Shirts for broad shoulders and narrow waist?

Rookie question here:

I can't find a business casual shirt that fits me well. I'm on a small budget, and I typically wear casual J Crew or Banana Republic shirts to work with chinos or corduroys. I'm 5'11, 175 lbs and have a 32 waist, so I'm relatively slim, but my shoulders are really wide. If I get slim fit shirts in size large, they look okay through the waist, but are tight as hell in the shoulders (and get untucked easily when I reach for anything). If I get a regular fit shirt, they look ridiculously billowy throughout the waist.

Do I need to be getting regular fit shirts and having them tailored? Or do I need to look for some brand that can fit my odd shape well?

Have you considered getting fat?

Get shirts that fit in the shoulders. Take them to a tailor and have darts put in the back.

It's not that expensive to get shirts taken in so the don't billow out.

Are you buying slim fit? Or regular fit? Or Tailored fit?
