When feeling sexy is on your mind, as it tends to be around Valentine's Day [1], finding the right underthings typically falls at the top of our list. But because fit is a particular challenge for women who are smaller on top [2], we're on the hunt for the bras and bralettes that are made to flaunt what you've got — or help fake it instead.
The trick is embracing plunging cuts, sheer and lacy finishes, strategic underwire, and even a well-placed floral appliqué to shape what you've got. And while playful cuts that don't offer lots of support can be a challenge for women with bigger chests, you're in luck — it's your chance to play with all kinds of flirty silhouettes. Just read on to shop our editors' picks.
