I have broad shoulders and honestly they make feel uncomfortable and that everyone is always staring at them. If anyone could suggest types of clothes and styles to help that would be great. By the way I'm about 5'1 so I'm pretty short but I'm pretty fit. Here is a picture so you can have an idea.

I don't know if this is actual truth but I have broad shoulders too (called lineman by family good thing I can take a joke) and I feel it makes my head look so tiny but I feel giving my hair some volume by kinda teasing it it balances out my shoulder head ratio lol if that makes sense. but I havent quite figure out how to balance my shoulders to my non existent hips. I stay away from cap sleeve ANYTHING too. I feel like any ideas (that you have heard) for gals with hips they wanna hide and appear smaller gals with broad shoulders could transfer up. hope I was of some help meh.

I have really broad shoulders too and sometimes it makes me feel like my head is tiny but in reality no one is actually looking at my shoulders.

I have broad shoulders too. I don't really pay much attention to them and just wear what I want. I do know that cap sleeves emphasize them.

Asymmetrical tops, off shoulder, one shoulder etc.help. The trick is to draw the eye away from point to point horizontally. So, diagonal stripes are your friend.
Hair pinned to one side and draping over your shoulder also creates the illusion. V-neck tops, wrap across, anything that draw attention to the centre of your body :)
Don't wear strapless clothing as you are cutting urself across, that's what your like to avoid.
I think your Gorgeous and with time you'll learn what does and doesn't work. Embrace it, I can guarantee Noone is paying as much attention to it as you do :) x

I'm sure at some point I've encountered a broad-shouldered woman, but I have honestly never in my life thought "man, that girl's shoulders are way too wide." I guarantee no one else (other than family members who like to tease) are taking any note of them either. You're beautiful, don't tell yourself otherwise because of some imaginary flaw!
