CHOOSE ELONGATING NECKLINES
Scoop, cowl, square and v-necklines on tops and dresses are super flattering on busty babes because they optically elongate your neck and torso. For more neckline inspo, check out our helpful post A Guide To Your Most Flattering Necklines.
SELECT STYLES WITH STRETCH
As mentioned above, stretch in your tops and dresses is key when you are busty. Woven pieces without any stretch may not fit over the bust area at all, even if the sizing elsewhere is correct. Clothing with spandex are naturally more fitted to the body and better highlight your natural waistline.
PAIR HIGHER NECKLINES WITH LAYERS
If you do opt for a higher neckline (for modesty or just a really cute shirt), avoid the dreaded uni-boob by leveraging layers to lengthen your look. Flatter your bust and add structure when you layer a crew neck or turtleneck top under a contrasting colored dress, cardigan, vest or jacket.
HIGHLIGHT YOUR NATURAL WAIST
Choose pieces that cinch underneath the bustline to highlight the smallest part of your torso and keep your tops from looking like tents. Achieve this with tie-front, peplum, wrap, empire and fitted pieces.

WEAR DARK COLORS ON TOP
If you’re a busty beauty who prefers to downplay your chest, reach for styles with darker shades on top and bolder colors on bottom. Black, charcoal, navy, brown, burgundy, plum and olive are great colors to underplay your upper half.
