Tops and T**s
Confused as to why some shirts look like crap on you? Search no further than your chest for the culprit. Because something like 80% of women are rumoured to be wearing the wrong size bra, getting properly fit for one (and checking out our guide to
bras) can make all of your clothes look and feel much betterespecially tops. That said, the bigger your boobs, the more you have to worry about, so let's start with the big busted gals for a little top advice.
If you're well endowed:
* '''Don't try to go braless. '''Ever.
* '''Don't try to wear a top that looks ridiculous if you wear a bra with it.''' 1. You'll be tempted to remove the bra (NO!), and 2. Well, that just looks stupid.
* '''Actively seek out tops with straps that will hide your bra.''' Not only will you look neat, but thicker straps will flatter your chest by keeping it looking in proportion to your shoulders.
* '''Wear a halter (with a halter bra) only if you're prepared for a literal pain in the neck.''' Same goes for strapless and a constant pulling motion (although a
long form bra may just be a solution to that issue).
* '''Invest in a few camisoles.''' They'll conceal your bra with lower cut tops and give you a streamlined look under clothes.
* '''Be appropriate. '''It's great to have cleavage, but your cotime, please.
* '''Don't ignore empire waists that cut your bust or darts that you overflow.''' Yes, people notice.
If you're less endowed:
* '''Go braless with caution. '''Only if you're really, really tiny chest-wise, the shirt requires it, and no one can see your nipples.
* '''Don't try to wear a top with darts you can't fill. '''You'll look deflated, and smaller than you actually are.
* '''Embrace your bra options. '''You know that Victoria's Secret bra that you can supposedly wear 100 different ways? Well, girls with big boobs will be bouncing around in about 87 of them. Enjoy the ridiculous variety novelty bras (and the tops you can get away with wearing them with) that were created especially for you, the girl who needs virtually no support.
* '''Invest in a Wonder Bra, or gel inserts.''' You never know when you'll desperately need to fill something out, and they'll come in very handy. Just don't try them on a third date. That could get awkward.
