How to choose the right bra

To help you choose your bra according to your body shape, three lingerie experts share the golden rules to follow. Follow the guide to never make a mistake in choosing a bra that fits your bust.

Knowing your bra size, the good advice

Starting with a crucial point: the size of your bra. Many women wear models that are too small or too large, often without even realizing it. Yet, this is the starting point for feeling comfortable in your lingerie. 

Details of the three rules to follow for choosing the right bra : "the neckline should not cut into the breast, the underwire should sit well against the skin under the breast, and finally, when looking at oneself in profile, the back should not ride up. If this is the case, you need to take a size smaller (for example, a 90 instead of a 95), if the cup "lifts" under the breast or if the neckline "cuts", then you will need to take a larger cup size."

Tips for choosing a bra: which style according to your outfit?

The choice of bra will indeed also depend on the outfit. With a fitted dress or top. : "The Nina Perfect Skin underwear is perfectly invisible under clothing. They are true second skins as they are seamless and wire-free. Under a sheer blouse, a fitted dress, or white slim jeans, they are completely invisible." 

For "Wearing a plunging neckline, several options are available to you: The push-up or padded bras enhance necklines, especially for smaller busts. For fuller busts, the balconette shapes create a nice plump effect, provided the cut allows it and the neckline is sufficiently open." 

As for tops or backless dresses, it's towards the removable strap bra or multi-position bras. Models that completely adapt to your outfit and go totally incognito under an open back. 

 

What bra styles for a natural look?

"Today, natural beauty is more than ever in the spotlight in lingerie collections. Padded models have given way to alternatives that trace the natural lines of the bust, while slightly enhancing it to highlight its beauty." 

 

What bra for large breasts? 

When making a bra size D,E,F or more, the chosen bra must combine support and comfort. A combo that, fortunately, is becoming increasingly easy to find within lingerie collections. While the minimizer bra, which aims to minimize breast volume, is often sought after by those with larger busts, it is far from being the only option. 

"However, the new lingerie trends that are less form-fitting, like the bralette for example, are not to be completely dismissed; on the contrary. "Ct's a trend that comes from the fact that undergarments are also worn as outerwear. No restrictions for larger busts; today, with all the shapes available, the bralette adapts to everyone."

Another omnipresent trend for several seasons now: the bodysuit. Again, by choosing the right model, those with a generous bust can wear it without fearing a loss of support. "We recommend opting for bodysuits with structured necklines in cups or with underbust seams, as the curve of the breast will be more emphasized."

Bra for small breasts: the styles to adopt

Those who wear a small cup can turn to the wireless bras that will offer comfort and light support. To enhance the bust, padded bras just at the underwire will create a nice push-up effect. 

More and more women who do not particularly need support or who wish to completely free themselves from wearing a bra are opting for the no-bra trend. Some also choose small accessories like silicone nipple covers or adhesive cups.
