Necklines That Work

Your neckline is the highest-impact choice for a broader top half, because it sits right where the eye lands first. V-necks and deep scoops open a path straight down the center of your chest.

Now the necklines to skip: boat necks, off-shoulder cuts, and wide horizontal stripes across the chest. Each one stretches a line clear across your widest point and makes the top half read broader. For shape without bulk, choose structured fabrics that hold their form over clingy knits that map every curve.
