You may like to minimize the size of your hips by using detail at the shoulders to balance.

Try:

Puffed sleeves on tops

Gathered/ruched sleeves on tops

Fluted/flared sleeves that end just below your bust

Shoulder details - from epaulets to sequined shoulders, these details rock on your body.

Wide necklines also flatter as they draw a line out and up. Try boat necks, sweetheart necks, large cowls and wide v-necks.

Avoid tops that have narrow v-necks, dolman sleeves, raglan sleeves and heavily gathered necklines, which can all reduce the width of your shoulders.
