The Art of Mastering Tasteful Underboob

Thank you, Dua Lipa!

by REBECCA CARR ★ JUNE 29, 2022

We can all agree that we love a good bikini top for the summer, and I know it has crossed all our minds at least once to have an underboob moment. Underboob has always been a double-edged sword that is a risk or reward. Underboob is definitely something that has to be mastered, especially if you want to prevent the infamous nip-slip.

Dua Lipa has been on everyone’s google searches lately about how she is making underboob the statement look of the summer. Dua Lipa has upped her fashion game this past year and now she is one of the most fashion-forward celebrities that we have seen so far; so when it comes to underboob, we trust her. 

 
 

The Traveler’s Guide to Underboob:

#1: Pick a top you feel comfortable with

 Style and comfort go hand and hand. When you feel comfortable, your inner hot girl comes out where you can confidently slay the day. With cutout tops and bikinis in style, this trend is meant for everyone with a chest no matter how big or small. 

 
 

#2: Pick a size that is perfect for you

Underboob can be a risk or reward kind of situation where you want to make sure the size you are getting for yourself is a bit smaller than a regular top, but not too small where you feel tightness in your chest that is uncomfortable and simply looks like it does not fit. Picking a size or experimenting with different brand sizing is essential when mastering the underboob.

#3: Drunk Proof Your Top

Although doing an underboob moment seems like a spur-of-the-moment decision, practice always makes perfect. Experimenting with different styles and sizes is a must before you face the frat or bar scene because we want to make sure your top is drunk-proof (this is the part where the double-sided comes out to play). We definitely want to prove that if we are going out and drinking that we can handle the responsibility of getting messy while avoiding a public nip slip (there’s nothing more embarrassing than the thought of accidentally flashing Chad from Psychology 101). Wearing your top at home during your off day is perfect practice to make sure your top can last through the night.

 
 

#4: Maybe Not Underboob Everywhere…

Being tasteful is all about knowing where and when to be sexy. Of course, we love being sexy and confident, but an underboob look is definitely not the best place for work or family dinner (unless we want to give Dad a heart attack). 

Now that we have the basics of mastering underboob, it is the perfect time to experiment and be on trend with Dua Lipa. Although trying a new risky look can be scary, it can diversify our wardrobe and become a fun look that can be styled in so many different ways to give you that extra mmph when going on your next girl’s night.
