THE BEST SWIMWEAR FOR YOUR BUST SIZE
Swimwear season is almost here, and our new swimwear collection is sure to excite. Choosing swimwear that fits you perfectly can be a seasonal struggle - until now! We’ve previously covered which swimwear styles are the most flattering for your body type, and now it’s time to think about how your bust size affects which styles to go for.
Knowing which styles and shapes work best with your bust makes swimwear shopping so much easier. So, learn how to find the best bikinis and swimsuits for big busts or small busts here.
WHAT MAKES THE BEST SWIMWEAR FOR BIG BUSTS?
For larger busts, you want good support. Go for underwired bikini tops and swimsuits for structured, supportive comfort and all-day confidence. Bikini tops with bra-like straps are best, but that doesn’t mean you have to shy away from other styles.
If you have a larger bust, you’ll also find that swimwear with bra-like clasp fastenings, rather than tie strings, offers you more secure support. You don’t have to avoid triangle-tie bikini styles, but you will likely find other fits are more supportive.
Halter-neck bikinis and swimsuits are also great for bigger busts as the straps tying around your neck will provide you with extra support. Look for halternecks with wide straps though, as thinner ones will likely dig in and be uncomfortable.
Like the look of bandeau swimwear styles but thought they weren’t for you?, Our range of DD+ swimwear features plenty of strapless pieces that are designed to provide you with the support you need, all day long.
THE BEST BIKINIS AND SWIMSUITS FOR BIG BUSTS
First up, let’s start with the best one-pieces for bigger busts. You’re spoilt for choice this season! The Naples crinkle super push-up swimsuit is one of our top recommendations. We love the textured fabric and cut-out swimwear style. The super push-up cups are made for emphasising your bust and creating a defined cleavage!
The Ibiza swimsuit was a 2023 bestseller and for good reason; wiring for extra support, and ruched adjustable cups make it a flattering and supportive choice. It’s available up to a G cup too - perfect for bigger busts.
Another sexy swimsuit choice we love is the Portofino swimsuit. Adjustable side ruching means you select the leg/bum coverage, and in strawberry red, it will make your tan pop! The adjustable straps guarantee support that’s comfortable all day long.
Balconette-shaped bikini tops are one of the best bikini styles for bigger busts. The Amalfi crinkle balconette bikini top is a big-boob swimwear must-have, as the wide adjustable straps add all the support you need.
WHAT MAKES THE BEST SWIMWEAR FOR SMALLER BUSTS?
Those with smaller busts can opt for any swimwear style - but, adjustability is key. Triangle bikinis or any tops with adjustable cups are a great choice as you can control your coverage and alter your desired shape.
If you want to boost your smaller bust, then opt for padded and push-up bikini tops.
THE BEST BIKINIS AND SWIMSUITS FOR SMALL BUSTS
Adjustability is what you want from a bikini if you have smaller boobs The Ibiza plunge bikini top features drawstring cups, so you can adjust the coverage and boost the look of your boobs. This can also be a great feature to look for if you find you have uneven boob sizes.
If a cleavage boost is on your summer wishlist, opt for the Sorrento plunge bikini top, and the matching Sorrento brazilian bikini bottoms. The soft matte fabric feels amazing, whilst padded cups and a plunge shape give your natural curves a lift.
Our favourite swimsuit for a smaller bust is the Cyprus super push-up swimsuit, the classic black shade ensures a luxury aesthetic, and the padded cups provide a gorgeous boost - it’ll be a holiday outfit staple for sure.
