Summer 2018 is turning out to be a golden time for big boobs. No more are the fashion gods punishing me for being the often-frustrated owner of F-cups. Finally, there are supportive, beautiful bras and a new wave of summer top trends that cater to fuller bosoms. In addition, I've noticed a rather favourable swimwear trend bubbling up that will make anyone who shudders at the thought of a triangle or bandeau top feel better: underwired, sculpted, cup-celebrating swimwear pieces. The idea is proving to be so popular that even girls with smaller chests are jumping on board.
Now let's be clear: We are not talking about copious amounts of padding leading to super-plunging cleavages. This is more of a soft fabric cup that does more for your boobs than a flimsier style would. It's a great middle ground to explore this holiday season—just remember to always order extra sizes. Swimwear is fickle at the worst times, so it will save you from heartache the first time around—trust me.
Don't believe such a good thing could be happening? Keep reading to see the look in action on social media.
