Everyone loves a good jumper—but finding the right fit can be challenging, especially if you have big boobs. Knitwear is a winter staple, whether you like it or not. If you live in the UK, you’d be hard pressed to get through winter without a few in your wardrobe (or coats, for that matter). The cold weather is bracing and while it can feel restrictive in terms of what you can wear every day, it can also open up a whole world of styling opportunities.

Not all sweaters are created equal though. The style and fabric make a huge difference on its longevity but also how flattering it will be. For those with big busts, there are a few styles that work better than others, so what should you look for when shopping for a knit? Firstly, you want to avoid knits that look bulky. This can make your boobs look bigger than they actually are and create a top-heavy appearance.

Cuts are important too. V-neck styles or wrap sweaters are really flattering for bigger busts, or you could opt for a cardigan. It helps to avoid jumpers that are too chunky too, as these can add more volume where you might not want it. Of course, these aren’t hard and fast rules but they can help when you’re looking for a cute knit for winter.

Here, I’m sharing some handy tips and tricks for how to style a jumper if you have big boobs and my edit of the bust jumpers available right now. Next, learn How to Pick the Best Jeans For Your Body Type.

Fitted jumpers

Choosing a loose-fitting jumper is an obvious choice, but going oversized can hide your figure. A fitted option might be a better option, as they hug your curves nicely and emphasise your silhouette without looking bulky. This gives you shape and can be a lot more flattering.

High necks

High neck sweaters work really well for you as they elongate your figure and compliment your shape. This rule also works for tops; roll necks always look great on you. Avoid jumpers that are super thick and chunky as they might look bulky, but it’s trial and error.

V-necklines

Similarly V-necks work really well for big busts as they too elongate your figure, creating a streamlined silhouette and avoiding too much fabric on your upper half. Try wrap styles that offer this shape.

Cropped sweaters

Cropped sweaters offer a boxier fit, which gives a completely different look but can work really well for big busts. It takes the attention away from your chest and looks a little bit cooler than V-neck styles.

Cardigans are a great choice, as they often have V-necklines and offer a slim fit. They’re versatile too as the buttons allow you to adjust the appearance and shape.
