How to choose the perfect bra according to the clothes you are wearing

Olivia Palermo and the V-neck

V-necklines lengthen the neck and stylize, but can also highlight a sagging chest. So if you wear this type of neckline, choose a push up model.

The push up bra

Make sure the bra fits your figure well. The cup has to mold well to your bust and not be detached from your chest or compress it. The hollow cup or double breasted effects are very unsightly.

Charlize Theron and the square neckline

For straight low necklines and very open on the sides, you need strapless or balconette bras, with the strap very lateral so that it does not show through the sides.

The importance of contour

Contrary to what many people think, the support of a good bra is the contour, never the strap. So make sure your bra fits your torso well without compressing it.

Miranda Kerr's bathtub neckline

A long strapless dress is one of the most complicated pieces to find a good bra. The lack of straps in the garment is joined by its weight, which can "drag" your underwear down. The best bra would be a push up strapless, but with a very wide contour strip for good support.

Look inside

When buying a strapless bra, note that the inside of the bra has non-slip silicone stripes for added support.

Heidi Klum and the plunging neckline

When you wear a fairly low-cut and slightly baggy garment, it is almost mission impossible not to show the bra at some point, so when in doubt, choose one that can be taught.

Bra with lace

Lace bra

The best choice is a bra with an opaque central area, so as not to show the nipple, but with a nice lace on the edge that enhances and beautifies your cleavage.

Angelina Jolie and nude tones

Clothes in flesh color, like this elegant outfit worn by the actress, have become very fashionable lately and need a discreet and invisible bra.

Second skin effect

Microfiber and invisible seam bras in nude tones are the perfect choice to hold without marking.

Amaia Salamanca and her back to the air

Many times when we see garments with the back in the air we think that they are only suitable for women with a small chest that does not need support, but there are also solutions for this type of neckline …

The bra to take your back in the air

Its rigid continuous ring and adjustable straps allow to hold the chest without the need for the back strap.

Paula Echevarría and the transparencies

Transparent garments do not leave much to the imagination, so it is important that you combine them with a top-effect bra that allows you to be comfortable and suggestive without being vulgar. We love how Paula has paired this pretty star-studded tulle top with a black satin bralette.

The bralette

This type of bra halfway between a top and a bra is very comfortable because it is so wide and covered, although it is not the best option if you have a very large or drooping chest, as it does not provide much support.

Lara Álvarez and the American

One way to feminize a tuxedo jacket is to wear it without a shirt underneath in order to give importance to the bra, which in this case has the effect of a top.

Lace bralette

To wear under her jacket, the presenter chose this bralette model made of lace and with a decorative strip that dressed her neckline in a very suggestive way.

Alessandra Ambrosio and the impossible cleavage

Another trend that we see a lot among celebrities are necklines to the navel, and in many cases also with transparencies. For this type of garment the options are much smaller …

The minimal expression

There are these small adhesives that, although they do not hold, allow to hide the most indiscreet part of your chest … Of course, you will always have the use of double-sided tape to keep the garment in place.

When we think of an ideal wardrobe, we imagine clothes, bags and shoes, but very rarely does it occur to us to include in this category the necessary bras to show off all these pieces in the best possible way. It is very important that the inner piece enhances and supports our chest in the correct way if we want to take full advantage of our appearance.

What should the perfect lingerie wardrobe include?

Push up bra. This type of bras is not only for small breasts. Its well-built structure helps to lift and redistribute breast volume, so a large sagging or separated breast benefits from its use as well. What you should do is remove the extra volume pads, which in your case are not necessary. They are perfect for when you wear a V-neckline, since these types of necklines by visually lengthening the length of your neck, in return make your chest look lower.
Strapless bra. It is not only for bathtub necklines, it is also very useful in pronounced squares , boat types or off shoulders. It is important that the strip that surrounds the torso is wide enough for a better grip, and that it has non-slip silicone all around. For very large glasses, corset types are recommended.
Second skin bra. Made of microfiber or cotton fabrics and with the seams as discreet as possible, to be worn with semi-transparent or very tight garments . You need one in nude tone for light tones and another black for dark and night clothes.
Bra with multi-position straps. They are pieces that adapt to the type of neckline you wear, since you can move the straps at your convenience. You will use them a lot with formal and ceremony garments with asymmetries, crossed straps and even with a bare back.
Bralette. It is the latest addition to the world of corsetry. Halfway between a bra and a top, it is perfect to show under a plunging or wild neckline and even with transparent garments on top.
