Fashion favourites - The push-up bra gets the number 1 vote

It's official - our cleavage is more important to us than a visible panty line!

A poll conducted recently by Debenhams, a British department store, asked 3,000 of their customers about their fashion favourites. The push-up bra came up number 1, with almost 20 per cent of the vote. Other favourites were the boot cut jean (definitely flattering for most body shapes), the strapless bra and trainer socks.

Here is the top 20:

  1. Push-up bra
  2. Boot cut jeans
  3. Pull-in pants
  4. Stilettos
  5. LBD (Little black dress)
  6. Hipster jeans
  7. Mini skirt
  8. Strapless bra
  9. Support tights
  10. Kitten heels
  11. Stockings
  12. Sports bra
  13. G-string
  14. Flip flops (thongs for Aussie/NZ's)
  15. Chicken fillets (the ones that go inside your bra!)
  16. Pencil skirts
  17. Hot pants
  18. Boy-shorts
  19. Trainer socks
  20. Comfortable trainers

It's amazing, when you look over this list you realise how much we take for granted. There is no way our grandmothers would have been walking about with comfortable trainers and socks, their hipster jeans and a push-up bra! Trousers weren't even an acceptable option for women in the past.

Caroline Adams of Debenhams sums it up well. "Fashion items that can help create the perfect silhouette have become must-have items for women and there is no shame in faking the body beautiful." If it's available to us, why not feel good about ourselves. So girls, grab your push-up bras and your stilettos, and go get 'em!

Funny enough my most flattering item is my black maternity pants, they seem to hold in the wabbly hips and support my wabbly tummy just nicely, loved them when pregnant and love them even more now.

I'm with you Sus and Melz LOL I had to laugh at your comment Sus cause thats exactly what I would say. I do like my bootcut jeans, sports bras & trench coat. I can't wear stilettos or shoes with heels that much because my "bunions" play up and get really sore, so at home I usually wear flatter shoes and a short heel at work.

Me too - they also don't make them in my size.... if I wore a push up bra, I would not only enter a room 1/2 hour before the rest of my body, but I would probably know someone out in the process. I'm into the 'minimizer' bra LOL

They don't make push up bra's in my size, probably lucky, otherwize i'd suffocate. But i do love my boot leg jeans. Definately flattering for most figures.
