Buying a bra is far from a trivial choice. Because, beyond the only aesthetic consideration, it is also essential to turn to models perfectly adapted to your size and your morphology, which will provide you with the support and comfort you need. Indeed, an ill-fitting bra can also be synonymous with back pain or various discomforts on a daily basis.
Know, ladies, that there are bras for all types of breasts and all shapes of breasts, whether small, large, round, or droopy. So, how to choose the most suitable lingerie for your morphology ? Faced with the variety of existing models, here are some tips to help you find your way around.
It's very simple, to choose the most suitable bra for the shape of your chest , it is essential to know your measurements with accuracy. It may seem obvious, of course. But we insist on this point because many of you always opt for the same models – by taste or by habit – without really knowing the shapes likely to sublimate your breasts or, worse, without having a precise idea of your bra size. . So, to avoid missteps and always choose the most suitable shape, be sure to measure your bust circumference (just below the breasts) and your chest circumference with precision.
If each breast has something unique, we can nevertheless distinguish three main categories of breasts among the most common forms in the female population. Thus, in addition to the classic distinction between "small" and "big" breasts, we find round breasts (or apple-shaped), the breasts a little drop (or pear-shaped), but also the spread breasts (or in the shape of a tangerine).
Apple breasts stand out for their firmness and their natural outfit. Very round, on the top as on the bottom, they have a particularly aesthetic rounded appearance and are held very well in place. The pear breasts , for their part, are more bulging on the underside than on the top, which offers a slightly more hollow appearance. With age, or after pregnancy, pear breasts tend to take on a slightly more droopy appearance. Finally, the tangerine breasts are small and wide apart between them, giving the neckline a flared look.
The best bra must meet both an aesthetic need , but also to a need to maintain and comfort . In other words, it must perfectly support your chest while nicely highlighting your neckline. And this, whatever the size or shape of your chest. Here's how to choose it.
Do you have a rather small chest? So you're lucky enough to be able to afford a wide variety of bras. If the goal is to give volume to your neckline, then opt for a push-up, balconette, or basket bra; so many shapes that will enhance – and sublimate – the natural curve of your breasts. Your chest will instantly look more rounded, bulging, and imposing. If, on the other hand, you are quite comfortable with your small chest , do not hesitate to wear a bandeau type bra or triangle , without shell or frame, which have the particularity of being discreet, natural and deliciously seductive. You can even afford the no bra trend from time to time to let your chest breathe!
If you have a large chest - beyond the C cup -, the role of the bra is all the more essential, insofar as it will hold your breasts in place without compressing them, will nicely highlight your cleavage, and will avoid related back pain to the weight of the chest. For example, you can opt for a fitting bra with underwire, which hugs and envelops the contours of the chest without compressing it and provides an incomparable level of comfort. In some cases, it may also be necessary to "erase" a neckline that is a little too voluminous. To do this, opt for a minimizing bra , designed to perfectly encompass your chest and slightly reduce the impression of volume.
If yourapple chest , You're in luck. Indeed, most shapes of bras will look great on you . So you can afford a lot, take advantage of it. Among the most interesting, half cup, triangle and bandeau bras, with or without underwire (depending on the size of your breasts), will amplify your neckline while ensuring a perfectly natural look.
To enhance your pear chest , choose a demi or balconette bra which will help you give this rounded effect on the top of the breast, in addition to offering impeccable support. If you want to go further and further accentuate the volume of your chest, the push-up is an ideal option. On the other hand, avoid bandeau or triangle shapes, which do not offer enough support for your pear chest.
In the case of a tangerine chest , with the breasts slightly apart, the triangle bras (with shell and without underwire) are excellent, since they make it possible to magnify the natural shape of the neckline while erasing the "flared" effect . Again, if the intention is to give a more voluminous appearance to the chest by bringing the two breasts closer together, the push-up will also work wonders, for a sexy cleavage to perfection.
