Tips for Dressing your Broad Shoulders

We’ve been spending the past few weeks talking about the best ways to dress different body types.  We want to make sure you get the right dress from Dress Prom, so we’re going to be giving some advice to girls with broad shoulders today.  We know how difficult it can be to find the right neckline when you have broad shoulders.  Rest assured, we’ll help you find the right prom dress for any silhouette.

Ladies with broad shoulders should note that the collar and neckline of your dress will directly affect the visual impression of your shoulders.  A plunging (but not too plunging!) V-neck is the best choice for girls with broad shoulders.  A deep V-neck extends your neckline downward, and that actually creates the illusion of a narrower shoulder.

If you’re not comfortable with a V-neck, a scooping neckline can achieve a similar result.  A scooping neckline on your prom dress can help to shrink your shoulder.  By showing more of your neckline, you can make it look longer.  When your neck looks longer, your shoulders look narrower.

Darker colors work best with broad shoulders.  Don’t worry, black isn’t your only option!  You can choose purple, blue, and other darker hues, as well.

Look through our selection of prom dresses, and you’re sure to find the one that’s best for you and your shoulders!
