Find out in this article how to choose the right bra for your bust. We know that buying lingerie online can sometimes be a bit of a risk, so we’ve prepared a guide to help make this process as smooth as possible. Ready? Let’s go!
1. Find your measurements
The first step is knowing your measurements. This will help you choose the right size.
If you already know your size, great! If not, grab a measuring tape and measure your underbust and bust size. Follow these tips below:
Bust measurement: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust. Note down the number.
Underbust measurement: place the tape around the area just below your bust. Once you meet the end, write down the number of centimeters.
Now that you have both measurements, check our size chart to find your true size.
If you prefer to shop in-store, you can also ask one of our specialists to help you find your perfect fit.
2. Choose the style that makes you feel most comfortable
The ideal bra is the one that makes you feel both comfortable and confident in any situation. So, which one is right for you? Let’s look at the main types and their advantages.
Underwired
An underwired bra provides extra lift and support. It shapes and separates the breasts for a more defined and rounded look. Perfect for fuller busts or anyone wanting more structure. Versatile for everyday or special occasions.
Without underwire
A without underwire bra offers maximum comfort and flexibility. It’s lightweight, soft, and perfect for long wear. While it gives less support than an underwired model, it’s ideal for those who prioritize natural comfort and freedom of movement.
Padded
A padded bra adds volume and definition to your bust. It enhances your shape and provides extra support. Padding can range from light to full, ideal for those who want to visually increase bust size or achieve a fuller cleavage.
Minimizer
A minimizer bra reduces the appearance of bust volume by distributing the tissue evenly. It offers full coverage and strong support, ideal for larger busts, improving posture and comfort under fitted clothing.
Strapless (Bandeau)
A strapless bra is designed to provide support without straps. It features reinforced sides and non-slip details to stay securely in place. Perfect for strapless or off-shoulder outfits while maintaining the natural shape of your bust.
Push-up
A push-up bra has strategically placed padding that lifts and brings the breasts together for a fuller cleavage. It enhances volume and gives a more defined look—ideal for low-cut or fitted outfits.
3. Choose soft, skin-friendly fabrics
Next, choose materials that feel good against your skin. The right fabric makes all the difference—avoiding irritation or discomfort.
Cotton
Known for being soft and breathable, ideal for daily wear. Natural, hypoallergenic, and moisture-absorbent—perfect for warm climates or sensitive skin.
Polyamide
Light, smooth, and stretchy, offering a snug and comfortable fit. It’s durable, quick-drying, and keeps its shape after multiple washes. Perfect for a refined, modern look.
Recycled polyamide
Combines sustainability with comfort, made from reused materials. Lightweight, elastic, and durable like traditional polyamide but with an eco-friendly edge.
4. Compare with bras you already own
Comparing your current bras with the ones you plan to buy is a great way to find your ideal model. If you already have pieces that make you feel confident and comfortable, stick with similar styles or fabrics.
When choosing, think about:
The comfort of the fabric?
Details that boost your confidence?
Wired or wireless?
Padded or unpadded?
Thin or wide straps?
Keep all this in mind if you’re unsure how to choose the right bra.
