Support means something different for every woman, and every body. To help guide you through this sometimes intimidating process, we've broken down all the bra styles and their benefits to your wardrobe. The bra landscape is constantly evolving, and understanding the different types of bras is essential in helping you find a bra that makes you feel comfortable and authentically you. It is more than just about the size; it is understanding how different bra types work with different bodies, occasions, and outfits.
Bras are more than just undergarments; they're the foundation of a confident and comfortable outfit. The right bra can smooth lines, create flattering silhouettes, and even boost your posture. Whether you're seeking everyday comfort, red-carpet glamor, or adaptive solutions, today's bra market offers an unprecedented range of options to suit every need and preference.
Made to be completely invisible under even your thinnest T-shirt, the T-Shirt bra is perfect for when you’re not sure what you’re going to wear, or where you’ll be going, but you just need to be comfortable.
The Plunge bra is made to lift you up, and hold you in. The angled cups form to the natural curve of your breasts to keep you held in, with broader straps for extra coverage and security against nip slips.
Closely related to the traditional plunge bra, the Uplift Plunge bra is a modern take on a classic push up bra. A lower amount of coverage with angled cups and a v-neckline, the Uplift Plunge brings your breasts together to emphasize your natural cleavage.
A full-coverage design, the Perfect Coverage is ideal for those who are looking for extra comfort and support without hiding your natural curves.
A comfort-focused silhouette, the Wireless bra is made for the support and lift expected of a well-fitting bra, without the wire.
If slipping straps are a constant problem for you, then you need a great Racerback. With straps that come together in the back, and a convenient front closure, a Racerback bra is great for a little extra strap security and easy dressing.
The name says it all: support without the straps. A great Strapless bra will stay up and support you no matter what, and is ideal not just for a strapless shirt or dress, but any kind of complicated sleeve situation.
Not to be confused with a strapless bra, a Multi-Way bra includes straps that you can adjust and reattach to completely customize the fit and style of your bra, earning its place as one of your most versatile bras in your top drawer.
A lower-cut bra with wider-set straps, the Balconette is made to lift and emphasize your natural cleavage. Think of it as a literal balcony, or shelf, for your breasts. A classic silhouette, this is a bra you can wear under almost anything, but also a flirtier fit for you to have some fun with.
A great resource for new mamas, a Nursing bra should not only be easy to use for, you guessed it, breastfeeding, but still function the way a classic bra should. It should keep you supported, comfortable, and help you feel your best.
