The recently bought dress may look perfect, but you are still not comfortable with the fit and feel of the dress. This could happen because of the imperfect lingerie. Perfect clothing is not about what you wear outside; innerwear also matters for that elegant and sophisticated look. Therefore, wearing the right lingerie, especially the brassiere, is significant. Find below some tips on how to select the best bras for yourself.

Find the perfect size
A good brassiere gives you a comfortable and elegant feel. On the other hand, a poorly fitted brassiere can become the worst experience for the wearer. Therefore, to choose a fitted brassiere, you should start with the right measurements and find the perfect size. Measurements make all the difference, and you should only attempt lingerie shopping with the right measurement. Measure the band and the cup size to ensure the perfect fit. There are many guides and tutorials that are available online to help you get your correct measurements. You can also seek the help of professionals and experts that are available in some stores.

Wear a T-shirt for trials
It is your personal choice what you wear when shopping for a brassiere. However, it is best to wear a T-shirt. It will help define and decide the right fit and give you an idea of how the brassiere will look even under a soft fabric such as that of a T-shirt.

Every brand has a different size
Remember, every brand has a different style and size. It is good to have one right measurement, as mentioned earlier. You can also choose different sizes as per the brand and style. For example, the size of strapless bras may differ from the plunge type. Knowing how your size would differ depending on the style and brand of the bra is key to getting a flawless look. It is also good when you are unable to find your size in a particular style. It also helps those with larger cup sizes and smaller bands and even those with smaller cup sizes and larger bands to get the best-fitting bra.

Get maximum support from the band
The brassiere can be comfortable if the band provides more support. It is best to have a thicker band to get the maximum support. A loose band is uncomfortable and will not provide the required support. It is best if you start off wearing the brassiere by tightening at the first hook and then, later on, use the second and third hooks of the lingerie as the elasticity of the band wears off.

Different large sizes mean different things
It has been found that most of the brands offer brassieres in large sizes. This includes – plus size, full figure, and full bust. However, remember that there is a slight difference among these large sizes. A band size of 38 or bigger is considered to fall under the plus size. A “full bust” means a small band and a larger cup size. The 38, or the bigger band, comprises the full figure. Please note that all the plus size bras are not full figures, but all the full figure brassiere are plus size.

The fabric of the brassiere matters
The bra’s fabric must also be considered when choosing and shopping for the right fitted one. It also depends upon the purpose of the bra or the skin type. For sensitive skin, a softer and smooth fabric bra must be bought, while for special occasions, one can choose designer brassieres with lacey, silky fabrics.

Know the different bra styles
The different bra styles serve distinguished purposes. You may want to have different brassiere styles in your wardrobe for various occasions. But taking care of comfort is also required. For example, one can opt for a sports bra while performing high-intensity workouts or sports. You should also have a traditional brassiere such as a T-shirt bra in a skin tone shade or black. For lounging and traveling, you can wear a non-underwire brassiere for comfort.

Bras don’t last forever
Remember that lingerie does not last forever. No matter how much care you take of your innerwear, you need to change your brassiere and shop for a new one at some point. With time the elasticity, fabrics, and hooks wear out and would not be suitable for use.

Keep these tips in mind while shopping, and you will find the right one. It is also good to update and experiment with the various brassiere styles. But comfort and fit should be the utmost priority.
