Recommended Bra For Your Body Shape

Recognizing your body shape and understanding what best fits it are the two most important factors when you select your underwear. Keep in mind that the lingerie you select should complement and flatter your body shape. Knowing your body shape is as important as keeping yourself gorgeous if you want heads to turn your way. You will be able to dress accordingly and feel a lot more confident about yourself. Here’s the list of different female body shapes and the appropriate lingerie to match.

Apple

Apple-shaped individuals have good proportions. The midsection, though, tends to carry weight and usually don’t have a well-defined waist. It is important to draw the attention to the upper portion of the body. Apple-shaped women with big boobs should go for half-cup bra or full-cup bra. For small-busted, balconette bra and plunge  or push-up bra suit perfectly. It is definitely a no-no to wear strapless or triangle bra as these don’t give enough support and overemphasized those ladies.

Pear Shape

This is directly opposite of apple-shaped bodies. Women who are pear-shaped have narrow top and wide bottom. They have full bottom and heavy thighs.  To balance it, we recommend emphasizing the upper portion of the body. That’s why you can go for large collars, bright tops and frills on sleeves. When it comes to bra, go for padded bra or push-up especially if you small busts. This also tends to emphasize the top to balance out your curvy bottom.

Hourglass Shape

Women with hourglass bodies have well-defined waist. The shoulders are in proportion with the hips. They have perfectly balance body that’s why many considered it as an ideal body shape. It is also easier to look for dress which suits hourglass-shaped bodies. Since women with hourglass bodies tend to have full busts, a plunge or a balconette bra may suit them. For big-breasted women, it’s great to go for a minimalist style like full-cup bra, half-cup or even a minimiser bra.

Rectangle Shape

Rectangular-shaped bodies have fairly straight up bodies.  Many women love to have this shape because it is easier to experiment with all clothing styles. There’s nothing to minimize either because it is more of a ruler type body. It is easier to create an illusion of curves to this body shape. For bra, a balconette style will do because it has wide-set straps to narrow shoulders. This bra also creates cleavage effect for a more feminine look. Never wear sports bra or any kinds of minimiser bra as this will definitely look wrong on you.
