UNDERWIRE BRAS
These bras typically have a metal or plastic wire sewn into the fabric to create a supportive structure around the breasts.
They are suitable for women looking for a more structured fit or with heavier breasts, as the wire helps lift and shape the bust.
They provide a more defined and lifted silhouette.
Suggested underwired bras:
WIRELESS BRAS
Wireless bras, as the name suggests, contain no rigid wire. Instead, they offer support through wider straps or thicker bands.
They are perfect for women who feel discomfort wearing underwire bras, yet still want a natural breast shape.
This type of bra also works well for breasts that point in different directions, as it shapes, supports, and centres the bust.
Suggested wireless bras:
PADDED BRAS
This type of bra has foam inserts in the cups to shape the breasts and create a smoother silhouette.
They are an excellent option for those who want a rounder shape, especially women with smaller breasts, asymmetry, or prominent nipples.
However, some women feel that padded bras can make their breasts appear larger than they are.
Suggested padded bras:
PUSH-UP BRAS
Push-up bras are the top choice for women with smaller busts.
They include extra volume inside the cups, pushing the breasts upward. They enhance the bust naturally and create an enviable cleavage.
Ideal for women with smaller or less full breasts, offering a more dramatic and enhanced look.
Suggested push-up bras:
MINIMIZER BRAS
Many women want to reduce the appearance of their breast volume, and minimizer bras are the best choice for this purpose—they can reduce up to two cup sizes.
They are designed to visually minimize the breast size and feature wide padded straps and specially shaped cups.
They are also ideal for women who feel shoulder discomfort due to breast weight.
Suggested minimizer bras:
STRAPLESS BRAS
Versatile and multifunctional! Strapless bras are the go-to choice for women who want to feel secure with any outfit.
They feature fully removable straps and silicone bands on the band to keep everything in place without discomfort.
And who says they can’t work for larger busts? Strapless bras are suitable for all breast types and can offer the same support as bras with straps.
Suggested strapless bras:
BALCONETTE BRAS
Balconette bras have cups cut horizontally, creating a lower neckline.
They are ideal for wearing with low-cut tops or dresses, giving the bust a more lifted appearance.
They are also a great choice for women with smaller breasts, as they help create a fuller look.
Suggested balconette bras:
POST-SURGICAL OR MASTECTOMY BRAS
At Langiarte, we think about every woman’s needs—every bust is unique.
Post-surgical bras are designed for women who have undergone surgery or who need gentle support and compression during healing.
They often have a side opening for prostheses, a front closure, and wide adjustable straps for comfort and security.
Suggested post-surgical bras:
NURSING BRAS
A new chapter is beginning!
Nursing bras are designed to make breastfeeding easier and more comfortable.
They include removable clips on the cups for easy access, adjustable straps, and sometimes removable padding.
Suggested nursing bras:
SPORTS BRAS
Sports bras are ideal for women who practise physical activity and need support during exercise.
They feature a compressive design with wider straps to prevent bounce and discomfort.
They are usually made from breathable, antibacterial fabric to avoid sweat-related discomfort.
Suitable for all breast types, but especially helpful for women with larger or fuller busts.
Suggested sports bras:
Choosing the right bra is extremely important to help you feel beautiful and confident!
