5 Secrets to Updating Your Bra Wardrobe

Sponsored Post written on behalf of Bare Necessities

Every morning most of us put on our bra without much thought.  But have you really looked in the mirror lately?  Are things going south?  If so, it’s time to update your bra!

Here are 7 tips to make sure you are wearing the right bra:

1. Put on a top or dress that is form fitting and take a photo of yourself.  Check to see if you look “saggy” in the photo.
2. How long has it been since you have bought a new bra?  Your bra should not be stretched out or ride up your back. It’s good to buy new bras every year and get measured twice a year since our body does change. If you have gained or lost weight this is essential and often overlooked.
3. Check your straps.  Are they pulled up and able to keep you lifted? This is where many bras start to wear out first. Also if you are busty, consider a bra with a thicker strap. This will help hold “the girls” up for a perky look.
4. Are you wearing the right size bra?  You should not be spilling out of your cups or lost in them.
5. After putting on your bra, look down.  Does the fabric in the middle of your cups gap or sag?  Ideally, the fabric should lay flat on your skin between the cups.

1. Are you busty?  The key to looking slim in clothing starts with a good foundation.  Balance is key.  There are some wonderful styles that can help minimize  your bust making you look slimmer and youthful.
2. Do you have the right bra for the outfit?  Having a selection of bras is important. You will want one to wear, one to wash and different styles to go with different styles of outfits. If you are budget conscience you can buy a convertible bra. These can be  converted every which way. These are perfect for travel too, so you can pack less and will always be prepared.

Here are  5 types of bras and they types of clothing they work best with.
