With the nice weather just around the corner, it’s only natural that we want to uncover a little bit. So the time has come to recap the ideal necklines to enhance the different types of décolleté: small, medium or prosperous, the bust is a fundamental part of the woman’s silhouette and the type of neckline you choose can highlight and proportion it, enhancing it to the fullest.
That’s why we’ve created this guide to choosing the perfect neckline to help you understand all the different types of décolletage and which ones suit you best.
Top necklines for a small bust
A small chest can be very feminine and elegant. You just have to choose the right garments and necklines, knowing how to enhance your strengths: the absence of curves in the décolleté can be transformed into a symphony of curves and sensuality.
V-Neck
- One of the perks of being small-chested is that no matter how deep the V-neck, you’ll never look too vulgar. Even better if it’s tight-fitting and has a push-up effect!
- Pro-tip: choose a silk dress with a V-neckline and spaghetti straps, the sliding fabric will gently lean against your breasts and underline the absence of underwear: chic and sexy!
Halter neck
- This neckline optically enlarges the upper body, adding some volume.
- Pro-tip: particularly recommended for women with athletic shoulders.
Bardot Neckline
- This 50s-inspired neckline adds volume around it and creates a horizontal line on the figure: perfect for petite women who want to enhance their bust and add volume.
- Pro-tip: the ideal neckline if you have a triangular figure because it brings attention to the upper part of the body, and in particular the shoulders.
Draped neckline
- A soft neckline, which, thanks to the drape, increases the volume of the cups. We can find this type of décolleté in all types of necklines, from the V-shaped to the bardot one.
- Pro-tip: a classic from the early ‘00s, it’s now back on trend!

Ideal necklines for a large bust
Here are the best necklines that will balance your figure and make it look more harmonious.
Roundneck or scoop neck
- Not too deep and not too high, the secret here is in the balance. It’s perfect to balance the silhouette and give a chic twist to your outfit.
- Pro-tip: choose a slouchy, soft fabric that leans on the body without adding more volume.
Wrapped neckline
- This type of neckline wraps and supports the breast, creating soft curves without adding volume.
- Pro-tip: choose it, especially if you have a triangle-shaped figure.
Heart shaped neckline
- A retrò vibe that is super feminine and romantic, it holds up the breast and enhances the shoulders and neckline.
- Pro-tip: choose a bustier with a heart shaped neckline and pair it with denim for a modern take of this item.
Straight neckline
- It might come as a surprise, but adding a straight line to a voluminous chest will create a sort of “interruption” on the figure, that won’t add volume but a chic and timeless touch.
- Choose it in a solid colour, no print, and pair it with classic wide-leg pants.
