Bras: Models and Trends

A good bra immediately performs three functions: it supports the breast, makes the outlines of the body more beautiful and gives the woman confidence and sexuality. And even if your man claims that he has fallen in love exclusively with your bottomless eyes, his chest should always be at his best. Fashionable bras will help you in this matter.

It is known that the question of supporting and giving the breast a beautiful shape worried women (and men, no doubt!) From ancient times - ancient Egyptian and Greek women tugged their bust with special ribbons, the Romans had their “winding up” their rituals. In the Middle Ages, the ball was ruled by corsets, which tightened and lifted the chest and tugged at the waist.

The “collapse” of the corset into two parts - a bra and a belt occurred only at the end of the nineteenth century, and this whole process was closely connected with the emancipation of women, the struggle for freedom and equality. Today we can hardly imagine life without this element of wardrobe. An active lifestyle, traveling, work, rest, maternity leave with a baby, a solemn event - a bra should be for every occasion.

The main difference between a modern bra and a corset is that it transfers the weight of the chest to the shoulders, and does not serve as a “support” from the bottom. This is a much more healthy and comfortable position.

Most modern bras are produced on the "underwire" - thin metal arms that are inserted into the drawstring under each breast. She rigidly presses the product to the body and fixes the bust. Seedless cotton underwear is available for the home, special bras for breastfeeding, sports and classic with an enlarged lower part, which are designed specifically to support the mammary glands (what is commonly called a “grandmother's” bra).

The main forms and types:

• Classic. A bra of a classical form with a soft cup without additional elements inside.

• Balconette. The upper part of the cups is “cut off” horizontally, so that in shape they resemble balconies. This is a variant of the bodice, which is suitable for a small bust and wearing open clothes. It can be both with foam rubber, and without it.

• Corbey. Open bra for summer clothes. It resembles a balconette, but the cup is cut diagonally, and from the nipple it goes sideways and upwards, opening up the “open space” for a V-shaped neckline.

• Brasiere Bra, covering the chest from the sides. From the sides, the cup reaches the nipples and "goes" down - this form, again, allows you to wear the most daring neckline, because he also pushes his chest slightly towards each other.

• Push up. “Squeeze and lift”, the name speaks for itself. Available in various versions and forms, with varying degrees of impact on the chest. The seductive effect is achieved due to removable foam inserts from below, or by the special shape of the cup itself, when its bottom is already filled with material and the breast, as it were, “stands” on it.

• Angelica. Bra-balconette strapless, or with removable straps. This style of bra is suitable for girls with small breasts, which does not require support (from a large weight such bras simply "move down").

• Bando A wide strip of fabric, gathered in the middle of the folds. This is a seedless model that is most often used for swimsuits.

• Bra with a soft cup. Model without seal.Most often, it consists of fabric (lace, cotton) and bone. Suitable for medium sized breasts.

If the main task of the bra is breast support, then his cup will completely close the breast. As a rule, they have wide lower and back parts, comfortable straps.

It is not necessary that the supporting bra is an unpretentious product: it can be lace, satin, or cotton. This group includes all types of sports underwear.

Continues the idea of ​​supporting. The back of this product can be made in the form of shirts. The lower part is increased, it turns out something between a bra and a corsage. At the same time, on slim, but busty girls, this option looks very seductive: emphasizes the upper part and the waist. In addition, often these bras are decorated with locks in front, lacing, hooks. The shape of the cup in such a product may be very different.

A very special type of underwear required to restore the breast after mammoplasty or any other surgery. Usually it is wide bras, with wide straps and a wide back on flypapers and a fastener in front on a lightning. For those who decide to insert implants in their breasts, a special bandage tape over the bra is used. Such underwear is made by medical companies from special materials.

Doctors categorically do not recommend sleeping in a bra - it violates the blood circulation in the chest! However, if it is necessary for some reason, lingerie for nursing and pregnant women (made of soft cotton, seedless), or a cotton bodice resembling a vest is excellent.

Ideal for small breasts that do not require serious support. As a rule, he not only has no bones, but the cups consist of a thin layer of a compactor, which does not allow the bra to shine through. Good for everyday wear at home.

The easiest option is a well-fitting classic bodice with foam cups, which themselves add chest volume.

Another popular option is push-up. Due to the specially shaped cup (made of foam rubber or with gel filling), they create volume, lift the bust and make it round. According to the girls, bras with gel filling are quite heavy, the skin sweats under them, and it is not so easy to wear them all day. That is why foam options are more popular.

In some bras there are inserts in the lower part of the cup (there is a special pocket). They create a small additional volume, and if desired they can be pulled out. These bras will help to cope with the asymmetry of the breast, if you put the insert only in the cup, which is necessary.

You can't throw a word out of a song - you can't get a big chest, but there are also such elements of wardrobe that will help to correct it in a smaller direction. These bras are called minimizers. Their main task is to reduce the load on the back and provide maximum breast support. As a rule, they are made of very high-quality materials, are cut with wide and soft straps and wide back - so that nothing bumps into the skin under the weight of the bust. Often, the owners of large breasts are not confused by its size, but by the fact that ordinary bras overtighten the skin: this creates an unpleasant look.

The cup completely covers the chest so that nothing “falls out”. In addition, the cup is seamless and smooth - it all helps a large breast to look neat.

To tricks "worked", you need to correctly pick up the minimizers. Such models are sold in special departments of corrective underwear, and best of all, if a competent consultant will help you with the choice.

A plain bra with a closed cup is what is called a classic. Such models are suitable for everyone, you just need to choose the right size. They are suitable for every day, and at the exit, if you can fit the dress, and for an erotic wardrobe. This season, classic models are at the peak of popularity.

For every day, designers offer smooth options, or bras with embroidery in body and pastel shades.

On the way out - linen from expensive materials, with velvet trim (Agent Provocateur), lace and ribbons. They combine with classic panties, or retro - with a high waist.

Every serious lingerie brand necessarily has a wedding line, and this, of course, is the most luxurious and exquisite lingerie for a special day. A variety of styles allows you to choose the shape of the top according to the style of the dress. Since most of the wedding dresses are open, most often in such collections there are bras ballet bras, brasieres, etc. Corsets have received special attention this season, but it is advisable to wear them at the wedding, it’s up to the bride to decide.

When choosing a wedding bra, the most important thing is to choose it so that it does not let you down: do not get out from under the dress, never rubbed it - in other words, not to think about it and enjoy the triumph.

It is not at all necessary that the linen that was worn under the wedding dress in the morning turned out to be on the bride and during the wedding night. By the evening of this difficult day bra and panties will not be fresh enough. Many brides prefer to choose a simple but comfortable option (for example, seamless underwear) for a wedding dress, but to change into a seductive wedding night set after the wedding.

This bra is useful for wearing under open dresses and tops with a strap through the neck. In shape, it resembles the top of a swimsuit. You can find a simple option - with one shoulder strap and a standard back. Some girls manage to detach one strap from a regular bra, the other to push the maximum length and fasten on the other cup, throwing it over the neck.

A bra decorated with decorative rhinestones suggests itself that someone else will see it. That is, it is a detail of erotic wardrobe, or a bra for girls who are engaged in oriental dance, go-go or pole dance. Rhinestones do not involve friction about clothes. This bra should sit perfectly, and the jewelry should be securely fastened. Bright new items can be purchased both in special clothing stores for dancing and in regular stores, including the mass market.

Gel bra is usually used to increase the bust. There are almost no hard inserts in it, so the gel flows around the chest, giving it a beautiful shape and additional centimeters. In recent years, manufacturers are trying to use the easiest gel.

Such models are used either for sports (and this is a separate big topic), or - for wearing during pregnancy, when the breast is constantly changing its size. There are no pits in them, they are made from special materials (such a bra will not only stretch when it is needed, but also decrease, without losing the appearance).

Brands that produce underwear for pregnant women (Mothercare, I love mum, Fest, Tonus-elast) make sure that it is not only functional, but also beautiful. These models are decorated with lace, decorative buttons, ribbons and other details that will make you feel beautiful in this difficult period.

Silicone strips inside the bra are used so that it does not slide down.This is true for models without straps. They act like silicone strips on stockings. Usually they are glued to the side and back of the bra. This model should not be worn for too long - the strips can rub the skin, and if there is a little sweat in it, the product is likely to crawl down.

This bra still calls U-shaped. It looks very pretentious, but allows you to support the breast and open the neckline as much as possible. Typically, such models are reinforced on the sides, fit well to the body, and the cups themselves are quite thin. The straps are arranged as widely as possible. The tape is slightly understated to support the chest. Most often produced smooth and without decorative elements, because They are worn under sleek and open items. Suitable for owners of small or medium-sized breasts.

Two silicone cups with a jumper without any straps and backs. Suitable for girls who love bold dresses, but are not ready to leave the house with a bare chest. The adhesive inner base allows such a bra to simply cling to the body. However, a sufficiently large chest (according to reviews, sometimes even the 2nd size) will not hold such a bodice.

Despite the obvious advantages - ease of use, the ability to wear any dress and blouse, and even the formation of a seductive breast shape, self-adhesive bra is not a thing for everyday wear. Wearing it for more than 6 hours is detrimental to health - it impairs blood circulation in the breast and creates a greenhouse effect on the skin. Again, it is worth it to sweat a little bit, and the silicone “butterfly” will fly down.

The question of convenience is purely individual. Someone is wearing unpretentious cotton bras all his life, someone stops on seamless and elastic. In turn, among the expensive and beautiful lingerie there are very comfortable models in wearing, which are nice to wear every day.

Fashionable lingerie in 2017 - mostly pastel colors. Designers have relied on beige, golden beige, pink and beige. Also in the trend - sand, milky shades, "ivory". Bras of this color in harmony with the skin and create a gentle and seductive image.

In second place in popularity - red and all its shades. In muted shades, red can even be found on everyday sets. Bright red and burgundy shades - for passionate natures and for the "special occasion".

Lovers of printed linen should look at the delicate floral and animal paintings. Abstract patterns and simple geometry (peas, stripes) are popular.

Classic materials are in fashion - atlas, guipure. In budget brands these materials are synthetic, in the more expensive ones they are made from natural silk fiber with a slight addition of elastane. Ideally, if a bra of such fabrics has a lining on the cotton, the skin will be much more comfortable.

For everyday wear thin knitted bras are produced, or with a foam cup lined with knitted cloth. In combination with cotton lace trim, this set looks very beautiful!

Already the second season, designers aggressively offer knitted bras. On the body, such options look, of course, fascinatingly sexy! But in the sock they do not provide chest support, so knitted options are well suited as a swimsuit. You can tie yourself a swimsuit to order - then you will become the owner of an exclusive gizmos, ideally sitting on your figure.

From the novelties of this season - velvet and leather. Leading linen designers have released collections with these two materials.Leather straps, straps, cups top give the bra an aggressive touch, and velvet refers to luxury.

The main criterion is convenience. Move around in the fitting room, raise your hands, try to sit, walk, bend over. There are 6 "control points" to check the fit of the bra.

• On the back, the tape is horizontal and you can stick 2 fingers under it.
• The junction of the cups in the front fits snugly to the body.
• The breast completely enters the cup.

• The bone does not press on the chest from the side and in the center, but is located under it.
• The straps do not cut into the skin.
• The bra does not form folds on the skin in the armpits.
