Christy One Piece Swimsuit in Wild Leaves

As difficult as bra shopping is, it becomes a lot easier when you figure out your bra size and breast shape.

We’ve all brought a handful of cute bras into the fitting room and hoped that even one of them would fit. Bra shopping can certainly be stressful, so understanding your breast shape is the key to a successful shopping trip.

Which bra should you choose? Here are the best bras for each breast shape:

Sandrine Plunge Longline Bra | Sandrine Hipster in Ivory

Breast shape: Round

What it means: Round breasts have the same fullness from top to bottom – the breast tissue is evenly distributed throughout the breast. You’ve probably heard that if you have round breasts most bra styles will work for you and this is true. Demi bras, balconette bras, and bralettes are all clear contenders for this breast shape.

“What are the best bra styles for round breasts?”

Best bra styles: You can pretty much wear any style – from racerback bras and t-shirt bras to demi bras and bralettes. Why not try a new style or pick a print or color you wouldn’t normally choose? It’s easy to get into a style rut when it comes to lingerie, but there are plenty of other styles out there for you too!

Sandrine Plunge Longline Bra | Sandrine Hipster in Ivory

Breast shape: Asymmetrical

What it means: Is one of your breasts noticeably bigger than the other? If so, you’re not alone. Most women have a breast that is slightly larger, but asymmetrical breasts typically involve one breast being a cup size (or more) bigger than the other.

“How do I make my boobs look more symmetrical?”

Best bra styles: Plunge bras, demi bras, and padded bras will balance out your shape and give you a more even look. Push-up bras with removable pads are another good option if one of your breasts is a cup size larger than the other. Simply remove the push-up pad from the side with the bigger cup and you’re good to go.

Emma Wire-Free Soft Padded Bra | Emma Hipster in Black

Breast shape: Athletic

What it means: Strength is beautiful too! You have athletic breasts if you have a muscular chest with breasts that are wider and less dense than other breast shapes. Never fear, there are some great bras out there for you.

“Which bra style will provide the perfect amount of lift?”

Best bra styles: Push-up bras are a stellar option for athletic breasts – the construction of the bra will lift and center your breasts, creating a fuller shape. Avoid bras with tall center gores as they may cause discomfort and instead look for bras with low center gores, like the Emma Plunge Molded Bra. Wireless bras, like the Emma Wire-Free Soft Padded Bra, are comfortable and will work well for you too.

Emma Plunge Molded Bra | Emma Hipster in Nude

Related: Which Breast Shape Do You Have?

Breast shape: Slender

What it means: Slender breasts are characterized by thinness all over and a lack of density. The breast tissue is typically shallow and they may be dropping or sagging in shape.

“How can I get more lift?”

Best bra styles: Balconette bras and demi bras are your best bet. Plunge bras can also be a great option as they’ll lift your breast tissue considerably. Speaking of plunge bras, slender breasts need a bra that provides a good amount of lift, so you may find your perfect fit in a plunge bra, push-up bra, or demi bra.

Charlotte Padded Bra | Charlotte Bikini in Blossom Print

Breast shape: Tear Drop

What it means: Tear drop breasts are breasts that are fuller on bottom. This breast shape benefits the most from a bra with a snug band and a firm, supportive fit to lift everything up.

“Which bra style will provide the lift and support I need?”

Best bra styles: Demi bras and balconette bras are both excellent choices for tear drop breasts. The cup design and wide set straps will lift your breast tissue up – no push-up padding needed. Padded bras are another option. With full coverage bras, be sure to try them on before purchasing as you may have an issue with your breast tissue filling up the cups in a full coverage style. If that’s the case, opt for a seamless demi bra instead.

Charlotte Padded Bra | Charlotte Bikini in Blossom Print

Breast shape: Close Set

What it means: Do your breasts almost touch? Close set breasts have little space between each breast. If you have close set breasts, you might be searching for a comfortable bra that doesn’t dig in or irritate your sternum.

“Which bra style is the most comfortable for me?”

Best bra styles: Plunge bras are a perfect match for close set breasts. Their low center gore can tack against the sternum – unlike a bra with a tall center gore that will pull away from your body. Plus, they provide just the right amount of separation without putting too much stress on breast tissue. Bralettes and wireless bras are two other good options, same with racerback bras.

Emma Plunge Molded Bra | Emma Hipster in Black

Breast shape: Wide Set

What it means: Wide set breasts, also known as side set breasts, have a fair amount of space between each breast. You might be looking for a bra that will center your breast tissue and reduce the space between your breasts. Enhancing your cleavage might be another priority of yours.

“How do I bring my breasts closer together?”

Best bra style: Balconette bras and demi bras are excellent choices for this breast shape. Plunge bras may work too – just be sure your breast tissue is supported and contained within the underwire of the cups. Bras with side slings, like the Marion Unlined Wire Bra, are designed to bring breast tissue to the center – making this a design detail worth seeking out if you have wide set breasts.

Whether you’re shopping for new everyday bras or lingerie for a special occasion, it’s always a good idea to seek out a second opinion.

Cora Unlined Longline Bra | Cora Bikini in Pale Blush

No one wants an uncomfortable bra. In fact, those bras typically get tossed to the back of our lingerie drawers. What we do want, though, is a bra that is so comfortable we could sleep in it. Many of us have fallen asleep with our bras on and woken up in the morning with irritation and discomfort. Fortunately, there are a few styles out there that can change that.

What are the best bras to wear to bed? Wireless bras, soft cup bras, and bralettes are three styles worth seeking out. These styles lack underwire – something you’ll want to avoid with a sleep bra.

Here are our favorite bras to wear to sleep:

Adriana Lace Bralette

Adriana Lace Bralette | Adriana Bikini in Raspberry

With its stretch lace fabrication and supportive wireless construction, the Adriana Lace Bralette is one of our top picks for a sleep bra. This bralette provides the perfect amount of support without feeling restricting. Plus, it provides a little lift and doubles as an everyday bra too!

Adriana Lace Bralette | Adriana Bikini in Raspberry

Dalis Bralette

Dalis Bralette | Dalis Hipster in Bare

When we think of comfort, soft fabrics like modal come to mind. The Dalis Bralette is made almost entirely out of soft modal to help you get a good night’s sleep. This chic bralette features seamed cups, a supportive elastic band, and adjustable straps so you can customize the fit, too.

Dalis Bralette | Dalis Hipster in Bare

Ciara Bralette

Ciara Bralette | Ciara Bikini in Surf

The Ciara Bralette is a natural choice for a sleep bra. This comfy bralette features moisture-wicking Coolpass to keep you cool and comfortable all night long. The seamed cups and supportive band enhance your shape while providing the comfort you need. Stretch lace details add the perfect finishing touch.

Aline Wire-Free Padded Bra

Aline Wire-Free Padded Bra | Aline Bikini in Nude

If you’re looking for more support than a bralette, a molded wireless bra is the next best thing. The seamless cups and soft microfiber construction of the Aline Wire-Free Padded Bra feel lightweight and comfortable on the body. This bra provides more coverage than a bralette – and it’s wireless – so you won’t have to worry about waking up sore the next morning.

Aline Wire-Free Padded Bra | Aline Bikini in Black

Emma Wire-Free Soft Padded Bra

Emma Wire-Free Soft Padded Bra | Emma Hipster in Black

Bras can be expensive, so it’s often best to pick a style that you know you’ll get a lot of wear out of. While the Emma Wire-Free Soft Padded Bra is a brilliant day to day bra, it makes a great sleep bra, too. We love how the soft, high-quality fabrication adds comfort to an already versatile design. It’s just one of those styles that you put on and forget you’re even wearing it.

Should you wear a bed to bed? At the end of the day, the choice is yours. If you do choose to wear a bra to sleep, make comfort a priority. Remember: You don’t need a bra with a snug band for sleep. In fact, don’t be afraid to buy your bra sister size (bigger band size and smaller cup size) for a more comfortable fit. Just be sure the bra provides a decent amount of support on the middle or last hook so you can get a decent amount of wear out of out. Also, avoid any bras with underwire. Lastly, be sure to consult with your doctor before you start wearing bras to bed and consider getting a bra fitting if you’re not sure which size to buy.

Wondering how to make your bra fit better? We’ve got you covered.

While these tips won’t make an ill-fitting bra fit perfectly, they can help you get an extra wear out of a bra (or help you make it through the day with a bra that doesn’t fit well at all).

Here’s our guide to improving the fit of an ill-fitting bra:  

1.  Check the band

You’ve probably heard that your band is responsible for 80-85% of a bra’s support – not the straps. So it makes sense that you would check the band first when fixing the fit of your bra. After all, your band is the real MVP of your bra – it makes sure your breast tissue is supported, lifted, and held comfortably in place for 8+ hours every day.

Before you jump ahead and tighten your bra straps, take a good look at the band. Is the bra riding up in back? If so, move the bra band to the tightest (innermost) hook to get a snug fit. Does it feel too tight? Try re-fastening the band on a looser hook for a little relief.

2.  Adjust the straps

Sometimes a quick adjustment of the straps is all you need. As key components for many bras, your straps are responsible for keeping the cups in place.

Of course, finding the right balance with fit is key. Overtightening the straps will cause your bra band to ride up your back (and it can also cause cup spillage and discomfort too). On the other hand, straps that are too loose will fall off your shoulders. When those loose straps are combined with a loose band, the bra will start moving south – and that’s never a good look.

So how do you get the fit of the straps right?

Here’s how: Ideally, you should be able to comfortably fit two fingers between your skin and the strap without the band riding up. With your band hooked and horizontal to the floor, adjust the sliders on the straps to customize the fit. You can also adjust the straps before putting the bra on. This is especially helpful for racerback bras and bras that you have to pull over your head. Then fasten the bra and check the fit in a mirror to make sure everything looks good.

3.  Assess the cups

The cups are perhaps one of the most challenging issues to fix. There are two common issues that can come from ill-fitting cups. The first involves cups that are too small. As a bra fitter, I see bra cups that are too small all the time. You’d be surprised by the number of people that are walking around with bras that are too small!

How do you know if this is the problem?

Here’s what to look for: Your bra cups are too small if your breast tissue spills over the sides or out of the top or bottom of the cups. Ideally, your breast tissue should be completely encapsulated within the underwire of the cups. Also, your breast tissue should completely fill the cups too. This means that there isn’t any empty space in the cups. Unfortunately, there isn’t a good fix for bra cups that are too small. They’re a key sign that you need a bigger bra. But you can switch to a bralette or wireless bra if you’re not able to get a fitting yet. Both styles are wire-free and more forgiving than bras with underwire.

Speaking of empty space, the second fit issue involves the cups being too big – a common sign of a change in breast size. One common example? Breastfeeding can certainly change the size and shape of your breasts. In fact, you may find that you’re no longer able to fit into the bras you wore pre-pregnancy. Instead of trying to make those bras work, toss or donate them (depending on their condition) and treat yourself to some new bras that fit well. And don’t be afraid to try a different style – like a demi bra or a padded bra – to show off your beautiful new shape.

4.  Get a bra fitting

It’s normal for your bra size to change throughout your life. Weight loss, weight gain, pregnancy, childbirth, breast surgery, menopause, breastfeeding, hormones, and birth control can have a powerful impact on the body and change your bra size as a result. If you’re wearing the same bras that you bought a year ago and they’re not fitting you well, it might be time for a bra fitting. Many of these common bra fit issues can be fixed with a bra fitting. We recommend getting regular bra fittings every six months to one year. So if you can’t remember the last time you had a bra fitting, do yourself a favor and go get one!

How many bralettes do you own? We bet you own at least one!

Once seen as a lingerie trend, bralettes have proved their staying power season after season. This comfortable alternative to an underwire bra can be found in almost every store that sells lingerie – from the lingerie section at Target to the racks at your favorite local lingerie boutique.

Lacy, sheer, cotton, modal, or mesh in designs that are sexy, sweet, minimalist, or chic – there truly is a bralette out there for everyone. Fortunately, lingerie brands have taken note of the demand too. Full busted people are all too familiar with the struggle of finding a bralette that fits, but that struggle is over for many of us. Now the biggest lingerie brands are designing bralettes for every bust because they understand that everyone deserves beautiful lingerie that fits well and feels amazing. At the end of the day, bralettes are for all cup sizes – not just small cup sizes.

Why do we love these popular undergarments so much? Read on for the full scoop.

Bralettes are comfortable

If you hate wearing underwire bras and need to wear a bra for an outfit, a bralette is a stellar choice. Bralettes are designed without underwire, so you won’t have to worry about the underwire digging in or causing discomfort. They’re also a great option for anyone with asymmetrical breasts. Plus, most bralettes are constructed with just the right amount of stretch and provide lightweight shaping and support for small and big cup sizes, too.

Bralettes are warm weather-friendly

Bralettes glide over the contours of the body and show off your natural shape – without underwire, thick foam padding, and push-up cups. They’re perfect for warmer weather when you want a bra with a little coverage that feels light and comfortable. Fabrics like modal and moisture-wicking Coolpass are natural choices for summer-friendly bralettes. For even more comfort, look for a bralette that has a back hook and eye closure or front closure – both are easier to take off than a bralette you have to pull over your head.

Bralettes can be styled many different ways

As much as we love wearing our pretty robes and silk loungewear out, we’d argue that it was bralettes that single-handedly revived the lingerie as outerwear trend. This versatile design has endless styling options depending on your outfit. Longline bralettes are beautiful statement pieces when worn with a high-waisted skirt or pair of jeans, while lace bralettes are a perfect fit under sheer button-up tops and slouchy tanks. How many other lingerie styles work so seamlessly with our wardrobes?

Bralettes can be supportive

While a bralette may not provide the same support, shaping, and lift as your favorite underwire bra, bralettes do provide a little support. In most cases, you don’t need a lot of support if you’re lounging at home, running errands, or sleeping. Our top pick? With its wireless cups and stretch modal fabrication, the Dalis Bralette makes a superb sleeping bra or lounge bra. Plus, it will show off your natural shape and keep you cool and comfortable too!

Bralettes are the top of our list each season. With so many different styles to choose from – Adriana, Ciara, Dalis – which Parfait style is your favorite?
