Top - bras for women
The bra is an important piece of lingerie. In addition to covering the chest, it also serves to highlight it. This is why it is important to choose a bra that is both suitable for your size and the effect you want.
Balconette bras - basket - box
The balconette bra, half cup bra and full cup bra are the most familiar types of bra. They can be worn every day, and almost under any garment. Although quite similar, their forms have some differences that should be distinguished.
The balconette bra gives volume to the top of the chest, leaving it bare at mid-height. Ideal with a square neckline, it is particularly suitable for small and medium breasts.
The half cup bra leaves the upper part of the chest completely free. Its eccentric straps and cups with a vertical seam in the middle, emphasize a superb curved effect.
Finally, the underwired bra is distinguished by its enveloping shape. The breast is perfectly covered in the cup, which provides maximum comfort. It provides excellent support for generous breasts.
Bandeau or strapless bra
The bandeau bra has removable straps. It has the characteristic of having a more stretched mid-breast and back circumference, and of slightly falling on the ribs.
Originally designed for small breasts, the headband is now available in models suitable for generous breasts. The support was notably consolidated thanks to a silicone back strap.
The absence of straps makes this lingerie for women ideal for revealing her back and shoulders during sunny days. The headband is worn under a bustier type garment, and is particularly suitable for weddings.
Push-up bra and plunge bra
Push-ups and plungers are bras from the same family, which have the particular effect of giving more volume to the chest. If, at the base, they were designed for small breasts, the brands of lingerie for women then began to create models allowing those with generous breasts to enhance their breasts.
The push-up and plunge cups are both padded with thick foam. But the peculiarity of the plunging or plunge bra lies in its very low neckline. While the push-up is recommended for a wide round neck or V-neck; plunge is worn with a particularly plunging top.
Still in the same style, but more discreet, there is the padded or shell bra which, too, has foam in its cups. Padded is used to slightly swell the chest and to hide imperfections.
Women's lingerie: minimizer or minimizer
The minimizer is, as the name suggests, a type of bra designed to reduce the volume effect of the chest. Its construction has been designed so that the volume of the breasts is well distributed and refocused inside the cups.
The straps are wider and the back measurement takes the form of a trapezoid. Suitable for all women and all types of clothing, the minimizer can be worn as long as you want a less imposing chest.
Triangle bra or scarf
The triangle bra comes in, as its name suggests, a triangle shape. It is called a scarf when the height of the triangle cups goes up to the shoulders, and therefore there are no straps. Very trendy, this type of bra has the advantage of being light and giving a natural look.
In general, the triangle is recommended for small breasts. It blends perfectly into a small neckline. Since this model only provides light support, it would be best to choose it for a relaxing day or an evening.
Bra and bralette
The bra and bralette are somewhat similar lingerie. Made of elastic materials, they have the particularity of having no frame and of covering the breast well. But while the bra is used as a bottom; the bralette can be worn as a fashionable top.
The wearing of the bra is recommended when seeking maximum comfort. It is suitable for sports sessions and moments of relaxation. As for the bralette, its lack of support means that its wearing is generally reserved for small breasts. This very trendy piece of lingerie for women can be worn every day.
