When we watch the Fall/Winter runway trends emerge six months prior to the weather itself, we can't help but get giddy with pure excitement. We amass quite the arsenal of looks we're going to debut with the Winter chill that show off all of the most exciting colors and patterns that are about to have a huge moment. And, as the temperature begins to drop, we're given the gift of a multitude of street style stars who do the same, only adding to the anticipation we already feel.
As we mentally scan the trends that are coming up with fervor, though, those larger-chested among us know that it isn't always so easy as to snap your fingers and slip into something that might not have as much support; boast ruffles, statement necks, and have too-chunky materials; or generally make us feel as though we've lost our body's natural shape with something oversize or boxy.
Ahead, find five of our favorite Fall and Winter 2019 trends that also happen to be totally flattering for small and large-chested alike. Get ready to upgrade that wardrobe just in time for the coldest season of the year.
1 Bustier-Style Top
For those statement-making tops, reach for styles that offer a bit more support than others. Whether hidden boning or a full boudoir-inspiration on display, make sure to stock up on bustier-style top this Fall and Winter to wear with everything from skirt to trousers to jeans and more.

2 Robe Coat
When you want to easily nip yourself in at the waist for Fall and Winter (but want to make sure that you can layer as much as you would like), look no further than a robe coat. Whether a teddy bear shearling or a more classic black wool, it's the most chic, easiest coat silhouette to wear, to matter your body shape or size.

3 Cinched-In Waist
With a larger bust size, tops or dresses that accommodate your cup size might make you feel a little too tent-like. To remedy, opt for dresses that nip in at the waist to accentuate your natural curve and shape of your body, especially around the holiday season!

4 Sleeve Detailing on Sweaters
Chest detailing on sweaters might prove to be a bit of a problem for those with larger bust sizes, but now is the time to indulge in a little sleeve-centric style. Go for everything from a subtle ruffle or flutter to a bolder puff sleeve to keep it interesting all season long.

5 Lace Underwire Bras
If your chest line is often more visible with lower necklines than those of the smaller cup size variety, consider making sure that your lingerie looks as pretty as what you've layered on top. Be proud to show off that little bit of lace that falls above a scoop-neck knit or peeks out from the top of a silk camisole for a night out on the town.

6 One-Shoulder Tops
Strapless tops can be tricky for the bustier style-lovers, so a one-shoulder top (whether tank, short, or with long sleeves) is a great alternative. Whether a statement sleeve or sleek bodysuit, a one-shoulder top will allow you to show a little skin while still maintaining the support of a classic top.

7 Tie-Front Menswear Button-Downs
With a menswear-style button-down, it's all about the styling. We love the button-front for ease-of-wear, allowing us to pull it up to the neck or show a little skin at our leisure. In an effort to make sure the oversize top doesn't dwarf your frame, though, fashion a little tie or half-tuck right at your waistline (where your top effortlessly kisses the top of your pants or skirt).
