Broad Shoulders Over 60? French Women Only Own These 5 Necklines

Broad shoulders over 60 are usually not a width problem at all — and that is why almost every neckline rule you have been given does not work. French women over sixty own five necklines, and all five answer a different question from the one the styling guides are asking.

This video looks at what actually changes in the upper body after sixty: age-related hyperkyphosis, scapular protraction, and the way a shoulder line rotates forward rather than growing wider. Then it walks through the five necklines that answer that rotation — the bateau, the shallow V, the open shirt collar, the narrow scoop, and the soft funnel neck — and explains the single principle that connects them.

Along the way: why the deep V is the most over-recommended neckline in print, why the bateau survives every rule that forbids it, where the French Navy comes into it, and the one measurement that tells you whether a scoop is cut narrow or wide. Plus a note on necklace length that follows the same logic.
