what kind of dresses should i wear»?

[InsideOutElle]

@dianafeiteira Hello! I like dresses that have v-necks/deep scoops and flare around the bottom/have a fuller skirt (or brighter bottom & black on top). The Limited is having a great sale and their Printed Skirt Shirt Dress & Cap Sleeve Sheath dress look pretty good on me (I think so anyway xD). I normally avoid cap sleeves but the Vneck on the latter dress was perfect~ It's funny b/c I am in a huge one-piece dress kick right now so it was especially cool to your question pop up ^_^

Okay I need help because Im a dude, and I have huge shoulders, and yet Im in shape, but everything I wear seems to make me look like a box. I have researched online, as I have lost weight, and now that my stomach is flat and toned, I don't want to keep looking like a box, but online it seems to cater to women. So any tips? I know about Vnecks, and tailoring, but what about for us guys in need of fashion help??/ Hellp? I don't necassarily want to hide my shoulders, I just want symmetry!

@Davylp You could work with colors - maybe try wearing darker tops and lighter wash jeans. You could try wider pant legs as well, though you probably don't want to go TOO baggy. If you have problems looking like a box you might try wearing more form fitting tops, especially if you have muscles. Tighter tops may give a little more "curve" to your natural waistline. Honestly, this is a little out of my realm of experience & seriously, I've never heard a girl say a guy is "too boxy" ^_~
