The bras every woman needs
The right fit of your undergarments can make or break your style quotient, and make life particularly uncomfortable. Wearing the perfect bra with the perfect cup and bust size is not enough. Having a variety of styles of bras will allow you to dress for different events and a variety of styles.
Here’s a list of the must-have bras that a woman should have in her drawer:
1. Wireless bras
Also known as t-shirt bras, these bras provide seamless support underneath clingy clothing so that bumps, seams, and straps don’t show through the fabric. Even when breasts are not inside the cups, the cups still hold their shape. These bras are made of thicker materials that ensure better nipple coverage, which is a matter of concern for many women.
2. Bralettes
These are the hottest bra trend right now in the fashion world. These bras are without clasps, often made as a one-piece or slip on, unstructured style that can be worn comfortably under clothing. There are adjustable straps made up from stretchable lace material that can be extended further down to your torso. Bralettes are extremely comfortable yet stylish bras to be worn just as an extra layer insert under a tank top. Those having fuller busts can find bralettes with underwires to keep the busts in place.
3. Sports bras
Workouts tend to be intense that many women need extra support. When you are in your running shoes or hitting the gym, wearing a regular bra will not help brace the impact of a workout. Wearing a regular bra will only add to your discomfort and dig in as you sweat and move. A sports bra is meant for exercise. The super support and the full coverage of a sports bra lower impact along with absorbing the sweat.
4. Strapless bras
As the name suggests these bras are without straps and can be worn under strapless dresses and tops. Strapless bras have wide sides and sewn in silicon stitches to keep your bra in place. When it comes to fitting, it depends on how taut the bands of the bra are. The bands should be very firm to make you feel like your bust is being hugged. Strapless bras should also sit extremely low on your back so the strap doesn’t show. Strapless bras can be somewhat tricky to fit, because of the different construction of the bra cups that range from plunge line to full coverage cups. Bring the outfit along with you when you are shopping for these bras to see if it’s a good fit.
5. Bandeau bras
These bras are shaped like a solid band or strip over the breasts, kind of like a tube top and without straps. There are various kinds of bandeaus with padding and even underwires to lift up the breasts to give you a flattering look.
