Women with big boobs, REJOICE: other large-chested women have finally come together to discuss which outfits actually, officially feel cute.
“Let’s make an updated list,” she wrote, and yes, people came through. So, here are some clothing items that help people feel cute, fashionable, and NOT frumpy.
1.
“I’ve started the tight top-big bottoms theme. It honestly makes me a bit uncomfortable — oh my, people know I have breasts! But it does look much better. I was wearing loose, cropped tees with loose, high-waisted bottoms. The crop helps me have a defined waist, but the loose top does frump me a bit. I’ve been trying cropped tight tees, and it does look more put together.”
2.
“I love A-line dresses or skirts with a properly fitted top. Widening out the bottom keeps the silhouette more balanced, while keeping the top fitted stops me from looking like I’m wearing a poncho. It also adapts super easily into office wear.”
3.
“Alterations. Most things will not fit well off the rack, besides knits. So go to a tailor and get stuff adjusted. Dresses with a belted waist or smocked back can work too.”
4.
“GIRL…I am so excited to share. Recently, I got into micro-pleated tops, which are similar in concept to the 90s popcorn-top style, where they expand with the wearer. BUT today’s style is more classy imo; I’m always on the swivel for brands like Piano and Nicola.”
5.
“A lot of people are saying fitted top and loose bottom, and I agree, but with a caveat: I prefer slightly longer tops and lower rise bottoms to elongate my torso and look a bit slimmer. Definitely try on different bottom rises and top lengths to figure out what is best for your proportions.”
6.
“I wear sports bras or bras that are just very tight in general to hold everything in so my chest looks as clean and tight as possible. Boobs are very squishy and relatively easy to hold down.”
7.
“Like most people here, I do tight top and large bottom, but not always. I’ll do high-waisted short shorts with a crop top. Or crop top with jeans. Crop tops really accentuate the waist and since I’m accessory challenged, it does the work for me. Definitely high-waisted bottoms, regardless of the top. I prefer mini/short skirts because fuck culture making me think my body is too fat when I was skinnier than now, so this is my revenge, really. Either long pants like jeans, paper bag wide legged pants, or wide legged jeans, or mini/short skirts/shorts. I feel any length in between makes me feel frumpy, business casual, or matronly, neither of which is my vibe.”
8.
“Getting property measured and figuring out what bra silhouettes/materials work best for my breasts has made EVERYTHING I wear look better. Best money I’ve spent in years.”
9.
“Wrap dresses and tops, [and] Spanx pull-on jeans/pants (make sure the length and leg style suit you), square/scoop/sweatheart/surplice necklines.”
10.
“No loose or long shirts. I look like a rectangle.”
12.
“Oversized tops are a big ol nope unfortunately. I like fitted, slightly cropped tops balanced with a wider leg bottom.”
13.
“Figure out what necklines work for you! V-necks are king for me, then square and scoop neck. Crew necks are the worst — just make me look like I have boob shelf.”
14.
“A molded, non-padded bra makes all my clothes look instantly better — currently using Panache sports bras. It’s a bit pricey to get a rotation of them, but they keep the silhouette immaculate.”
15.
“I live in wrap or faux-wrap tops and dresses. I do have to wear a safety pin or decorative brooch to keep from exposing boobs or bra.”
16.
“I’m currently dressing like I did when I was 14 to be honest (25 years ago), and I’ve never been happier. Tight-cropped tee, biggest jorts I can find, Dr. Marten boots. Can’t stop, won’t stop. I was so relieved to see baggy pants make a comeback, you’ll have to pry them from my cold, dead hands this time. Seriously though, that volume in the lower half makes me feel very balanced, visually.”
18.
“I don’t like emphasizing my chest most of the time, but I’m not trying to live in a tent, either. Button up blouses with safety pins to stop them from gapping, and either tucked in or tied in the front.”
19.
“My easy go-to is dresses and tops with shirring. A shirred sundress or peplum top is very flattering and doesn’t show cleavage.”
