How tuxedo jackets hide my monstrous shoulders (and can do the same for you!)
Here's something: I have the shoulders of a linebacker. This is one of those issues (along with my rather large ribcage) that fashion writers rarely address when they talk about "dressing for your shape," but both exist for me, and they're definitely something I have to dress around. My personal solution has been to avoid button-downs at all costs, wear vests with pride, go for scoopneck shirts, and choose blazers that you don't have to close. Here is where tuxedo jackets come in—the women's styles are usually narrow and fitted, and they look great worn open. So, when paired with wide leg jeans or A-line minidresses, everything appears sleek and balanced, like a well-proportioned female, not a collegiate rower. Here are some styles I'm eyeing today: A great deal from Theory, Vivienne Westwood's offbeat take, and a truly perfect vintage find. So tell me: What are you dressing around?
