Having a larger bust can sometimes make outfit selection a bit tricky. You might find yourself wishing you could effortlessly wear slip dresses like your smaller-chested pals, or find comfort in lace bralettes without the need for underwire.
Picking out an outfit for any occasion becomes a little more difficult when you have to deal with cleavage, gaping shirts, dresses that don’t fit both your top and bottom, and, let’s face it, boobs that fluctuate in size. Getting dressed can quickly become the most dreaded part of your day. But this does not have to be the case!
With a few new outfit ideas, you can feel inspired when getting ready in the morning rather than frustrated because nothing fits properly. There are plenty of options out there that will help you feel confident and comfortable, no matter what your body shape is.
For example, consider trying out wrap dresses or tops that cinch at the waist. These styles help to accentuate your curves while still providing ample coverage for your bust. You can also experiment with high-waisted pants or skirts, which create a flattering silhouette and draw attention away from your chest.
Ahead, read on for outfit inspiration right from the social media feeds of stylish women with fuller busts.
Silky Dresses
If you’re seeking a dress that gracefully contours your body without constricting it, opt for a satin or silky dress, complete with a matching belt to highlight your silhouette.
Try corsets
A quick way to give your outfit a cool and seductive vibe is by wearing a corset. If you prefer to be a little more modest, wear your corsets with denim jackets in the spring and summer and blazers in the fall.
V-neck blouses
V-neck tops work particularly well for women with fuller busts and are universally flattering. It has a subtle sexiness to it and prevents a large bust from appearing solid or shelf-like (you want to avoid the dreaded uni-boob!).
It will draw the gaze downward, detracting from your bust region. For large chests, the scoop, square, draped, and cowl neck styles are also ideal. Your torso will appear longer and your bust will appear smaller if you let some skin show around the neck area.
Bonus Tip: You can also create a v-neck with your button-down shirt by unbuttoning a few of the buttons! The key is to avoid flashing excessive cleavage. V-necks work wonders for fuller busts. They draw the eye downward, creating a vertical line that elongates your frame and offers a slimming effect. Opt for deeper V-necks for a more pronounced effect.
Try Camis
To reduce exposure, wear a cami underneath a deeper v-neck. A camisole will give you a little bit more modesty if a shirt is too low-cut. Find one with adjustable straps so you can decide exactly how much cleavage you want to show or not.
Put on wrap-style tops
A wrap-style blouse is at the top of the list of designs that will be more aesthetically pleasing on women with fuller busts! The fabric overlaps to form a flattering v-neckline that directs attention away from the bust and toward the waist and downward. In addition, this top has a slight peplum that can help cover a muffin top and a cinched waist that gives the appearance of a smaller waist just below the bustline.
In addition, wrap dresses provide the same advantages for a larger chest. A curvy girl’s best friend… The adjustable nature of the wrap allows you to cinch it at your natural waist, creating a balanced and flattering silhouette.
Maxi Dresses
Maxi dresses create a long, lean line from bust to floor, making them a great option for fuller busts. Opt for styles with adjustable straps for a better fit. You could always wear a pretty camisole top underneath if you don’t want your bust to be visible.
Bodycon outfits
Wear tops and dresses that cling in a flattering way or skim over your breasts to highlight your figure. You won’t see through anything, not even under tees, bodysuits, or extremely fine knits, if you’re wearing a lightly lined seamless bra. When big or saggy breasts are concealed in oversized tops, attempts to compress, diminish, or flatten them will only make them appear bigger and saggier. But in very fitted sweaters, you might want to size up just to look more put together. To reduce volume, avoid wearing white tops and opt for darker hues.
Bandeau Tops
For women with fuller busts, the key to rocking a bandeau top lies in choosing the right fit and style.
Look for bandeau tops that offer ample support. Opt for styles with built-in bras or underwire. These designs provide the necessary support while ensuring comfort. Bandeau tops with thicker bands can also offer more support and can help to create a flattering silhouette.
Pair your bandeau top with high-waisted jeans or a maxi skirt for a chic, casual look. Or, layer it under a blazer for a more polished outfit.
Put on a well-fitted jacket
A well-fitted blazer can be a game-changer for women with fuller busts. It accentuates your waistline and adds a layer of sophistication to your outfit. Structured blazers create a sculpted, firm appearance on soft bodies and full breasts. It’s one of the causes of the recent explosion in pantsuit sales. Excess curves are immediately firmed up by the jacket’s straight lines and sharp V. To avoid a boxy appearance, choose a style that buttons directly below the bust and is nipped at the waist.
A blazer still frames your bust and conceals any additional fullness at the sides of your bosom when worn open. If you do decide to unbutton that jacket, keep in mind that a tucked-in top or a slim belt for breast-flattering will help define the waist of the pants
Use full sleeves to flatter, divert, and distract
Sleeves that puff, flare, balloon, or flutter serve a purpose beyond just being fashionable. They are a useful, full-bodied optical ruse that can draw attention away from your bust. The sleeves attract more attention the longer they are. Change to raglan and drop-shoulder tees and sweaters for a more practical everyday look. These styles offer ease through the chest without looking baggy or oversized.
High-Waisted Bottoms
High-waisted skirts or pants paired with a tucked-in top can balance out your proportions. This style highlights your waist and elongates your legs, creating a balanced silhouette.
Layer up
For extra warmth, layer up with a stylish structured blazer for work or a printed shrug for casual days. They are fashionable, extremely smart, and will make a great impression while subtly drawing attention away from your bust.
Turtleneck
Want to highlight your curves while maintaining a modest look? Opt for turtleneck bodysuits. They offer a smooth and secure fit, preventing the untucking issue that occurs with regular tops, particularly for those with a larger bust.
Embrace the sleeveless look
Choose sleeveless tops with slightly wider straps. When worn with a form-fitting camisole in particular, thin, spaghetti-style straps enlarge the bust. Your chest’s width is balanced out by the wider straps.
Oversized outfits
If you prefer your bust not to be the center of attention, choose tops a size or two bigger. This creates a comfy, casual vibe! If you find the waist too loose, consider getting it tailored, but keep the extra space in the bust area, or team it with high-waisted pants or a skirt to add more definition to your figure.
With the right outfits, you can dress large busts well, whether you want to show off your cleavage or hide it. Feel free to experiment with different cuts, colors, and fabrics until you find what works best. With a little bit of creativity and a lot of confidence, you can look and feel your best every day.
