Okay, here's the deal: I'm not quite a bad-looking fella, but i have one slight problem: i'm not precisely big, nor broad-shouldered. I know the ideal concept of men beauty is wide shoulders, small waist (in wide terms).

So what i'm asking is, what look/shirts/jackets/whatever gives the impression of wider shoulders?

I'll post pics if necessary.

Suits, for Christ's Sake. You can always spot a really cheap suit when the shoulder areas look like the guy has full football wear on underneath.

Go buy clothes from thrift shops from the 80's that have shoulder pads and either wear them or cannibalise the shoulder pads and sew them into your own jackets/suits. You don't really have much of an option with t shirts or anything like than. Just wear shit that fits well. Nothing worse than a slim bloke in a big baggy t shirt looking like some tweaker wigger.

Tight t-shirts where the shoulder seams are very close to the neck.

Lift some weights you scrawny pussy!

Really though get some tshirts with a logo that covers the area from one shoulder, across the chest/back and to the other shoulder. I know this sounds stupid, but there were some studies about it and it does make you appear bigger.

There are even some clothing companies that specialize in making cloth like this. I will try to search for some names, but i promise nothing.

How is having small shoulders a 'weakness'?

Don't wear tight tshirts and the problem takes care of itself.

Good point. My intention was to convey "perceived weakness"

I called you that because that's what you look like.

Now shut the fuck up and stop dreaming.

You need to get in touch with your feminine side, your bravado isnt fooling anyone.

Just because you're not wearing the XS anymore doesn't mean you should move into the XL. Find a happy medium.
