How To Find The Best Bra Style For Your Breast Shape

Shallow

Demi bra

Wide-set straps on a demi bra will help to anchor the sides of your bra even more and make you feel really comfortable.

Wide-set and splayed breasts

Triangle, wireless bra

Underwire will work to allow your breasts to sit more comfortably in the front and with less at the sides that might dig in. If underwire isn't comfortable at all, go for a triangle-shaped, wireless bra that works naturally with your own shape. Any extra support at the sides like boning or seaming is a bonus.

Conical

Padded bra

Fully padded bras will help your boobs feel more comfortable under clothes which are often designed to go totally against a shape like this. T-shirt styles will work best.

Large and self supported

Balconette bra

"A balconette bra is the ideal selection if you're looking for a great all-rounder", Bravissimo bra-fitting expert Louise Gardner says. "A balconette means boobs are lifted, separated and supported, without coming too high in the cup. This style gives you a nice rounded shape and is perfect for everyday wear."

Large and settled

Full cup bra

"Full cup bras are great for bigger or unsupported boobs" says Louise. "The higher cut means a more demure coverage when you need it."

Uneven boobs and unsupported boobs

Moulded bra

Louise says: "If you have uneven or naturally less buoyant boobs, a moulded cup bra provides a more rigid structure. The smooth, rounded, cup, will keep your boobs safely holstered, whilst creating a soft but defined outline for your bust."

Full boobs, supported boobs, and deep cleavage

Plunge bra

"If you have full boobs which touch in the middle, you'll find a plunge bra the most comfortable option", says Louise.

"If you have a bigger gap between their boobs a plunge or balconette style with a shorter underwire will be most comfortable. For a forward fitting shape, look for styles with a hidden side sling."
