You know that shrugs are back in style when your 20-something pilates instructor is wearing one while teaching pilates class Matty Montana Torture Enduring Freedom 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.

Great for layering!
I usually get an extra large but for these extra large means extra large! For an average man you would want to just order a large. But these are great layering shirts perfect for the winter and fall.
Thomas Glidden –
Awesome shirts!
These shirts are great. There are many reviews stating that they are not heavyweight but they are much heavier than the regular ones. Also, I would order one size larger than normal because they do shrink in the wash. I purchased the white and they are very bright and not faded at all and unlike many T-shirt’s, they are not too narrow but just the right width. Definitely worth purchasing.
