For women with narrow shoulders, loose bra straps might be a major problem. Here are our top recommendations to overcome the issue.

Best Bras for Narrow Shoulders:

• Strapless bra– If slipping straps is your problem, then go with strapless bras.
• U-back bra- These are best for women with narrow shoulders and large breasts. The wideband and straps provide good support. The design for the straps helps prevent slippage.
• Racerback bra- It is our top recommendation as you cannot expect a slippage in a racerback bra.
• Plunge bra- It is also a good option as it is specially designed for close-set breasts.

2) Average

If your shoulders are not too narrow and not too broad, you are the luckiest. You can mostly flaunt any bra style effortlessly.

Best Bras for Average Shoulders:

• Underwired bra- It will also make sure to give extreme support to your breasts, focusing on the straps.
• Front closure bra- The closure is present in the front in order to create a smooth silhouette.
• T-shirt bra- It is designed to give a seamless look and is perfect for any type of shoulders.

3) Broad

If your shoulders look squared rather than rounded, you might have broad shoulders. We are listing our 4 top recommendations to help you out.

Best Bras for Broad Shoulders:

• Push-up bra- It will push the breasts inward and upward, allowing your bra straps to stay in place.
• Balconette bra- The straps are set wide apart, hence are perfect for supporting your broad shoulders.
