What type of bras should you own?

One bra style will not work for all fashions or functions. Though your sports bra may be your secret favorite it does not work for every outfit. Your bra wardrobe should include a minimum of four or more bras:

1. A seamless bra: often called a T-shirt bra. These bras may be lightly padded to prevent show and tell under the tightest tops or anything sheer

2. A strapless or convertible bra: Which can be adjusted to suit halter, low cut and backless tops and dresses. It is not something you need all the time, but it is important to have for summer fashions and formal wear.

3. A seamed bra: The more seams a bra has the more shape and support you have. If you have jackets, blouses and dresses with darts you need a bra with seams.

4. An active or sports bra for exercising at the gym or working in the yard.

In your basic bra wardrobe include colors of basic black (because we always have so much dark and black outfits) and nude or beige which look much better under white tops and t-shirts than white. Of course there is a rainbow of colors to choose from to match nearly any outfit.
