23 bikinis for small chests according to someone with B-cup boobs, from triangle bikinis to push-up styles

Every April, my quest for the best bikinis for small chests begins. I’m a B-cup, and while my wardrobe holds its fair share of epic bikinis that I love to wear year after year, I’m practically incapable of booking a summer holiday without treating myself to something new. 

For the flatter-chested among us, bikini shopping admittedly isn’t too much of a gripe. Shopping for the best bikinis for big busts is, undeniably, much harder, and my bigger-busted friends often find it tricky to find something with ample coverage, support and lift. 

When it comes to the best bikinis for small boobs, however, there is choice aplenty. I’m grateful that I can be a lot more experimental with shapes, cuts and styles – from triangle bikinis to skimpy bandeaus and wrap-around, tie-up options (without worrying about any *ahem* fall-out). You may simply be looking for inspiration for a few fabulous new styles. 

Of course, you might not feel super confident about having smaller boobs. In which case, your quest for the most flattering bikinis for small chests may be powered by a desire for a little more lift and cleavage. Relatable? We’ve got you. 

Bust enhancing swimwear is a thing, and from padded bikinis for small chests to push-up bikinis, many of the styles down below will serve up welcome oomph. Abercrombie’s multi-way and upside down bikini tops are worth particular note for the new season: you can turn their recycled multi-way bralette upside down and cross the straps in such a way that your boobs will be pulled closer together. Cleavage: incoming. 

Elsewhere, H&M have released a few different push-up options (namely, this powder blue bikini top which has padded cups for larger busts and a fuller cleavage), and Calzedonia stocks a push-up bikini top with extended cups that are lightly padded to emphasise the natural shape of the bust while offering a bit of extra something.
