Which Of These Seven Types Of Breasts Do You Have?

Ever wondered how many different types of breasts exist?
Well, research shows that a lot of men think there are two types of breasts, big or small, but this fact is wrong in a lot of ways and your mind is about to get blown by the types and variations that exist.
Research conducted by a bra company known as ThirdLove, says there are at least seven different types of breasts that graze the female anatomy.
The company discovered that fit was very important during their design process and it helped women in identifying the style and type of bra that best suits the shape of their boobs. The truth however is that all types of boobs are normal and beautiful in their own way and it is best for every woman to know their type of breasts and the bras that go with them as you never know when this knowledge can come in handy.
Here are the 7 types of boobs you never knew existed and the best type of bras that go with them.
Bell Shaped Breasts
breasts bell shaped
These types of breasts are usually narrow at the top and fuller towards the bottom making them heavy. The best type of bras for women with this type are full coverage bras. This is because the heavy breasts, which drag down the shoulders can cause the bra straps to slip, thereby reducing support.
Round Breasts
breasts round
Round Breasts are full from top to bottom and are most times enhanced surgically. Balconette styled bras help to show the perky nature of the breasts. Round Boobs have the advantage of being able to pull off very good looks and appearance.
East West Breasts 
breasts east west
These breasts are characterised by a slope from the top to the bottom which also moves to the outer sides. The nipples usually point in opposite directions. The general consensus is that T-shirt styled bras or push up bras are best for east west boobs because they help to flatter the shape of the boobs while also bringing them closer.
Asymmetric Breasts 
breasts assymetric
A lot of women have these types of breasts. Asymmetric breasts are distant in that one breast is larger than the other and it may not be noticeable at all (minor) to something very pronounced (major). The best type of bras for women with this type are bras with removable pads. The pads can be worn on the smaller side to provide a more even outlook.
Side Set Breasts
breasts side set
These breasts have a wide space between them with the nipples pointing sharply forward than those of the East West. Balconette styled bras which have a lot of fabric lying above the bra cups help to hide the large gaps between the breasts.
Tear Drop Breasts
breasts tear drops
These breasts have a gentler slope than those of the bell shape and the slope are easily visible from the side. The deeper neckline and cups of plunge style bras help to fill in the shallower top part of the boobs.
Slender Breasts
breasts slender
Slender Breasts are a little wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. They are also generally skinny and have very little breast tissues. Plunge style bras lacking in push-up materials are best because they help to pull the breasts towards the middle of the chest to give the impression of a bigger cleavage.

Rules Of Men's Dressing (1)

We all have our set set of rules to achieve a splendid day to day look. But some rules of dressing have however held universally true irrespective of social class, colour or appearance. No matter the style of dressing you decide to put on, several factors are to be put in consideration if you don’t want to appear stupid, under dressed or overdressed for any particular occasion. It is also important to put the kind of event to which you intend to appear into mind as this will form a basis for which your appearance is judged.

More so, Some elements of male dressing remain true irrespective of the occasion. However, it is important to note that style is individual and relative. Some might disagree with the assertions we give here, just as we might not agree with what they believe is the perfect style thus, holding it true that there is no perfect and comprehensive set of rules for male dressing. The rules described here are derived from common sense, classical and traditional rules of dressing. For us, the following are a set of rules which we believe every young gentleman should follow to have the ideal look.
Matching of metals

Certain rules can never be rebuffed and that is true for the matching of metals. Metals have been a part of male dressing from time immemorial. Some of the rules of metal matching includes matching the metal on your loafers with that of the buckle of your belt or that of your cufflinks with the metals on your suspenders. More so, it is preferable to match the metal of your watch with other metals you’re wearing but it is however not compulsory to do so.
Socks

Fir a long time, it has been thought that a man’s socks should match his pants. This is true but with modifications in fashion style, exceptions have risen to the rule. To appear conservative, it is necessary to match the colour of your socks with that of your pants, however, you can also match the colour of your socks with that of anything worn above the waist. That is, either of shirt, tie, suspenders or pocket squares.
Belts
Fashionable-Belts_01
Belts have since become an important part of male dressing and ensuring you wear the appropriate belt or suspenders as the case may be for the right occasion is as important as the type of shoe or shirt you wear. The first most important rule is to make sure to wear a belt with pants with belt loops. Pants without belt loops will usually come with side taps and buttons to hold suspenders. Remember also not to use your belt to hold various accessories such as phones, keys and ID tags.
Suspenders
Leather Suspenders
Suspenders have moved from core popular British culture to the rest of the world and has gained ground as a cool fashion accessory among the young at heart. However, suspenders do not look cool without a jacket on except you want to look like a hipster. Also, suspenders are best used with buttons instead of the clips some of them come with.
Ties
Denim-jacket-madras-tie-streetstyle-men-fashion
Ties are cool fashion items that adds a bit of seriousness to the wearer. It is best ideal for business and executive settings and may still be worn for social and corporate events. However, it is best ideal to wear a jacket with a tie but that may not be cool for people in hot climes as ours. Ties have been known to be worn with matching pocket squares, but this doesn’t appear cool for the new generation as wearing contrast patterns and designs will add a bit more style to your appearance.

What A Man’s Shoes Say About His Personality (2)

Last time out, we talked about some different types of shoes men wear and the types of personality such shoes exude.


The truth is we acknowledge that one’s personality cannot be determined entirely from one’s shoes, and as such, we do not suggest writing off a man just because his shoes aren’t attractive but nonetheless, we have a partial love for men who wear good shoes.
As humans, one can either care about what people think of you or not care about their opinions. Regardless of the category you find yourself in, your choice of footwear may have been sending out the wrong message. Whether you bought your shoes because they are cheap, comfortable or you allow people shop for you, be reminded that your choice of shoes maybe ruining your entire appearance.
We shall continue in the same vein with some more common shoes men wear and what those shoes say about them.

Loafers are trendy and if you choose this, you’re definitely on the right track to getting people’s approval. Suede loafers that come in neutral colours are comfortable and trendy.

Sneakers

It is however awkward wearing thongs with formal outfits which may make you appear out of place.
Boat shoes

Boat shoes have been worn for a long time by teenage boys and are still trending in modern day perhaps due to the comfortable laid-back style. It exudes the freedom characteristic of teenage years where being hippy is the fad. They are a good choice when worn with chinos or shorts.

Thus, if you don’t fall in these category of people, then you had better have a worthy excuse for choosing this type of footwear.
High-tops

Athletic in nature, the high-tops can make people mistake you for a basketballer or a wannabe. High-tops signify you as someone gunning for the top. It is however best to avoid it except you have a deep fashion knowledge that would enable you choose the most appropriate brand that suits you.
Lastly, whatever shoe you choose, it is important you’re comfortable in it irrespective of what people think of how you appear in them.
