I’m a fashion expert – the tops you should ALWAYS avoid if you have big boobs, they’re nip-slip guaranteed

BIG boobs can be a burden when it comes to choosing your outfit. 

Whilst your shape may be a certain size, adding DDs or EEs into the mix means you’ll inevitably have to size up to make an item of clothing fit and avoid a dreaded nip-slip.

For example, your chest down could be a size 12 but to prevent your boobs from falling out of a frock you may need to go up two sizes, but then the dress is ill fitting elsewhere. 

Or, you can find a top you love but it doesn’t flatter or fit your bust. 

It’s a fashion minefield. 

But you can eliminate some styles of tops from your shopping list to make the search for finding the right looks for you that little bit easier. 

Here, Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend, reveals the styles you should drop from your wardrobe. 

CORSETS

Even though corsets are lingerie they’ve made their way into the everyday fashion mainstream and have become a staple style of top.

But like lingerie they should come with bra sizes, however the majority don’t. 

Fashion corset tops aren’t made to fit your cup size, so be it a size 8 or 28 

Cups will be too small for your boobs to fit into, so they end up falling underneath the underwire lining and look squashed. 

Or styles with no cups can make your boobs look just as squashed, this is the mistake model Irina Shayk made with her metallic top. 

BRA TOPS

Similar to corsets, bra tops don’t come in bra sizes so you’ll never get a size that fits you.

To tame your bigger chest you’ll need to up a clothing size, but it will be too big around the back and not fit correctly. 

Or, if you can manage to squeeze yourself into a top you’ll get the dreaded ‘four boob’ look which is when the bust is bulging out of the top, and of course where they should be. 

If you love the look but can’t find a style that fits, try wearing a plain bra in thick cotton material so it gives the illusion that it’s a top instead of lingerie, like Emily Ratajkowski.

No one will know the difference. 

Alternatively shop savvy with brands like ASOS who have a fuller bust range that caters to your big boob needs. 

FRILLS

Peter Pan collared styles or tops with ruffles are always a high street that gives a plain old top some interest, but they just add bulk. 

If you have small boobs they’re good for giving you a fuller busted look, but for larger breasts it just makes your whole top half look bigger. 

Keep your chest fuss free with minimal detailing and fabric around your boobs to avoid this bulk. 

SHIRRING

Tops and frocks with shirring around the bust aren’t really great on any boobs, but they should really be avoided if you have a big chest. 

The gathered rows of fabric stretches by nature, which does seem like it would be good for fuller busts but you end up with no definition in the centre of the chest.

This creates a long ‘sausage boob’ shape that becomes the focal point of your outfit. 

Even former Eastenders actress, Jacqueline Jossa, has been made the fashion faux pas before. 

It’s best to opt for necklaces that open up the chest and flatter the shape of your boobs like a V or Scoop neck.
