A Guide to Breast Shapes
Share
At Posheedah, we believe that true confidence begins with the first layer. While knowing your bra size is essential, understanding your unique breast shape is the "hidden" key to finding a fit that feels professional, comfortable, and supportive.
Every body is a masterpiece, and our diverse range of brand models highlights how our collections interact beautifully with every silhouette. According to our guide, here are the 12 most common breast shapes and what defines them:
The Comprehensive Guide to Shapes
Archetypal: Considered the most common shape, these are full and round with a small amount of space between them.
Asymmetrical: It is very common for one breast to be a different size or shape than the other.
Athletic: These tend to be wider with more muscle and less breast tissue, often sitting flatter against the chest.
Bell Shape: Narrower at the top and significantly fuller at the bottom, resembling a bell.
Close Set: Breasts that sit very close together with little to no space in the middle of the chest.
Conical: More common in smaller cup sizes, these are shaped like a cone rather than being round.
East West: Characterized by breasts that gravitate toward the sides of the chest, with nipples pointing outward in opposite directions.
Relaxed: Features breast tissue that hangs slightly downward with nipples pointing toward the floor.
Round: These have equal fullness at both the top and the bottom.
Side Set: There is a wider space in the center of the chest between the breasts.
Slender: Typically narrower and longer than they are wide, often with less fullness at the top.
Teardrop: Similar to the bell shape but with a more gradual, rounded slope that is fuller at the bottom.
Why Shape Matters
Knowing your shape allows you to choose styles that complement your natural form. Whether it’s a balconette for Bell shapes or a plunge for Side Set silhouettes, the right choice ensures your innerwear remains a private ritual of luxury.
Understanding your shape is a celebration of your "hidden" elegance. Whether you are a Round or a Bell shape, Posheedah is here to provide the high-quality foundation your confidence deserves.
