Which Type of Bra Should You Choose?

Finding the right bra can help you look good and stay comfortable. Depending on what you’re wearing, a bra can either enhance your outfit or look awkward and distracting, so if you want to feel confident every day, you need to find the perfect bra for both your shape and your personal style.

Since there are so many different styles of bra to choose from, you’re bound to find one that’s right for you. Whether you prefer a plunge bra, t-shirt bra, bandeau bra, or bralette, you can discover a wide variety of sizes and colors in the women's bras collections on the SKIMS website. 

T-shirt bra

The t-shirt bra is a classic style that suits so many shapes, outfits, and occasions. Most commonly, t-shirt bras are fantastic for casual outfits since they’re seamless and comfortable. A t-shirt bra or seamless wireless bra, is also a great choice because they can offer the right amount of support for you - if you have a fuller bust and need more support, then you can find t-shirt bras with underwire and strong straps, but if you want to sacrifice some support for comfort, you can find wireless bras in softer fabrics.

Plunge bra

When you’re wearing a very low-cut or V-neck top or dress, you need a bra that can offer support and lift without being visible. In this case, plunge bras are the perfect option because they drop down low and don’t cover up your cleavage. In addition, plunge bras are often padded, so they’re popular among women with smaller breasts who want to feel more confident in low-cut outfits.

Balconette bra

Another option for tops and dresses with low necklines is the balconette bra. Due to its wider straps and shorter cups, creating a more horizontal shape at the top, the balconette bra is particularly suited to outfits with low and wide necklines, such as square necklines and sweetheart necklines. However, since the cups of balconette bras are shorter and not full-coverage, they may not offer as much support as other bras.

Bralette

Bralettes are a stylish yet comfortable choice for those who want their bras to be lightweight and unrestrictive. Bralettes are often made of materials like lace and don’t feature any underwire, which makes them very comfy and easy to wear. However, since there’s no underwire and the material is very thin, bralettes don’t offer a lot of support and may be best suited to those with smaller breasts. 

Bandeau bra

Another highly comfortable option is the bandeau bra. This bra is shaped like a tube top, which means it doesn’t have any annoying seams, hooks, or straps. In addition, it offers fuller coverage, and it’s also an extremely comfortable bra that you can wear with casual outfits. Overall, the bandeau bra is the perfect option for those who want a comfortable, easy-to-wear bra that still offers lift and support.

Sometimes, choosing the right bra style can be pretty overwhelming. Follow this helpful guide to discover the ideal bra for both your shape and your personal style.
