How to Find the Best Bra Style for Your Breast Type

Despite the fact that we at Glamour spend an inordinate amount of time discussing bras (Seriously: One time Nikki and I discussed a certain sports bra's "unparalleled support" for over an hour. After work. On the sidewalk.), I have to admit that I hadn't given much thought to the idea that certain breast types might require different bra styles. Weird right? I know. Somehow, amid all the ruminating about bra fittings, bra straps, bra colors, bra care, bra shopping, and bra-skipping we've been forgetting the whole point of the bras themselves—the breasts. Duh.
