In the warmer months, both men and women bare their shoulders. And if, in preparation for this period, they begin to actively lose weight, perform exercises for the legs and arms, then for some reason they rarely think about this part of the body. What should a man do if he has sloping shoulders by nature? Many people consider this feature of the figure a drawback.
Sloping shoulders - the impression of fragility
So, more details. To say which shoulders are beautiful is actually impossible. Everyone has their own ideas about beauty. Some people like wide and straight, and others like narrow and sloping shoulders. In a word, as they say, "to taste and color." But the most important thing is the general harmony.
Narrow sloping shoulders to date, the ideal of a woman still does not match. The fashion image of an energetic, active, athletic personality. Well, thanks to the sloping shoulders, the impression is created that their owner is not only a fragile woman, but even limp. In addition, this feature violates the proportions of the figure, and therefore requires correction. So what to do?
Expand visually
Sloping shoulders are not really a particular problem. They can be expanded visually with the correct cut, texture and coloring of the material, special details of the design of clothes. Designers recommend the use of wide collars, set-in sleeves, coquette, neck with a horizontal neckline, shoulder pads.
Horizontal lines create the illusion of width. Therefore, the bands in the shoulder region of the material can also visually expand them. Today, many designers use a fashionable technique called "color blocks" - colored, horizontally oriented stripes.
Cutouts and collars
Now about the most common methods of visual correction of the figure. In any fashion magazine, you can see and understand how to hide the sloping shoulders. Photos indicate the use of coquette, special cutouts and collars.
So, in knitted products for "shoulder expansion" use coquette, highlighted in light shades and a convex pattern. Wide cutouts of a "square" or "boat", complemented by sleeves with an assembly at the okat, wings or lanterns, will be an excellent option. The silhouette of the figure is noticeably balanced. But this is only for thin women. Lush ladies should not get carried away with assemblies in the shoulder area. It is enough set-in sleeves in combination with a wide neckline. You can also combine color materials. Light or with a contrasting pattern - at the top of the product. Dark monophonic material - in the bottom.
The volume of shoulders is also well increased by wide collars. In summer clothes - frill collars, in winter - fur collars. These also include removable accessories and boas. In a word, looking fashionable and harmonious is not so difficult.
Even swimwear!
Even on the beach you can "widen" the sloping shoulders. Photos from women with rest are always available in sufficient quantities. So, ladies with sloping shoulders should have special models of swimwear in which the necessary details are clearly visible. For example, in the upper part of the straps should be located as wide as possible. The combination of fabrics in color - as in other elements of the wardrobe. That is, light and color top, plain and dark bottom.
A great option is to use a tankini. Such a swimsuit consists of shorts and a topic with wide straps. This significantly increases the chances of success in visual expansion of the shoulders.

For men, the "lifesaver" will be business jackets or sports jackets that allow you to visually increase the chest and shoulders. To achieve the same goal wide lapels are perfect. Women prefer large men who act as real defenders.
Looking at the photos of women's clothing, we can say that ladies have more variations. As a rule, they use voluminous sleeves (assembly at the back, wings, flashlights, puffs), epaulets, large collars, shoulder pads. The shoulder pads really straighten the shoulder line, their shoulder straps raise them. Volumetric sleeves are back in fashion. In general, choose what you like best! A great way to raise the shoulder line to slim girls and at the same time look very stylish is to wear a bolero with puffs or lanterns.
But what you should give up is:
- from open clothes without sleeves;
- raglan and bat-type sleeves;
- kimono;
- clothes with a flat armhole;
- shawls;
- models with V-shaped cuts that the shoulders do not expand, but, on the contrary, narrow.
Do not forget to try to keep your back and head straight, slightly raising your chin. And the rest, correctly selected clothes will help you.
Summary
So, if nature has awarded you sloping shoulders, do not despair. You can always hide this small flaw if desired. However, for a woman this is less important than for a man. Many, on the contrary, consider sloping shoulders the dignity of a female figure. Hide them or be proud of them - it's up to you. Do not forget that everyone has his own standards of beauty. Moreover, it all depends on your figure in general. Perhaps the constitution of your body is in harmony with the sloping shoulders. Do not rush to hide this feature of yours if it really does not spoil you at all, and maybe even decorates you.
