Broad shoulders are universally attractive for women, especially coupled with a narrow waist. So why don't you add some padding on your delts?
CLAIM: It looks fake
TRUTH: Nope
This is true for shirts that are padded all over. But for shirts that only have SOME PADDING at the delts, it's not the case
CLAIM: Won't get broad enough shoulders
TRUTH: Yeah, and so what?!
They give less than half an inch of extra shoulder width, the rest you'll have to get at the gym.
CLAIM: The seams will show!
TRUTH: You're supposed to wear this UNDERNEATH a shirt.
Quote about another shirt than the one referenced in this post:
The padded shirt is subtle because it's underneath a shirt. That said this is the "muscles all over version" of the padded shirt, so the shoulder padding only looks even subtler.
Your forearms aren't meant to show, you're meant to have a long shirt over all this, like in the picture above. You're supposed to wear this if you're already somewhat lean and muscular. Many who've lifted for years don't have 1.6 shoulder to waist ratio, calculate yours here.
In the other thread I wrote this padded shoulder shirt gets 4.0/5 stars on Amazon (NOT affiliate link), and that's wrong that score is the combined score for four different shirts, one shirts with a lot of padding (likely scoring worse), some with only compression and no padding, and the shirt above which has only shoulder padding. On the website of the producers the one with only padding on the shoulders gets 4.9/5 stars (likely artificially high score, I guess the company deletes bad reviews), which is a higher score than the three other said shirts get on their own website, and the three other shirts are in the merged 4.0/5 amazon score.

It'll be so obvious they're fake when the rest of your body doesn't look as chiseled or swole (comment was made about another product)
