Wear Stretch Fit Shirts
Worries about hulking out in cotton shirts? Button-down shirt makers have taken a cue from gym wear and started making many of their shirts with stretch.The added spandex or elastane in shirts often helps with that fit across the shoulders and in the arms with a bit more give for ease of movement.
Try Athletic Cut Shirts
Athletic fit shirts are cut specifically for men with more athletic builds, meaning more room in the chest and arms with some tapering toward the waist. This subtle V-cut eliminates the extra fabric found around the waist with shirts that fit in the shoulders but not in the torso.
Balance your Shoulders with Straight Leg Pants and Untucked Shirts
If you’re looking to minimize broad shoulders, balance with a pant in a straight cut instead of a true slim or skinny fit pant. An untucked shirt is more likely to have a straighter look than a shirt tucked into a waistband that’s narrower than your shoulder width, so wearing your shirt untucked gives you that balance you’re looking for as well.
