10 Tops to Try If You Have a Small Bust
August 15, 2023 at 10:25PM
If your bust is on the smaller side, you know that shopping for tops can oftentimes be a challenge. On one hand, you want to feel empowered to wear whatever you want – there’s no real harm in that, right? But on the other, not all tops are created equal; stuff can either look way too baggy, make you appear flatter than you actually are, or might simply feel like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Fortunately, we understand the struggle all too well, and our editors have developed a particular expertise in understanding what the most flattering tops for a small chest are – and more importantly, where to shop them.
What Are the Best Types of Tops For Small Busts?
As with every body type or size, some styles are designed to fit better than others, and such is the case for those with smaller busts. There are a couple things to keep in mind when shopping out the best type of top or silhouette for your chest size. Because you might not have to worry about cleavage as extensively as those with larger busts, you have the freedom to wear tighter, more body-hugging pieces – like vests, corset tops, and even lightweight tank tops.
While oversize fashion might be on trend, it also brings with it a lot of extra material, which might look overwhelming if you’ve got a smaller bust. That being said, if you’d like to create a little more volume up top, you might opt for something with boob-lifting capabilities like a bustier or curate a more layered look with pieces like a classic T-shirt and button-down layered on top. The options are truly endless, and you’ll have even more to take into consideration depending on the occasion, dress code, or season you might be shopping for; sleeveless tops are always a winner, but off-the-shoulder long-sleeve blouses are great alternatives when the temperatures start cooling down, too.
With all this in mind, ahead, we rounded up the 10 best tops for small busts, with styles that come in a wide range of silhouettes, fits, and even prices. Whether you’re looking for a breezy everyday basic or a cool statement piece, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading to shop them all and grab your favorites while they’re still in stock.
