Breasts come in many different shapes and knowing your breast shape is probably one of the most important factors in determining what bras will work for you.
The reason being is because bras in your size will come in many different styles and shapes, but they won’t all necessarily work for you. They may not give you the desired look or support your breasts the way you want them to.
So let’s talk about some of the different breast shapes and what styles of bras are ideal for each shape.
Round
Round breasts tend to have more evenly distributed weight from the top to the bottom. You have the option for multiple styles, like a t-shirt bra or balconette style.
Asymmetrical
Most women have asymmetrical breasts to a certain degree. A bra with molded cups or a t-shirt bra will help create the illusion of more even breasts as their pads tend to help shape your breasts. If your unevenness is more noticeable bras with removable pads may help.
Spaced Out
If you have wide set breasts, you’ll notice that there is more space between your breasts. A plunging bra or push up bra can help gently squeeze your breasts closer to the middle.
Breast Shapes for Women
Close Set
This means your breasts are closer together towards the middle of your torso. You’ll want to search for a bra with a lower center gore to ensure your breasts don’t get cut off in the middle.
Shallow
Shallow breasts are breasts where their weight is more evenly distributed on your body. Balconette bras can be cute as you don’t have to worry about any spillage over the top of the cups. Push up bras can also help pull the weight up if you want some nice cleavage.
Narrow Top, Round Bottom
This means your breasts have less weight at the top, and tend to be heavier at the bottom. A demi cup bra or balconette bra, or even a push up bra, can help bring the weight up, creating a more rounded look.
Heavy at The Sides
This is what it sounds like; the weight of your breasts tend to fall to the sides, towards your armpits. A structured bra, like a padded bra, can help you bring the weight of your breasts towards the center.
There’s no wrong or right type of breast shape, and while millions of women share common types of breasts our bodies are all unique; and that’s perfectly OK!
