<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe perfect fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
First thing’s first. If you aren’t which size to pull off the rank, see our guide to figuring out your bra size<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest hindrance to feeling 100 percent confident in a bra for many women is how the bra fits and where it sits. The right bra should snugly contour the breasts, so that it encloses them without constricting or hurting you. The strap around your back should form a horizontal line when you stand at a profile, so that it doesn\u2019t sit too low on your back (and risk slipping off) or ride up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, don\u2019t be afraid of the wires! Underwire is more than just the annoying skeleton that jabs you in your chest from time to time. (It actually shouldn’t do that at all). The wire brings the weight of your breasts forward to lift and shape them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ideally, underwire should sit flat on your rib cage without sticking out or rubbing against your chest. Your breasts should sit in the bra without bulging in any direction or leaving any ridges or gaps \u2014 even if you\u2019re wearing a low-cut or balconette bra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if a bra has your cup size on the tag, you may still need to do some tweaking to make sure it fits you and lasts a long time. After all, you can only make so many trips to the lingerie store! Starting with your bra on the loosest hook possible will give you room to tighten the bra if it starts to slacken with use. Also remember to adjust the straps on your bra so they don\u2019t slide down your shoulders or dig into them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an added note, when in doubt, ask a professional. Stores like Victoria\u2019s Secret and Soma employ professional bra fitters<\/a> who are happy to help you find the bra that will become a staple of your lingerie drawer. Whether you need confirmation on your size, or recommendations on the perfect push-up, the sales associates at your favorite stores are there to help. Don’t be shy about asking for their help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though bras are mainly the unsung hero of outfits, often playing second fiddle to a killer dress or top, they still need to match the occasion. This is for both aesthetic and practical purposes. The wrong bra can throw off an otherwise fierce \u2018fit (hello unwanted bra straps), and it can be harmful by not providing the correct amount of support for certain activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To cover all of your bases, here are nine bras every woman should own for all occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n Your basic, everyday bra should, above all else, be comfortable. Try on many, find the one you love to wear, and then buy a few in different shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n Tee-shirts look better without nipples and bumpy lace showing through. Just saying. Your best option here is to find a bra that’s designed to wear with a tee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n The modern plunge bra may look space-agey, but it’s a lifesaver with deep V necklines and wrap dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n Sports bras<\/a> have come a long way in recent years. They’re both stylish and supportive. As with the everyday bra, comfort is critical \u2014 so stick with the brands that work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n Every girl needs a sexy bra for *special* occasions. Granted, this bra isn’t going to be very practical…but who cares? That’s not the point anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n It’s ok to show a bra strap now and again, but some styles \u2014 like the off-shoulder top \u2014 look better with a strapless undergarment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n Finding the perfect bra may take some work, but it is well worth it. Beginning an outfit with the proper foundation can up your style and you won\u2019t be the only one to notice. Remember, if nothing and no one else has your back, the right bra always will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n Cover all bases with a bra you can wear as strapless, front-halter, one-strap, back-cross, and regular. The extra boost from lining the cups will practically transform any look from nice<\/em> to va-va-voom<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No products found.<\/p>\n\n\n For when all else fails, have a complete stash of nipple petals on hand. Great for those days when you just can\u2019t justify wearing the real deal. Peel and press on a pair of petals and at least cut out the obvious point that you aren\u2019t really wearing anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This post about the best bras to own was originally written in 2011 and last updated in January, 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A bra is probably the most crucial piece of apparel in a woman\u2019s closet.
