Bra shopping can feel like a never-ending puzzle. Have you ever wondered why one bra looks amazing on your friend but doesn’t quite fit right on you? That’s because every woman has a unique breast shape, and the key to comfort and support is choosing a bra designed for your specific shape.
In this guide, we’ll break down the different breast shapes and match them with the best bras for breast shape. Whether you have round, teardrop, asymmetrical, or any other type of breasts, we’ve got you covered!
Understanding Breast Shapes & Their Ideal Bras
Before we dive into the best bras for each shape, let’s first identify what your breast shape might be. Below are the most common breast shapes and the bras that best complement them.
1. Round Breasts
Round breasts are evenly full at the top and bottom, giving them a naturally perky appearance. Women with this shape often find that most bras fit them well, as they don’t need extra support to create fullness or lift.
Best Bra Type:
- Balconette Bra – This style has wide-set straps and a horizontal neckline, enhancing the natural roundness of the breasts while providing a gentle lift.
- Demi Bra – Offers a lower-cut cup that showcases the natural shape without excessive push-up.
- T-shirt Bra – Provides seamless, smooth coverage, making it ideal for everyday wear.
If you find that most bras fit well without gaps or spillage, you likely have round breasts. A balconette bra can highlight your natural fullness, making it a great option for lower necklines.

With delicate French embroidery, a perfectly structured balconette fit, and a touch of luxury, it gives you that elegant lift while making you feel like a queen.
2. East-West Breasts
East-West breasts have nipples that point outward, and the breasts naturally sit wider apart. Many women with this shape find that bras don’t provide enough front-and-center support, making their breasts look farther apart.
Best Bra Type:
- Plunge Bra – Designed with angled cups and a deep center, a plunge bra gently brings the breasts inward for a more centered look.
- Push-up Bra – Adds volume and enhances cleavage while drawing the breasts toward the middle.
- T-shirt Bra with Side Support – Features extra side panels to guide the breasts forward and create a rounder shape.

3. Side-Set Breasts
Similar to East-West, side-set breasts have a noticeable gap between them, but they tend to be fuller. This shape benefits from bras that help bring the breasts closer together for a more proportionate look.
Best Bra Type:
- Push-up Bra – Adds volume and helps close the gap between the breasts.
- Balconette Bra – Lifts from below while maintaining a natural shape.
- Bralette with Side Panels – Provides gentle support while bringing the breasts inward.

4. Asymmetrical Breasts
Most women have some level of asymmetry, but for some, the difference is more noticeable. One breast may be larger than the other, leading to an uneven fit in standard bras.
Best Bra Type:
- T-shirt Bra with Removable Padding – Allows you to add extra padding to the smaller breast for a more even look.
- Balconette Bra – Offers a flattering shape without emphasizing the size difference.
- Molded Cup Bra – Gives structure and a uniform appearance.

5. Bell-Shaped Breasts
Bell-shaped breasts are narrower at the top and fuller at the bottom. Because of their weight, they often require bras with extra support.
Best Bra Type:
- Full-Coverage Bra – Offers firm support and a structured fit.
- Underwire Bra – Lifts from below to balance the shape.
- Minimizer Bra – Reduces projection while offering strong support.

6. Teardrop Breasts
Similar to round breasts, but slightly less full at the top, teardrop breasts have a natural slope.
Best Bra Type:
- Demi Bra – Lifts from below to enhance upper fullness.
- Balconette Bra – Provides support while maintaining a natural shape.
- Push-up Bra – Gives a gentle boost for a balanced silhouette.
If your upper cup often feels empty in full-coverage bras, a demi or balconette style will provide a subtle lift. The perfect demi bra you absolutely have to try is Unpadded Floral Wire Bra - Cream Tan from Diana Intimates!
This beauty is all about natural elegance and just the right amount of support without the extra padding. It gives you that effortlessly chic and natural shape while still offering the perfect lift.
7. Slender Breasts
Slender breasts are narrower with less natural fullness, and nipples may sit lower.
Best Bra Type:
- Push-up Bra – Creates the illusion of more volume.
- Plunge Bra – Enhances cleavage while lifting the bust.
- Wireless Bra with Support Panels – Offers comfort while maintaining shape.
