Busty & Beautiful: Styling Tips That Actually Work (5 of 6)

Accessorize with Intention

Accessories can help you play with proportion and draw the eye exactly where you want it. Statement earrings are a wonderful way to pull focus upward, while longer pendant necklaces add vertical lines that elongate your torso. Scarves, jackets, and structured handbags can also balance out your look without being over the top.

Know What to Watch Out For

You can wear whatever makes you feel good—period. But if you’ve ever put something on and felt off, it could be due to one of these common culprits:

• Crew necks: These can create a broad, unbroken line across your chest. Try layering or accessorizing to break it up.
• Backless styles: Gorgeous, yes—but hard to wear with supportive bras. If you’re going for it, try stick-on cups or a low-back bra extender (but be honest with yourself about comfort).
• Shapeless silhouettes: Oversized is trendy, but on a fuller bust, it can swallow your figure. Look for pieces that add shape, like waist ties, darts, or clever draping.
