Turtlenecks make your torso look looooong. They can also give your bust a flatter profile and cling to every detail underneath. Now we love some fashion texture, but we don’t advise showing off your bra seams, straps, and lace to the world — especially atop a set of girls that are drooping.<\/p>\n
Avoid that fate by keeping these tips in mind when shopping for a turtleneck-appropriate bra.<\/p>\n
Look for lift<\/h3>\n
A turtleneck’s high neckline visually elongates the space between your bust and your chin. This can bring unwanted attention to a sagging bustline. It can even make a perky set of boobs look less lively.<\/p>\n
Counteract that effect by opting for a bra with a natural lift. Try light padded, molded-cup, and subtle push-up bra designs as your first options. Note that fully padded bras that promise to add a size could be too aggressive for a body-hugging knit.<\/p>\n
Style and fabric matter<\/h3>\n
Most turtleneck knits are clingy. That cling-factor can expose any and all embellishments on your bra. Unless it’s stay-at-home date night, you probably don’t want that kind of attention.<\/p>\n
Find a bra with smooth, seamless construction. The simpler, the better. Seamless cups, flat edges, and wireless designs work well. Wireless styles are the most forgiving since wires can create extra lines and ridges. You’ll want to avoid lace, bows, and textures. Suitable fabrics include microfiber, spacer foam, and ultra-thin molded foam.<\/p>\n
Prioritize fit<\/h3>\n
You don’t want a bra that’s too tight or too loose under a turtleneck because it will show any gaping, spilling, and pinching. If you haven’t had a bra fitting in recent history, get one. A professional can provide an educated and objective opinion on what size you need, and which brands can deliver on the seamless, smooth style you want. You can wear other bras that don’t fit as well under looser garments. But always wear your best bra under a turtleneck. <\/p>\n

The shoulder straps should be fully adjustable and the band should have multiple hooks and eyes. Bras do stretch out over time, so avoid styles that only fit you when adjusted as tight as possible.<\/p>\n Bras that have convertible straps that can be worn racerback or criss-cross are nice also. You may find that one strap position is more flattering than another, especially underneath a tight knit sweater.<\/p>\n Bras are best purchased in-store unless you already know the brands and sizes that fit you perfectly. To buy a good bra for a turtleneck, wear your thinnest high-neck top to the dressing room. Check your silhouette carefully. Move around and see if any lines or bulges pop up. It’s also worthwhile to test out the bra in natural light — which you usually cannot do before you pay for the garment. So hang on to those receipts and repeat your try-on process at home, with the adding step of walking outside.<\/p>\n You can also try layering a smooth camisole between your bra and the turtleneck. The cami can minimize chafing and mask minor bumps and lumps.<\/p>\n Read next: How to wear a turtleneck stylishly<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n ThirdLove’s fan-favorite wireless bra combines lift and invisibility.
