SUMMER FASHION TIPS FOR A LARGE BUSTLINE

FOUNTAIN OF 30  

“”

Summer fashion might be challenging if you are on the bustier side, especially after 40. Here are 10 summer styling tips for the  well-endowed woman.

1.  Dark On Top, Light On  Bottom

It’s a simple trick of light.  Darker colors recede, paler ones come forward.

2.  Barer On The Bottom

Showing off your legs with a darker-hued top will draw the glance away from your bust line. 

3.  Tunic Tops

A flowy tunic top is a summer classic and it minimizes a large bustline.

4.  Neckline Details

Square, sweetheart or boat necks can bring the glance to the shoulders and neckline instead of the bust.

5.  Sleeve Details

An interesting sleeve  treatment such as a ruffle,  sheer or crocheted panels or  a fun silhouette can all  work to distract the eye.

6.  Long Skinny Necklace  Or Scarf

Draw the eye up and down, and not across. Try a simple tassel necklace. 

7.  Asymmetric

A one-shoulder look with seaming or patterns that zigzag makes the eye move around instead of settling on the  upper front. 

8.  Matching Sets

An oversized top and wide  leg shorts or pants paired  with heeled sandals or wedges can distract from  an oversized bust.

9.  A Draped Third Piece

A lightweight kimono, shawl or jacket that adds visual interest can cover things up while still remaining cool. 

10.  Smocking 

A bit of smocking on a dress or top can accommodate a larger bust and give a fitted look without tailoring.
