You know that shrugs are back in style when your 20-something pilates instructor is wearing one while teaching pilates class All Star MVP Awards 2024 Ted Williams Red Sox T-shirt (as happened to me this past couple of weeks – Mandy loves her shrug!). I’ve always been a fan of them as they can be so handy when you need an extra layer of warmth. Shrugs, wraps, and pashminas are versatile accessories that can effortlessly elevate your outfit while offering warmth and style. However, finding the right ones for your body type is key to creating a balanced and flattering look. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you choose the perfect shrugs, wraps, and pashminas for your body shape. Opt for cropped or short-length shrugs with curved rather than square hems, that fall above the waist to create the illusion of a defined waistline. This can be a flattering look on every body shape. A square hem shrug can work if the hem is at your narrowest point or if you have a defined waist (A and X shapes) for other body shapes, you’ll probably find curved hems are always more flattering. Avoid oversized or bulky shrugs that can overwhelm your frame and add unnecessary bulk to your midsection. Experiment with asymmetrical cuts or open-front styles to draw the eye vertically and create the illusion of length rather than cutting your body up into shorter horizontal pieces. Think about balancing your body – if you have a defined waist, you can end your shrugs at this point, but if your narrowest point is just under your bust, it’s best to wear a slightly shorter shrug. But if you’re V shape, then you may find longer ones suit you better, look for longer openings that create vertical lines through your body. Go for longer wraps that drape elegantly over your shoulders and extend below the waist to add vertical lines to your torso which will slim it down. Choose lightweight fabrics that provide coverage without adding unnecessary bulk to your midsection. Opt for wrap styles with v-necklines or lapels that create the illusion of a more defined waist and draw attention away from the midsection. Steer clear of overly bulky or chunky wraps that can overpower your frame and disrupt the overall balance of your outfit. It you’re petite, make sure that your wraps are not too voluminous as they will overwhelm you. A longer wrap in a busy pattern can be distracting and flatter your body if you have an O or H shape as you won’t notice the lack of waist.

Do you naturally want to play it safe? It feels comfortable? All Star MVP Awards 2024 Ted Williams Red Sox T-shirt or Do you feel that playing it safe is too boring and almost like a straight jacket for you? If you are someone who likes to have a more safe style, when you copy someone else’s more flamboyant style (thinking that that’s how to be stylish) it can make you feel ungrounded and inauthentic. Then there are others who have gone to extremes such as quitting jobs because of the dress code being too strict for them, making them feel boxed in, stifled, and unable to express themselves and bring their best self to work (and I know that I’m more this way than the other, as I remember a time in one of my early jobs where management talked about bringing in a uniform and I remember thinking to myself “I’ll be quitting then” as even the thought of wearing a uniform makes me break out into hives). I’ve noticed that some of my clients want a set of style rules they can follow, that they don’t want to vary from. This makes them feel safe. Other clients, will want more of a self-imposed set of loose guidelines (please don’t talk ‘rules’ to them) that they will use as a handrail (rules feel like handcuffs to them). When I’m playing it safe, I’m usually in an overly analytical space where I’m thinking too much about what my outfit is communicating, whether it’s giving me the credibility I crave, making me look like the expert I am and that I’m living up to my “image consultant” brand. This relates to my psychological type (INTJ) as getting out of my head and an outfit into the world can sometimes be a sticking point for me. For Jill, who has a very different psychological type to me (ESFJ), for her, playing it safe means that she’s being lazy, not pushing herself to put on a stylish outfit, just getting dressed without really thinking. When she’s feeling down she doesn’t pay attention to the details in the way she would when she’s feeling more buoyant. For Jill, her Sensing function (introverted Sensing to be precise) gives her stability to have continuity in her style, which almost has a uniform aspect (though it won’t look like a traditional uniform). Relying on tried, trusted combinations give them a feeling of stability that motivates her style upward. Jill says that her ability to use the detailed information from her past dressing experiences helps her create new stylish combinations that have a theme (leopard print, being one of them for Jill as it’s her Signature pattern) that is easily observed by others. Jill loves to find herself a formula and repeat it in different ways, such as changing up colours, in which garment the leopard print appears and of course different accessories.

Good stuff..!!
Good product. First thing I did aS to wash the t-shirts in lightly soaped medium cool washer. Then they were dried in medium cool dryer. Still felt good but a tad softening of the material. Worth the cost. Order a size larger but wash and dry before first wear.

Nice thick t-shirts
I bought these hoping they will keep their shape. My old t-shirts have gotten ‘bacon neck’. The necks are all stretched out. I hope these hold up well. I have worn and washed a couple of times so far and they feel and look good.

This is why you buy
Purchased August 2020, ‘heavy cotton’ 100% cotton, color ordered and received is pure white, made in Nicaragua, with no odor when new. Fabric is thick enough to be opaque and not so small to be form fitting (I am pretty wide), suitable for wear as a shirt as well as an undergarment. My XL was really an XL-long which means it has a long trunk section that will not come un-tucked (plumbers crack for instance) but not so long it looks odd if you wear it un-tucked. Double stitching at seams with an arm length slightly above the elbow. This is ideal for applying company logos, or tie dye. Perfect for a full figured male (or female) or a thin person who doesn’t want a clingy fit. Completely satisfied.
