The Best Cardigan Sweaters for Your Shape

If You Have a Large Bust

Look for: V-necks. “The diagonal lines have a slimming effect, and the buttons start lower, so there’s less pulling across the chest,” says Bridgette Raes, the author of Style Rx. To streamline the torso, choose a fine-gauge knit with a trim fit, says Susan White, the president of the knit label White + Warren.

Avoid: Crewnecks, chunky knits, and details at the bust. Steer clear of wide or dolman sleeves: “They blend in with the chest, making you seem bigger up top,” says Raes.
