Discover which kinds of clothing flatter ample chests. Hint: definitely not the turtleneck.

Embrace your ample chest

First things first: the bra. Are you sure you have the suitable type and the correct measurements? According to the undergarment e-shop Lemoncurve.com, 70-80% of women do not wear the right bra size. If you feel your breasts are too compressed, the straps dig into your shoulders, or there is a gaping space between the bra and your chest, it’s not a good sign. Bras that are too loose cause the breasts to sag as you age, while ones that are too tight might cause unsightly bulges. An appointment with the consultant at the lingerie shop should give you the key to well-maintained breasts.

Secondly, the top you wear plays a huge role. A turtleneck or crew neck does not flatter an ample bosom. It’s better to show a little skin with a boat neck or square for a more balanced appearance. Intricate necklines, round or V-shaped are best reserved for smaller chests.
