Even though many people have wide-set breasts, it can still be difficult to find a bra that fits you and provides the support you need. Don’t give up hope, though: Whether you want support without altering your natural cleavage or you’re looking to push your boobs in and up, we found many bras out there that are amazing for East/West chests.
We conducted a ton of research and spoke to bra fitting pros to find out what exactly makes a bra a good fit for those with wide-set breasts, and the answer is that you have options, baby. Racerbacks, front closures, push-up cups and side support can all make a huge difference to how comfortable a bra feels for you, and all can provide the look you want. Combine some of these features together and you can be pretty sure you’ll have found your new favorite bra. Speaking of which, here are some of our new favorites.
This is so many people’s favorite bra — and that includes those with wide-set breasts. This is the perfect pick for you if you want to feel supported, but you don’t want to alter the natural look of your cleavage too much: The design holds everything in without smooshing your boobs together unnecessarily. It also gives you just enough lift and shaping to feel comfortable and look flattering, plus it’s a sexy plunge style, ideal for wearing under low-cut clothes. This bra comes in half sizes, the cups are made from memory foam and contain removable inserts, and the straps are adjustable, so you can rest assured you’ll get a perfect fit.
We absolutely love those cute colorways, especially the apple candy green and lilac. It’s great that it comes in lacey options as well for upping that sexiness factor, but sadly some people find the lace scratchy, which is sub-ideal. Thankfully this bra is tagless, so that’s one less potentially scratchy feature to worry about.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Aubade-SOFTESSENCE-Underwired-Triangle-Bra-e6f94045a0b14621ae687b8b07f55b6b.jpg)
A triangle bra is another fantastic option for wide-set breasts in general, but this luxury pick from Aubade is especially worth the investment. First of all, it looks absolutely beautiful (though, yes, it will show your nipples — so take note if that’s not your speed), thanks to soft lace, tulle lining, scalloped straps, and a plunging neckline.
Second of all, the Softsense material “shapes, supports, and centers the breasts, bringing them forward rather than outward,” says Sapna Palep, the CEO of multi-brand lingerie retailer Journelle. That’s because of side support, which helps to reduce the gap between your breasts and hold you in. We also love that it’s made from part recycled materials, and that it comes in two basic colors plus a teal.
It’s not just the pros, though: Customers love this design so much that many of them collect it in a selection of colorways — because it comes in great neutrals as well as a fierce leopard or a pretty berry, to call out a couple. Each of these features a sheer mesh panel at the top of the cup and lacy embellishments, but some people do find that fabric scratchy. Still, for those with wide-set breasts, the side support panel as well as the J hook in the back are especially welcome for helping the breasts sit forward and up.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Knix-Lace-Racerback-Bralette-942d839f21ec4b80ae5dbd68292ff542.jpg)
