Getting your underwear right

It sounds obvious but it's really important to make sure that you are wearing the right size bra, so that you've got support and a flattering shape.

Remember that your underwear provides the foundations for your outerwear and so you need to think about which bra is appropriate for what you are wearing. Stick to smooth bras for wearing underneath fitted or sheer tops. Flesh tones are best for not showing through white or sheer tops.

What shape is right for you?

The key to flattering big boobs is to wear fitted or streamlined shapes, as these are much more flattering than baggy clothes. Loose, baggy clothes often give the impression that you are big all over, as opposed to simply big busted. Look for fitted tops with seams or darts under the bust as these will define your waist and make you look slimmer.

If you want to emphasise your shape, stretch fabrics like knits and cotton Lycra are great, but remember to wear a smooth or plain bra underneath tight tops. Round, scooped and V-necklines tend to be more flattering for bigger boobs than high necklines.

Unless you have a long waistline, beware of shapes that cut you in half as these can make you look like you have no waistline. Be careful with wide belts and boxy jackets – look for jackets that follow the contours of your body (whether long or short). If you are short waisted, avoid tucking tops in with a belt – wearing tops on the outside, level with your hipbone, will lengthen your torso.
