But even something as simple as your breast shape can be quite confusing, so we asked Le Diouron to break down every single shape—there are nine!—and the best bra type for each. Whether you’re after the best bra for lift, side support, a small chest, or a large bust, read on to reveal your best fit. Bra recommendation: “For this type of breast, we will not be looking for structure, but rather the desired level of support and coverage. The best options—ranked in order from more coverage to less coverage—are T-shirt bras, balconette, and plunge styles.” Bra recommendation: “An underwired full cup bra will give the support that the bottom of the breasts need, and the structure of the cup will lift the breasts to give some projection and more volume on top.” Bra recommendation: “An underwired balconette or demi cup bra with a vertical seam will lift the breasts and make them look fuller on the top.” Bra recommendation: “A T-shirt bra will help visually reduce the difference of sizes. The absence of seams and the full coverage will smooth the volume of the breast on a larger area, making the difference less noticeable. While unnecessary, you also have the option of buying a pad to fill out the cup for your smaller breast.” Bra recommendation: “A seamed bra, which is designed to give the bustline a natural shape, will give the breasts a structure to conform to and support the breasts to point forwards.” Bra recommendation: “A push-up bra is a great option to give additional depth if desired. For a more natural look, a wireless triangle bra would work perfectly well too. Bras with underwires tend to have too wide a circumference, which may lead to gapping at the sides or other uncomfortable fitting issues, so going wire-free could work in your favor.” Bra recommendation: “A contoured bra is ideal for giving shape and forward projection to the breasts.” Bra recommendation: “A plunge bra or triangle bra would work well as they have a lower and shorter center gore compared to other bras. That way, the center of the bra can lay flat on the sternum without laying on the breast tissue.” Bra recommendation: “A plunge style with or without padding is recommended to push the breasts together and therefore enhance the cleavage.” RELATED: The Best Places to Buy Comfy Bras Online That Actually Fit
