Off the shoulder dresses with broad shoulders, yes or no?

As the title says. Have broad/square shoulders, could I get away with off the shoulder dress or will it expose my shoulders too much?

Are you tall? I always think off the shoulder looks better with strong, broad shoulders. Like a Greek goddess.

Personally I think it depends if you have big boobs too . If yes you can find the added boobage will add to your upper width. If boobs aren't a problem then yes it will be lovely.

I have broad shoulders and it's one of my favourite necklines

I have broad shoulders and always thing off shoulder anything makes them look ever broader, so for me it's a no.

I think if you feel good in something you should wear it. I'm tall, 5"8 and probably have quite "broad" shoulders but I love off the shoulder styles coz i like my décolletage/collarbones. I think they can be really flattering.

Too vague a question. Broad shoulders but super skinny everywhere else might look out of proportion. Broad shoulders on a tall, curvy woman - probably fab. All of the above plus the consideration of the rest of the style. Would depend again, on the figure of the woman wearing the dress.

I think off the shoulder suits broad shoulders so long as they aren't sloping. Sloping shoulders are not a great look
