Bra styles to suit your breast shape

 

If you’re anything like us, lingerie shopping is probably up there with cleaning your make-up brushes and organising your wardrobe on the chores-we-like-to-put-off scale. Who would rather struggle with severing bra straps and confusing cup sizes when you can stay at home completely sans bra anyway? That being said, the confidence-boosting feeling of a new well-fitting set takes some beating. Although it may not be a one style fits all situation (oh, how we wish it was), depending on your breast shape, there are probably some styles that work better for you than others. To bring your underwear drawer up to snuff, we’ve broken down the essential bra styles and tips for finding lingerie that feels tailored to you.

Tear drop

 

If your breasts are round but slightly less full on top like tear drops many styles will flatter your shape, so experiment with what you prefer coverage and lift-wise. We love a flattering balcony styles that offer a natural lift and even out the volume without gaping. If you are of a bustier composition, full-cups and wider than average straps and bands will offer extra support for those who like their girls to feel safely stowed away for days on the go.

Petite

With smaller breast sizes, you might not need as much support as a those with bigger busts, but you still want to look like you've got some shape. We suggest collating a varied edit so you have something that works for everything in your wardrobe. Soft cup bralettes have a petite lady covered as far a support goes - not to mention they’re super-pretty. For outfits where you want a bit of assisted ‘umph’, consider a bra with padding on the outer curve.
