I've found the best bras for bigger busts, and they don't sacrifice style for support
When it comes to choosing the right bra for you, knowing your bra size is crucial. Our bodies change dramatically throughout our lifetime, and many women are wearing the wrong bra size, so before investing in new bras, make sure you know which size you need. Brands such as Elomi offer a free online bra fitting service, so you don't even need to leave the house to double-check your size and fit.
But even once your size is sorted, there's no guarantee that all the bras out there will work for you. It helps to know if a bra will have an uncomfortable underwire or annoying straps, so I tested a range of bras for bigger busts to find the very best.
How I tested
I tested lots of bras by wearing each for a minimum of eight hours. I wore the bras while working from home, walking the dog and travelling into London on the train. I was looking for bras that were super comfortable, supportive, breathable and adjustable for different outfits. I also wanted to try various fashion-forward styles, as having a larger chest shouldn't mean missing out on the latest trends.

Elsewhere in recent days, Ferne gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at what she typically eats in a day as she shared a candid video to Instagram. The clip kicked off with Ferne drinking a zesty juice shot in her pyjamas to get her day started with a burst of energy, before breaking into a cheeky dance in her kitchen. Next up, she raided her fridge to whip up what appeared to be a strawberry protein shake, keeping things fresh and fruity. For lunch, the former TOWIE star fried up some juicy harissa prawns and chickpeas before assembling a vibrant salad bowl packed with lettuce, red onion, avocado, fruit and crumbled feta – all topped off with a generous squeeze of lemon. Switching up her look, Ferne slipped into a skimpy red activewear set that showed off her washboard abs as she tucked into her colourful lunch.

James Middleton shares rare video of 'cheeky' son Inigo as toddler plays with family dogs and hikes with his mother on sun-soaked holiday
James Middleton has shared a touching message for his 'adventurous' and 'cheeky' son ahead of the toddler's second birthday in October. The brother of the Princess of Wales posted a heartwarming video of Inigo wandering through the countryside with his mother, Alizée Thevenet, and their dogs. The tot was seen throwing sticks into a small creek and even trying to push his mother into the water at one point. In the short clip, Inigo donned a khaki green dungarees romper, a blue T shirt and a sun hat to cover his face from the summer sunshine. Reflecting on Inigo's forthcoming birthday, James, 37, took to Instagram to post the candid clip alongside a heartfelt message celebrating the joy his son has brought into their lives. James wrote in his caption: 'My adventurous (and cheeky) little boy how are you nearly two already. 'Everyone says it goes fast…but I didn't realise it would be this fast'. The businessman and mental health advocate, who is known for his love of the outdoors and his close bond with his dogs, rarely shares intimate glimpses of family life. However, the sweet video offered his followers a unique look into the wholesome adventures that the family enjoy. James' followers rushed to the comments section to share their best wishes for Inigo - with one noting he would have a blast with his cousin, the Prince and Princess of Wales' youngest son, Prince Louis. One person wrote: 'I can imagine him and Prince Louis having a very fun mischievous time!' Another said: 'So precious. Thank you for sharing such a sweet clip of your darling family.' Someone else wrote: 'Gosh, he really is getting so big. AND he gets around so very well.' A fourth added: 'I love his spirit and adventurous nature.' James and Alizée, who tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in the South of France in 2021, welcomed Inigo in October 2023. Since then, James has occasionally posted glimpses of their rural life together, often surrounded by dogs, fields, and fresh air. James, who founded dog food company Ella & Co and has been open about his past struggles with depression, has previously credited nature, animals, and now fatherhood with transforming his mental health. In April, James shared another sweet glimpse into family life with his son Inigo and wife Alizée to celebrate his own birthday. Posted a sweet home video to his Instagram account, James filmed his 18-month-old happily eating breakfast outside with two of their dogs sat on the bench nearby. A very cheery Inigo then took to the seat of a red tractor, while Alizée watched on with the family's dogs. Wearing a personalised gilet, reading James&Ella - the name of James's dog food company - Inigo threw some feed to the family's chickens. Sharing the rare glimpse into family life, James reflected that there was 'no better birthday present' than spending time with his family. He wrote in his caption: 'Thank you, 38. I'm right where I'm meant to be. There is no better birthday present than that ❤️ 'Fresh air, wagging tails, and the wild, beautiful rhythm of family life. 'Moving in sync, tails wagging. On a journey, with Inigo at the wheel, headed wherever life takes us. 'Filled with joy, love and just the right amount of chaos.' James has frequently shared his love of dogs, and currently owns six: Zulu, Inka, Luna, Mabel, Nala and Isla. James is a breeder of cocker spaniels, and even gifted Kate and William his beloved black spaniel Orla in 2020, who has since appeared in several posts shared by the family - including Kate's cancer recovery video last year. He wrote a book about his beloved pup Ella, who passed away in 2023, and recently released a book called Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, which has been described as a 'love letter to man's best friend'. Last month, James shared an adorable tribute to his wife Alizee to celebrate Mother's Day. Kate's younger brother shared a gorgeous snap of Alizee and their son Inigo, one, to Instagram on Sunday. Alizee looked as glamorous as ever in a red knitted jumper as she stood enjoying the English countryside sunshine. She was holding Inigo, whom they welcomed in September 2023, who wore a knitted jumper with embroidered tractors as he faced away from the camera. James sweetly captioned the photo, writing: 'Happy Mothers to all the amazing Mothers but an extra bit of love for this one.' His sister Kate has also shared a photo to mark Mother's Day, as she shared a powerful video about healing in nature.
