What factors determine breast shape
Wondering why your breasts are the shape they are? Genetics do play the most significant part in determining the shape of your breast. However, the following factors will also influence your breast shape:
- Weight loss or weight gain
- Pregnancy and breast-feeding
- Exercise
Why it's important to get to know your breast shape
All bras serve a different purpose; each style supports and
enhances a particular breast shape more than others. Knowing your breast shape
and what typically suits you will help guide you when shopping for the right
bra for your boobs.
Explore our list of 9 typical breast shapes and what bra
styles we recommend each breast shape to try
By no means are these the only bra styles that will suit
each breast shape; however, we choose them for their proven track record of
success.
Small
Some say great things come in small packages. Most breasts require less support, which allows the luxury to not necessarily base your bra choice on the support it offers.
Styles to try:
Wire-free / Bralette or Soft Cup This is an easy-to-wear comfortable style that also offers lightweight support. Wire-free Bras can also provide discretion under clothes and is an excellent option as a first bra. Contour If you want to create more shape and cleavage for your small boobs, a contour style is another great go-to. Contour foam cups provide an excellent rounded shape and flattering cleavage.
Round
Known to be naturally perky, round breasts are equally full at the top and the bottom.
Styles to try:
Balconette This style enhances the natural fuller shape of round shaped breasts through the horizontal cut of the cup and wide set straps.

Wide Set
Wide-Set breasts navigate different directions, meaning one points to the left and one points to the right. Another attribute of the Wide-Set shape is that there is a larger space between your breasts and your nipples point outward.
Styles to try:
Push-Up This style works extremely well with Wide-Set breasts as the angled cups draw the breasts together, creating the appearance of a fuller, more round shape.

Asymmetric
Almost every pair of breasts has one breast larger than the other and a moderate difference in shape, however sometimes the difference in size and shape in pair of breasts is more prominent, sisters not twins, right? Here's the part where we usually suggest particular styles that we know will support and enhance a particular shape, but because Asymmetric breasts are all different from one another and can fit well across a range of styles, there's no one style that stands out as the best solution. Because of this we suggest that if you are the owner of Asymmetric breasts, come and visit one of our stores and get fitted by one of our friendly bra fit experts so that we can help you find the style that works best for you. In the meantime if you’re looking for a quick fix, we offer removable push-up inserts that can help equal out a difference in shape and size.
