This is even more pronounced in the language/approach our male customers have. There are very clear social messages which have changed with generation that are fascinating to watch. Likewise, most of the 'oh I can't be X size because it's 'vulgar'/'I have to minimize'/'I have to be a certain shape' comes from Gen X and older. For example, Gen X women are (generally) way more concerned about the fat squeezing out of their bra bands than Millennial or Zoomer women even though they all have it. I was talking with my coworker about this today actually: Gen X women are in an uncomfortable position of being raised in an era of mass media and unattainable ideals without the ability to talk to one another openly and anonymously that Millennials/Gen Z/Alpha have. I imagine the teen awkwardness will persist for a long time (although I'm unsure, some of the girls specifically talk about the reactions of boys around them and our idea of acceptable male adolescent behavior is changing rapidly).

The bell curves of physique are certainly full of unwanted remarks and suppositions.Īge and how it relates to life experience. Meanwhile, practical matters of naturally large chests are clouded by all of this.
And on the woman's side, there's a question of "do I want to stand out" that leads towards staying within the trend of natural, and therefore towards considering surgical enhancements that disguise the true intent. It could easily be the case that more men enjoy pointy chests and don't have the background needed to ask for it, so they ask for "large" instead, but are in turn influenced by media into a form of "large" that is unbelievable(much as how standards for muscularity and fitness have become driven by drug usage, and so imagery of "powerful" characters in fiction now often tends towards monstrous cartoon proportions and near-fainting leanness). These questions occur rather independent of the actual size of a natural bustline. Is it simple ignorance of the difference? Is it the artist projecting the shape they want onto the figure? This kind of art, being a private fantasy, suggests thoughts that ordinarily wouldn't be spoken. And this trend towards a natural look probably wasn't just an isolated cultural trend or down to technical changes in bras themselves, since it came along with the growing popularity of surgical breast implants implants disguise themselves much better.Īnd yet, sometimes one will come across horny art where naked women are drawn with an unnatural, torpedo shaped bust, as if they were wearing an invisible bullet bra.
From the 60's on, perceptually natural shapes became more popular.
But this look was unmistakably of an era. Besides lifting the profile to an unnaturally perky shape, it did succeed at providing comfort. In the midcentury the cone or "bullet bra" was really in vogue. Something that seems to be lost in the differences between "horny men craving the DD's" and "women figuring out a practical dress" is the fashion statement made with particular styles of bra, size vs shape preferences, and the relationship of bras to other cosmetic treatments.
