Bras You Simply Have to Have in Your Collection

Fashion is a matter of taste and you can certainly express yourself in a wide variety of ways. That being said, many of your looks are only as good as the supporting pieces you wear underneath. In this article, we take a look at bras you simply have to have in your collection.

Why do you need different bras? There is no single bra that works with every outfit. Some bras are perfect for cleavage intense looks while other bras are perfect for that strapless dress. Making sure you have the correct bra for the occasion is critical. That is why you need these:

Convertible Bra - If there is one bra that deserves a standing ovation, it is the convertible bra. Designed to fit a number of occasions, the beauty of the bra is found in the ability to convert it between a full bra, a strapless bra and practically everything in between. It is not as good as any of these specific bras, but gives you a similar fit while saving money by buying just one bra.

Sports Bra - The sports bra is critical if you exercise at all. Even if you are just hiking, give your babies a ton of support. Exercise can do a number on them in the long run, so a sports bra is a must for any collection.

Push-up and Minimizer Bras - One of these bras makes things look bigger than they are while one tones things down. So, why put them together? Well, they are both for a specific situation. Some outfits are made better by a pushed up bust line, so a push-up bra is necessary. If you prefer a lot of button up shirts that are on the tight side, then a minimizer bra can make a world of difference when avoiding the strained button look. You should have at least one of each of these bras in your collection.

Racerback Bras - A racerback bra is great because it provides support while moving the straps to the center of the back. This means you can wear sleeveless tops and dresses without having straps show. The only downside to these bras is the placement of the straps closer to the neck can make them uncomfortable. Try on a variety until you find something you can live with for an evening.

T-Shirt Bras - Last, but definitely not least, is the t-shirt bra. For many women, this is their default bra worn day in and day out unless a special occasion arises. These bras are great because their seamless nature makes them perfect for just about any top. Much like avoiding panty lines, the t-shirt bra will usually allow you to avoid showing bra seams. If you are going to load up on one bra in your collection, the t-shirt bra is usually the best choice.

Bras come in many styles. Each has a purpose, so make sure you take a look at what is out there and how you can spice up your collection with the perfect bra.
