Genetically blessed by DNA, my 34Cs/32Ds are an asset to have. Despite countless lingerie campaigns boosting the perks of bigger boobs, having them in real life didn't guarantee the eye-popping boosting effects that bras gave me. Though my bust is ideal for regular bras with underwire, finding the right bralette is a torture for me as they are either too small, not supportive or made my chest look flatter.
While a few are tried and tested by yours truly, others are equally high performing products that can support your girls. Here's some of our top picks.
Triangle Bralette, $45, Parade
Made with recycled fabric, this bralette feels ultra soft, yet it's still stylish as you can wear it underneath a sheer top. Designed to fit DD+ bra sizes, it features thicker bands and straps that don't dig in. You can wear it with a tank top, cropped cardigan and cargo pants for a '00s inspired look.
Juna Satin Jersey and Lace Soft Cup Bra, $74, Hanro
Turn the heat up in the bedroom with this super cute satiny lace bralette. Though it looks like it could run up to more than $100, Hanro's reasonable price is proof that this is worth the bang for your buck.
Jolie Skinny Strap Crop Bralette, $69, Perk by Kate
If you think that big boobs and skinny straps don't work out, this bralette from Perk by Kate proves it wrong. You can wear it with a wrap shirt, midi skirt and pointy toe heels for brunch.
