How to wear a bra perfectly

It seems easy, because we all more or less do it from adolescence onward, but it's not really that way. It's an object we all own, but very few know about it. And they know how to wear it properly and the right style for the garment they're wearing. It's fair to say that the more we have in our drawers, the better, sorted by color and style. We're talking about that blessing and curse that is the bra. Full of mystery and allure, incredibly versatile, and even the most candidly comfortable. From lace to printed cotton, it speaks volumes about us and how we feel, like few things we own and show or hide, but never too much, can.

Why do we choose the wrong bra? Because we don't fully understand this item, its characteristics, and how to wear it. In this article, I'll talk to you about all this so that you can bring out the best in you, perfect the garments you wear, and above all, feel comfortable. I can't stress enough that the secret to charm is comfort. Being at ease, with yourself and with others, and in the most diverse situations. And dressing for comfort adds charm. Nothing that tightens and pulls, scratches and pinches, or slips and falls allows us to be relaxed and calm, composed without trying to fix those aforementioned discomforts more or less discreetly, and worst of all, endure them with barely concealed annoyance and a mad desire to remove the object of so much discomfort. How many, too many times, the culprit is the wrong bra for us. There's also the free choice, without feeling like a '68 feminist, to do without it completely. And as strange as it may seem, sometimes this is the right fit for certain items of clothing. Or for a specific style. And also regardless of whether the sense is toned and sculpted, minimal or generous, or relaxed by the passage of time and the flow of life.

But let's focus on how to wear it properly. So 1. let's know how it's made. 2. The models on the market. 3. Our breast type and the right model for it. 4. That great mystery of sizes and cup sizes. 5. A bra for every item. 6. How to care for them, from laundry to maintenance. 7. Useful accessories and little secrets.

1. Let's start by getting to know this new friend. It's essentially made up of hooks, cups, and elastic bands. Each has its own function and shape. Let's start with the hooks we use to fasten it. Whether it's at the back (center or side) or at the front, the fit and comfort of fastening vary. The most comfortable closure is the front, with a snap hook, a crossover strap, or multiple hooks if the style is high. This style has a full-length band and is ideal for t-shirts or dresses with a textured front and a smooth back. However, the one with one hook or two or three adjustable hooks at the back remains the most popular. Each of us wears it in her own way: some fasten it at the front and then slide it over, then slide on the straps, while others start by wearing the straps and fastening the hooks directly at the back. It requires flexibility and the ability to move without seeing, but with practice, we can all do it. It's a mini yoga class. There's no perfect technique for doing this, everyone has their own, but the real secret to wearing any style is that before closing the fastening, we must lean forward, thus allowing the breasts to detach freely from our body, be gathered into the bra with the gesture of fastening, and when returning to a straight position, the miracle happens. The breasts rest comfortably in the cup. They are not crushed by elastic and underwire. They remain high and full naturally. The channel between the breasts is sensual and elegant. All thanks to the correct posture when wearing it. Try it and believe it. All my clients have always known this fascinating secret.

2. There are many styles available, both in cup shape, width of the elastic straps, and specific uses. Any sales assistant in a specialized store will be able to tell you the perfect one for your needs. Strapless, halter, wide elastic, all the decorated ones (avoid the transparent ones. It's not true that they're invisible and don't look good. The strap should always be hidden). Sports bras deserve a special mention.

3. Our breast type falls into one of four macro categories... large, pear-shaped, thick, and adolescent. The names themselves perfectly define the category, making it easy to understand your breast type. Therefore, each breast has its own bra. For large breasts, the T-shaped bra will be suitable. For open breasts, the triangle bra will be suitable. For large breasts, both are suitable because the style is defined by the width of the elastic bands, the straps, the fabric that reaches from the cup to the closure, and the type of closure; everything is wide, like the cup and the breast it accommodates. For adolescent breasts, the inmottito is indicated for logical reasons. Bandeau bras, balconette bras, unlined lace bras, and the sports bra are bras for certain occasions. Not for certain breast types.

4. The mystery of sizes and measurements is quickly solved. Size refers to the circumference of the hips. Measurement refers to the cup size from A to B and C onward. It is the intersection of these two parameters that allows you to find the right bra. The table below is very helpful in finding the perfect bra.

5. EVERY GARMENT HAS ITS OWN BRA. Not every bra is suitable for every garment. Knit, wool, and stretch garments should be worn with padded, smooth, knit bras so they don't show through. Low-cut, strapless, or boat-neck, halter, or sheer, cut-out garments require a strapless bandeau bra. Plunging backs require a bra with a long, crossover strap that ties lower than the neckline and ties in the front. Lace, unlined, and sheer bras should be worn with loose-fitting, non-see-through garments, under sweaters, shirts, and sweatshirts. The bride's bra also follows these rules. The color of the bra and panties should always coordinate with each other and with the dominant color of the outfit.

6. A firm rule dictates that bras be hand-washed. To protect the elastic, lace, and hooks, the washing machine's spin cycle and other items in the drum cause friction that damages the fabric and the delicate components of this garment.

7. Accessories make the bra more comfortable or improve its function, such as extenders to attach to the clasp if it's become too tight, or padding to lift the breasts. Replaceable parts in case of deterioration and easily found in haberdashery include elastic attachment rings, the elastics themselves, and snap or insert hooks to fasten the bra.

   
   

   At this point, it's truly impossible to get the wrong bra.
