Dropped shoulders or right on the shoulder - what's your opinion? I really dislike dropped shoulder seams because most times I can feel the seams on my arms and they're annoying. Seems like everybody is doing dropped nowadays.

I like the dropped shoulder look and think that it looks good on me.  I guess it depends on our body shape.

I don't care for the look as it looks like you've either intoxicated or your clothes have been pulled off you .

Both Jen Coffey & Kirsten had the drop shoulder on to demonstrate  body products , guess exposing one's arm was not enough  exposed skin.

@skatting44 That was so funny!  "intoxicated".   I am not a fan of drop shoulders and I still have pretty shoulders, I think.......anyway it's a style I never liked as I would feel as though I was in a straight jacket!

Yeah, don't like the look, don't like the feel of the seams. When did designers think this look was something to pursue? Been around for a few years and now they're everywhere. It's a look that I think just makes the shirt, blouse, sweater look really sloppy.

I don't mind dropped shoulder seams as a fashion look, just not on me.  I have narrow shoulders and this makes them look even narrower.  

Seams right at the shoulders work best, add a few pleats or shirring at the top of the sleeve cap and I am very happy.  Keep it subtle though....

I like and wear both.

I like dropped shoulders sometimes...if not too dropped. I have quite broud shoulders and it seems to define them less.

Don't remember what it's called but when the arm holes hang down almost to the waist and leaves a lot of fabric...those are a NO. I get lost in all that.

I like dropped shoulders because my shoulders are broad and the dropped shoulders helps diminish their size.

Right on the shoulders fit me better. Dropped shoulders make it seem as if the outfit is two sizes too big for me.
