Even though lingerie stays under your clothes most of the time, your undergarments can make or break how you feel when you walk out of the house. With a holy grail bra in your corner, you can maximize your confidence and comfort level. For this purpose, look no further than the t-shirt bra. Before going shopping for the best t-shirt bra, here’s what to look for in this closet staple.
Snug Fit Not Too Tight
Your t-shirt bra should fit snugly, but it shouldn’t feel tight. T-shirt bras are designed to disappear under clothes, giving you a smooth and natural silhouette. So your bra shouldn’t have any gaps or loose areas. The band should sit horizontally against your back and stay put throughout the day without riding up.
You don’t want your t-shirt bra to be so tight that it creates lumps and bumps where it shouldn’t. The straps should feel supportive, but you should still be able to fit two fingers comfortably under the strap on top of your shoulder.
You may have to try on a few different sizes to find the perfect fit for your t-shirt bra, especially if you’re looking at options that only come in small, medium, and large. Of course, to find the most comfortable bra, look for brands that come in a variety of sizes and take detailed measurements of your bust before you choose items off the rack or online.
Thick Fabric
If you’re looking for an everyday bra, consider one with slightly thicker fabric. T-shirt bras with memory foam cups provide an ideal amount of support, comfort, and coverage. With a sturdy, seamless fabric, you’ll be able to wear your t-shirt bra in every season.
Whether you’re ordering online or buying in the store, try on your bra to see how the fabric feels against your skin. High-quality materials generally feel pleasant and give you a “barely there” sensation, whereas flimsy fabrics may feel restrictive or scratchy.
Correct Cup Size
An alarming amount of women wear the wrong bra size, and that can make even the best bra feel uncomfortable. T-shirt bras should fit the same as other bras, so don’t change your cup size when shopping for one.
Something to consider when you’re taking your bust size is that the band and cup sizes work together to create a comfortable fit. Smaller band sizes mean smaller cup sizes. So if you try on a 34C and the cup fits just right but the band size is too large, you should try on a 32D next. This means you’ll have to go up a cup size when trying a smaller band size.
Not all brands offer half-sizes, which can make it difficult to find a bra that fits you perfectly. Don’t give up hope. There is a bra out there for you.
