Have you checked out any of the posts on dressing IT (inverted triangle) shapes. You might look through Una's (Alaskagirl) posts, too.

Hi there! Angie has some great tips for dressing if you are an inverted triangle (like me). I spent a lot of time hating my silhouette but have since learned that there are some good things about it. Clothes hang well (think of yourself as a clothes hanger!), and lots of items that shouldn't work on someone of my small stature can be pulled off because of my shoulders. Check out all the posts here!

You might look at these posts of Angie's:

Possibly the opposite of the advice given here:

I have wide shoulders and avoid short sleeves for the most part. Sleeveless or at least an elbow length sleeve look better.

HI Angi, Try a light color short dress (sleeveless) with a black bolero top. Probably you could wear a belt. It looks dressy
