One small construction detail can completely change the way a top looks on the body: the shoulder seam. A seam at the natural shoulder creates a cleaner, more defined outline, while an extended or dropped shoulder adds visual width and creates a more relaxed silhouette. Sleeve volume can amplify that effect even further. When comparing tops, knits and jackets, look beyond the size on the tag and pay attention to where the shoulder seam actually lands. I’ve linked pieces that make it easy to compare different shoulder shapes and silhouettes. LTKStyleTip StyleOver40 FashionOver40 ProportionDressing WardrobeTips LTKOver40
