What is Drop Shoulder?

Dropped shoulder seams are a design feature where the shoulder seams of a garment are positioned lower than the natural shoulder line. This creates a relaxed and oversized look, as the excess fabric in the shoulder area gives the garment a slouchy, casual feel.

Dropped shoulder seams work by allowing more room for movement and comfort, as the sleeves of the garment are not attached at the highest point of the shoulder. This can be particularly beneficial for garments that require a lot of arm movement, such as T-shirts.

In terms of styling, dropped shoulder seams can be incorporated into a variety of garments, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, and dresses. They work well with a range of fabrics, from lightweight cotton to heavier wool blends. When wearing a garment with dropped shoulder seams, it is important to keep the rest of the outfit relatively streamlined, so as not to overwhelm the oversized proportions of the top. This could mean pairing a slouchy sweater with skinny jeans or leggings or teaming an oversized t-shirt with slim-cut shorts.  From hoodies to oversized graphic tees, and are a great way to add a relaxed, effortless feel to any outfit
