Many students shouted at me about shoulder width and asked me what to do. In order to prevent some students with obviously normal standard X-shaped (hourglass-shaped) figure from complaining that their shoulder width is so wide, let's first look at what the standard is called shoulder width and need to be adjusted.
Look at the picture below:
Look at your body in front of the mirror and draw two parallel vertical lines (the blue line in the picture below) from your shoulders. If your crotch is obviously narrower than your shoulders, this is called shoulder width! If your crotch is almost as wide as your shoulders, it is not shoulder width.
First, weaken the shoulder width.
1, large neckline cut:
If only in terms of width, as long as the neckline is not close to the neck, the shoulder width will be reduced, so why emphasize the neckline? Big? And then what? Looking at the picture below, we can see that the small neckline is not visually noticeable, and people will naturally see the width of the outer shoulder.
If it's a big neckline, first of all, visually, your first concern is a large area of exposed skin. Is the area and width of the exposed skin and the left lateral shoulder position of the big neckline ok? Competition? So be sure to pay attention, and then cut it, so as to weaken the shoulder width, in other words, to act as the shoulder width.
In terms of reducing shoulder width, it is also recommended that you choose a large V-neck first, because while reducing shoulder width, you can also stretch the neck line, modify the face shape and reduce the upper body area, and the overall effect is very significant.
Generous neckline is a very popular neckline this year, and its function is the same. A generous collar can expose the skin, which is very conspicuous and can be noticed at a glance. Then the exposed skin width will visually act as your shoulder width, which is really much narrower than the original actual shoulder width.
Besides V-neck and square neck, what else can I do? Get attention? 、? Act as shoulder width? Neckline type can be used as an option to reduce shoulder width. For example, the straight collar and the arc-shaped round collar below emphasize the exposed skin position, and the width of this part that is visually noticed is your shoulder width in the eyes of others.
2. Segmentation contour reduction:
This part focuses on the shape of shoulders in clothes, not the neckline. The neckline mentioned earlier is to attract attention and visually play the role of shoulder width, so making a fuss about the shoulder is to do subtraction directly.
For an intuitive example, Emma is wearing an off-the-shoulder dress below, and you will find that she doesn't feel like a shoulder-width star at all. A small shoulder exposed here is the subtracted part, and the shoulder width we visually see is the remaining part, which is the width I marked with dotted lines.
The last one is also the segmentation of contour, but it is not necessary? Subtraction? In this step, because when two or more diagonal shoulder straps appear on the shoulder, the outline of the shoulder will be cut into irregular parts, which will break the integrity and make it impossible to visually fuse these broken parts together, so the whole wide shoulder will not appear.
Note that it is the diagonal shoulder strap that can cut the shoulder contour into irregular and difficult-to-integrate parts, so that the vertical regular shoulder strap has completely different functions. Think about it, several regular rectangles can be put together with our eyes closed, so that the outlines of several rules put together can be casually connected into a whole or a whole wide shoulder with our eyes.
Second, adjust the gap between shoulders and hips.
1, crotch expansion:
At the beginning of the article, we judged whether the shoulder width is true or not. Judging from the method, we can also know that whether your shoulders are too wide depends not only on the shoulder width, but on the comparison with the crotch. Therefore, if you want the shoulders to look not wide, it is also possible to increase the width of the crotch in addition to directly cutting the shoulders.
Look at Emma's A-line skirt in the picture below. By drawing a curve to compare, we will find that the width of the skirt is much wider than the shoulder, so visually, you really won't feel your shoulder width anymore.
2. Integral H-shaped cover:
The so-called H-shaped cover covers the width gap between the shoulder and the crotch, because the H-shaped cover is straight up and down. H-type coats, like suits and coats, are generally based on shoulder width. On the whole, the shoulders and the crotch are the same width, so there is no problem that the shoulders are too wide.
Third, shift the visual focus.
This varies from person to person. If you feel that your figure has no obvious advantages, you can use the above two methods to modify it, but some young ladies are still remarkable in figure despite their wide shoulders. At this time, you can use the method of shifting the visual focus.
Do we still need Emma? Watson and Christine? For example, if you look at their bodies, you will find that Emma's waist is really thin and enviable, while Stewart's waist is not so obvious, but her thin straight legs are really beautiful.
Then you should also think of a way. If you are like Emma, wear some clothes that emphasize the existence of the waist, so as to shift the visual focus to the waist, and the beauty is right. No one will pay special attention to body defects such as shoulder width.
If you have good legs, you can also wear a short straight skirt as boldly as Christine. A pair of long legs will really add a lot of color to the overall shape. The legs are so beautiful, who cares how wide your shoulders are?
