Every bra style was designed for a particular cut of clothing. Knowing the difference saves you from buying pieces you never wear.
T-shirt bra
A smooth, seamless cup — the best choice under fitted shirts and light fabrics. Your everyday option if you want one bra that works with most things.
Balconette
A horizontal cup that lifts and leaves the top of the bust open, made for wide and square necklines.
Strapless
It relies on a wider band and an inner silicone strip. Get the band size exactly right — it is the only thing holding it up.
Push-up
Angled padding that lifts up and inwards. Better suited to occasions than to long everyday wear.
Sports bra
Firm support and fabric that moves sweat away. Match the support level to the activity: light for walking and yoga, high for running.
Bralette
No wires, no padding — a comfortable piece for days at home and for sleep, and easy under loose clothing.
