Summer Tops for Narrow Shoulders

| Permalink
Q.  Summer is almost here, and I need help. I have narrow, sloping shoulders and want to look good in summery tops that are affordable. When I wear halter tops, my shoulders look small, and my hips look big. What style of tops would look best on me?
-Narrow Shoulders


A.  There are a couple of tricks to widening the look of your shoulders and creating a balance with your lower body. Look for tops with diagonal lines, stripes, or ribbing that angle toward the outer part of the shoulders; this makes narrow, sloping shoulders look wider. Also, boatnecks, deep V-necks, and other wide necklines help broaden the shoulders. Check out these tops that will flatter your figure and help you achieve that wider-shoulder look--all are under $30!
