With more bra types to choose from than ever before, shopping for the right fit, style, and features can be a little bit overwhelming. It’s a good bet that regardless of your shape, size, or the specific features you’re looking for, there are bras to fit your needs. But how do you find the best bra?
If the choice of bra styles and variations seem to have multiplied since the last time you shopped, you’re probably not imagining things. If you happen to be looking for a sports bra you’ll see compression styles, those with encapsulated cups, criss-cross straps, racerbacks models, pullovers, and more.
Do you need a seamless bra that will disappear under clingy tops or fabrics? Did you know that a plunge bra isn’t just for wearing under low cut tops and dresses? (If your breasts are larger, this kind of bra can lift you in a way that may be better - and more subtle - than a pushup bra).
What about that padded bra that promises to look natural - and when might you want to wear a corset bra? It’s taken decades, but designers have started paying attention to women's needs, wants, and desires when it comes to bras. We’ve got some advice to help you find the best bra for your needs.
