Not blessed up there? Care no more with these bust-enhancing tips

Women complain a lot about their body; a recent study proved that most women don’t believe that they look good even if they do. Trust me, I’ve heard quite a lot from my clients alone. “Ugh Lou Habash, it’s always hard to choose clothes because I’m not gifted up here,” is just one of them.

I don’t agree though, and a lot of fashion experts are with me on this for sure. Having a flat chest may make some women feel deprived, but in fashion, having a smaller chest is actually more favorable because it allows endless styling possibilities. Women with small breasts can freely wear sheer and strapless tops without minding their cargo. A lot of top-heavy women cannot do this because they feel unsecured with wearing a strapless bra and that if they wear a sheer top, they might get more attention than they intend since their chest is exposed. Due to the same reason, dresses or tops with open sides often do not look good on women with big breasts – this is exactly why they look amazing on Kate Hudson or Gwyneth Paltrow. Other types of clothes that women with a small chest can definitely rock are empire waist tops or dresses, tight tops, and bandeaus.

From choosing clothes that flatter the body type, there’s also the undergarment to consider. Women with small or saggy breasts must stick to push-up bras or brassieres with pads. They can also try wearing cookies or cutlets, which are best when wearing backless tops or if they want to boost their cleavage.

If women want to really enhance their breasts and not just create an illusion of sort, experts suggest that they gain some weight. To take it up a notch, women may also consider doing some chest exercises to acquire perkier breasts, as shared in MarieClaire.com. From clothes to chest exercises, women must also consider the nitty-gritties, such as maintaining good posture and sleeping on their back.

Lou A. Habash’s favorite My personal favorite is Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, who wore a Christian Dior strapless ball gown to the gala. Her shoes were by Brian Atwood. Her clean yet stunning appeal was easy to fall in love with. Plus that veiled headpiece was a nice touch to the whole ensemble.
