I am busty (bra size 38C) what kind of clothes can I wear not to make it so obvious? Should I avoid floaty tops?

The key to dressing any body type is making sure you get the right cut to emphasize all your great qualities. To help out with this question we asked the gals at Nygård for some useful tips.

Styles that visually create angles on top best minimize the appearance of a large bust. Try wrap blouses & dresses that use asymmetry to distract the eyes, like NYGÅRD Collection's Leaf Print Wrap Blouse. V-necklines, open collars, and tops with vertical details like pinstripes or structured seams, are also ideal for busty gals as they create visual length. Avoid high and round necklines and excessive embellishment on top, such as ruffles, which draw attention to your chest. As for floaty tops, you can definitely wear them but keep structure in mind. Look for one with a ruched or wrap-style bodice, or combine an ultra-floaty top with a tailored blazer to keep proportions in check.
