We feel pretty confident in saying any woman with big boobs agrees that picking out an outfit for any occasion is instantly a little more challenging if your cups overfloweth. When you have to consider cleavage, gaping shirts, dresses that don't fit both your top and your bottom, and let's face it, boobs that fluctuate in size, getting dressed can easily be the part of your day you dread the most. But it doesn't have to be that way! With a few new outfit ideas, you can feel inspired when you get ready in the morning and not frustrated that nothing fits right.

To give you the absolute best style advice, we turned to the experts: Cosmo editors who wear a D-cup and up. Here, they share their go-to silhouettes and closet staples that not only work for a bustier figure, but also look really freakin' cute. So toss out all your shirts with laughable built-in bras, get yourself one of these top-rated bras for big boobs (like this editor-approved bandeau bra for bigger breasts), and let the below advice inspire your next look. From bodysuit outfits to ways to wear oversized shirts and not look frumpy, we give you 16 outfits for girls with big boobs, approved by others in your same shoes (or should I say bra?).

1. The Adjustable Straps

Bebe Solid Satin Bias Slip Dress

Solid Satin Bias Slip Dress
Now 13% Off
$60 at Saks OFF 5TH$11 at Amazon

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“Love this slip dress and I have it in three colors...taupe, black, and blue. The material feels really luxurious and the fit is true to size. Oh, and the colors are gorgeous!”

2. The Ruched Button-Down

Loft Ruched Waist Midi Shirtdress

Ruched Waist Midi Shirtdress
Now 51% Off

Not only is this dress made from fabric with generous stretch, but it's also designed to have a ruched effect around the buttons that make any pulling of the fabric look totally intentional (i.e. not like your bust is busting out).


3. The Wrap Dress

Good American Belted Body Dress

Good American Belted Body Dress

This belted, midi-length sweater dress with a little slit action is super easy to style. Plus, you get to choose between this ever-timeless black option and a sophisticated sepia brown hue. Add some heels or boots—depending on the occasion—accessorize with a pendant necklace, and you're good to go.


4. The Smocked Top

BTFBM Square Neck Boho Smocked Blouse

Square Neck Boho Smocked Blouse

When you have big boobs, fitted tops are a hard style to pull off. Sure, you could buy a shirt to fit them and take it to the tailor, *or* you could go with a stretchier option that hugs your curves perfectly but is still super comfortable and never too tight.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“I get sooo many compliments when I wear this top. I pair it with jeans and cute heels or wedges. It’s perfect at cinching the waist and the sleeves are light and airy so even though there’s arm coverage, it’s very cool for hot weather. The scrunched material hides any flaws. I have a larger DD chest, weigh about 116lbs, and I'm 5’4” for reference...Also, it's not cheap looking at all. I bought three more in different colors because I loved the fit for my curves."

5. The Oversized Blazer

Pistola Roman Oversized Blazer

Pistola Roman Oversized Blazer

With a boxy jacket, you won't have to worry about getting it tailored to fit both your bust and your waist. Leave it open in the front if you want to show off a little, or fasten a button for the profesh look.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“I'm not ever trying to hide my shape, so I tend to go fitted with my dresses and tops most of the time and I love pairing that with the new oversized blazer trend.”

6. The Scoop Neckline

Re Ona Nia Scoop Neck

Re Ona Nia Scoop Neck



If a plunging neckline feels like too much and a turtleneck seems stifling, go with a square, scoop, or boatneck. A plain, fitted top is great for wearing with a pair of jeans for a casual look, pairing with a pair of wide trousers, or layering under other pieces.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“Square and scoop necklines are nice for when I want to feel more open, but not go crazy on cleave.”

7. The Silky Dress

Camila Coelho Priscilla Mini Dress

Camila Coelho Priscilla Mini Dress

When you want something that fits your body but doesn't squeeze it, try a satin-y silky dress that has a matching belt to define your shape.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“I love wearing silk dresses—it's even better when they have something that ties at the waist.”

8. The Turtleneck

Spanx Suit Yourself Ribbed Long Sleeve Turtleneck Bodysuit

Spanx Suit Yourself Ribbed Long Sleeve Turtleneck Bodysuit
Now 40% Off

When you want to show off your curves without any cleavage whatsoever, turtleneck bodysuits are your best friend. Unlike regular tops that can become easily untucked with big boobs, the onesie version will keep everything smooth and pulled tight.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“Amazing top for layering and to wear alone! Such a classic and comfortable wardrobe staple. The crotch snaps are surprisingly comfortable. In fact, I walked 15 miles in this as part of a fully-dressed, cold weather vacation layered look (top tucked in to dress pants all day) and forgot I was wearing a bodysuit—amazing!”

9. The Knotted Top

Vuori Long Sleeve Cove Twist Tee

Vuori Long Sleeve Cove Twist Tee

Boxy crop tops or T-shirts tend to look like a tent if you have a larger bust. Ones with ties and twists add a bit more definition and stops that nonsense from happening. Even if your shirt doesn't come with ties, knot it in the front with the extra fabric to highlight your shape.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“Cute design. The fabric is comfortable and wicks away the sweat. It's easy to stretch and move around in this top."

10. The Luxe T-Shirt Dress

ASOS DESIGN Satin Oversized Midi T-Shirt Dress

ASOS DESIGN Satin Oversized Midi T-Shirt Dress

OK, yes, this does have a boxier cut–but it won’t create that unappealing tent effect thanks to the drape-y satin material that skims instead of fully obscuring curves, and the slightly voluminous sleeves that balances out a bigger chest. Plus, a thigh-high slit adds a flirty touch to the midi silhouette. Style it with a cropped shacket or belted trench.


11. The Statement Sleeve Bodysuit

Rebdolls Tilda Textured Peasant Sleeve Bodysuit

Rebdolls Tilda Textured Peasant Sleeve Bodysuit
Now 50% Off



All the stay-put magic of a sleek turtleneck or scoop-neck bodysuit, but add playful, poofy sleeves that balance out a bigger chest, and a bold hue for a fun and surprisingly versatile piece. It'll look SO good with high-waisted jeans, your fave maxi skirt, or a pair of kick-flare pants.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“Wow! I love this bodysuit–the royal blue is as rich and radiant as in the picture, and the fit was perfect. Gorgeous, gorgeous!!!"

12. The Blousy Jumpsuit

Athleta Brooklyn Heights Wide Leg Jumpsuit

Athleta Brooklyn Heights Wide Leg Jumpsuit

If you despise tops that constantly ride up when you raise your arms, then you'll love jumpsuits. This one has the look of a blouse without all the fuss of constantly tucking it in.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“The jumpsuit is very flattering and comfortable! It snatches your waist while it is also flowy in the legs. It works as a professional outfit for work or for just hanging out with friends. Definitely recommend!”

13. The Wide High-Waisted Pants and Cropped Top

Diarra Blu Jant Pants

Diarra Blu Jant Pants



A glamorous, flowy, v wide pair of high-waisted pants are always a good idea: All that swishy movement balances out a bigger chest. Pair with a fun, fluttery-sleeve crop top to underscore the waist-whittling effect, because crop tops are your friend! But since a cropped shirt can look like a straight-up bra on someone with big boobs, wearing yours with high-waisted bottoms like these drama-filled beauts will give you more coverage if you want it. P.S. This combo looks especially cute when paired with a cropped jacket, too.


14. The Matching Set

Eloquii Printed Wide Leg Pant

Eloquii Printed Wide Leg Pant
Now 50% Off



Coordinating sets take all the guesswork out of getting dressed in the morning, and they solve all the fit issues that women with big boobs are used to dealing with because you can buy different sizes on the top and bottom. Wear them together, or mix and match them with other pieces you own.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

“I have this in both the black and pink versions. I love how comfortable they are and that transition from work to happy hour well. I get lots of compliments!"

15. The Belted Flowy Dress

Abercrombie Satin Plisse Easy Mini Dress

Abercrombie Satin Plisse Easy Mini Dress
Now 22% Off

When you don't have the energy to find a dress that fits you like a glove, slip on a roomy design and make it work for you by cinching a belt around your waist. Or if it already comes with a belted effect, like this gorge pleated mini, even better!

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

"I ordered this dress for a holiday party and received so many compliments! The tie around the waist is extremely flattering and the material is buttery soft. I loved the cuffs on the sleeves and there is a sneaky key hole opening in the back. 10/10!”

16. The Structured Jumpsuit

Madewell Ruched Crop Straight-Leg Jumpsuit

Madewell Ruched Crop Straight-Leg Jumpsuit
Now 57% Off

Another great boob-friendly jumpsuit style to add to your rotation? A polished one with fitted, structured bodice, adjustable straps so you can control the cleavage level, and tailored lines. It’s a great wedding guest ‘fit option–just add some stunning heels and chunky earrings–or, dress it down with cute sneaks and a denim jacket.

Here's What a Reviewer Said:

"This jumpsuit is so cute. I have been eyeing it for awhile but finally decided to purchase during the last sale. I'm so glad I did. I love the way this lays; it looks so flattering. The fabric is good quality and so soft."
