As we all know, being a teenage girl can be rather difficult, but being a teenage girl with bigger boobs can be even worse! However, I believe that the worst thing you can do is ignore the fact that you have bigger boobs and disregard the all importance of wearing the right size.
Wearing the correct bra size is imperative at any age but even more so when you are a teenager as it can help you feel much more confident within yourself. The right bra size can flatter your curves as it makes your boobs sit in the correct place, accentuating your waist line. It can also make your boobs look smaller as they will appear much neater and supported in the right size. So not only is it important for the support, but it works wonders for your figure and your confidence!
For most teens, when they think about ‘fuller bust’ bras they find themselves horrified at the thought of wearing a massive, old fashion, white, cotton bra – which is most certainly not the case. I have put together the Top 3 brands that in my opinion, would be great for growing teens. They all have a great variety of gorgeous and fun bras as well as those everyday ones that you need for school/college. Each brand is designed for women of absolutely any age, making them extremely versatile and perfect if you and your daughter/mum are the same size! (How perfect would that be!?)
Curvy Kate are an amazing brand that produce amazing quality bras, built around celebrating your curves and building confidence. They have a huge range of beautifully coloured and patterned pieces, as well as neutral shades that are perfect for every day. Curvy Kate offer something for everyone and no matter what age you are, you are guaranteed to love this brand!
A. Smoothie Balconette Bra Wild Blush (D-J cup) £30 - This moulded bra is perfect for everyday, especially for a smooth finish underneath t-shirts. The colour, although a little more boring than others, is perfect underneath a white school blouse. The leopard print adds a fun twist to your average nude bra and it also features a j-clip converter, allowing you to go racer back when needed!
B. Princess Balconette Bra White (D-K cup) £29 - Another perfect every day bra, this time without a moulded cup. This balconette style offers a great shape and is low enough to be worn with vest tops. The polka dot detailing makes it so cute too!
C. CoppaFeel! Bra (D-J cup) £30 - Curvy Kate recently teamed up with the amazing breast cancer charity CoppaFeel! to produce this super fun piece! It is a t-shirt bra, so perfect for everyday and the hot pink and purple makes it really fun and girly. Plus the girls over at Curvy Kate donate £1 for every bra sold! We love this one.
D. Portia Balconette Bra Lime/Rose (D-K cup) Was £28 NOW £14.95 - This colour is GORGEOUS! Such a bold and bright lime shade- the complete opposite to boring! Many teens detest the idea of wearing a non moulded bra, but I can assure you, if you’re wearing the right size then you won’t even know the difference.
E. Starlet Balconette Bra Tigerlily (D-J cup) Was £29 NOW £14.95 - This is a gorgeous moulded t-shirt bra, the coral colour is so appealing. This is a great fit and is extremely comfortable.
F. Dare Plunge Bra Blush/Black (D-J cup_ Was £29 NOW £18.95 - Now for something a little more sophisticated. This blush coloured bra is very flattering on and offers a great lift and shape. A little more suited to those who are older as it is a plunge style.
Cleo bras are renowned for their playful and fun designs. Their collection mainly consist of balconette bras, a popular choice among teens, and offer great support and a rounded look.
A. Minnie Balconette bra Black/White Spot (D-J cup) £27 - This is a gorgeous bra (and currently at the top of my wish list) the polka print is so lovely and the semi-sheer lace is just the right amount of lace to still make it an everyday bra.
B. Juna Balconette Bra Black (D-J cup) £23 - Everyone needs a plain black bra and this is the perfect one. It is lightly padded so gives you a great shape without making you look any bigger. One of the great things about Cleo bras is that they also come with relatively thin straps, which teens love!
C. Nyla Balconette Bra Floral Print (D-J cup) £27 - This bra doesn’t need much explanation, it is simply gorgeous! The print is so girly and fun, definitely a ‘lust have.’
D. Maddie T-shirt Bra Nude (D-H cup) £25 – Another great t-shirt bra, this piece is lightly padded so it offers a seam free finish, great for underneath tighter tops.
Freya are another brand that cater for any woman, at any age. They offer a mix of fun prints and stylish designs, making them one of our most popular brands. They are amazing quality and extremely comfortable!
A. Deco Moulded Plunge Bra Rebel (D-G cup) £32 - The funnest twist on your average t-shirt bra I’ve ever seen! Deco is a very popular Freya bra (and my personal favourite) it gives great lift, great support, great shape. It is basically fantastic and this leopard print style is so fun!
B. Piper Plunge Balconette Bra Cornflower (D-K cup) Was £30 NOW £19.95 - This bra is in between a plunge and a balconette shape, making it a very popular style. The blue print is so beautiful and although it is non padded, the material is quite thick and smooth.
C. Deco Spotlight Plunge Bra Claret (D-G cup) Was £32 NOW £22.95 - Another great Deco bra but at an even better price. The dark red bra features a very small polka dot print, which is so cute.
D. Totally Tartan Padded Longline Bra Denim (D-G cup) Was £34 NOW £23.95 - Now to finish off with something really sassy, this longline bra is moulded and has a ‘denim look’ to it. Longline bras are very flattering and it is great to see them becoming so popular in fuller bust sizes!
So I hope that this blog was helpful in getting to know some brands that offer fantastic bras for the younger generation (as well as all other ages).
