Bond-Eye Halter swimsuit

If You're Big on Top...


This halter-neck maillot gives a discreet glimpse of cleavage ($165, up to size 40F; Bond-Eye).

Keep in Mind:
  • Solids are always a good bet, but geometric designs can also counter fullness.
  • Springy fabrics, like nylon and Lycra, lift breasts, making you look leaner all over.
  • Halters emphasize shoulders.
  • If you want to minimize, choose a darker color.
  • Sturdy straps and real underwire built right into the suit provide the best support.
  • Always, always, always go for a wide strap.
