When it comes to our undergarments and shapewear, the rule of thumb is we don’t want to see it.
But if you’ve experienced the awful feeling of finding that amazing strapless dress or top but not having the bra to make it work, believe us – we get it.
For a lot of us, it isn’t realistic to just go braless and even if you can ideally do that, a little bit of extra comfort will never go astray.
Finding the perfect bra is a learned art, especially when you’re dealing with the added hazard of no straps, you’ve probably experienced the slipping and sliding of a strapless bra only for it to end up covering your stomach and not where you need it.
That’s one of the many reasons we are so grateful to the wizards working in bra development and tech who have made finding a good, discreet bra so easy these days.
