New Year, New Wardrobe Part 1

Right about now, many of us are coming up with New Year's resolutions that we vow to stick to, no matter what. Much of these resolutions have to do with eating better and healthier, exercising more, and taking better care of ourselves. I think that in every woman's resolution a fresh way to start is with renewing the essential bras we wear all the time. Feeling good about yourself and your appearance starts with what you're wearing underneath (even if you're the only one who knows what that is!). I have compiled a list of what I believe to be five types of everyday bras every woman should have in her wardrobe. Resolve to toss out those ratty old bras that have no elastic left. As the saying goes, out with the old in with the new.

Sports Bras

The goal of having a sports bra is to ensure great support no matter what type of exercise you do. Once the bra stretches out and the elastic is worn, the cups and back lose their ability to properly hold. Some sports bras have velcro straps that provide a no-slip grip, and others have T-backs which provide extra support and center gravity a bit more. I recommend the 8205, 847, 826 (by Triumph) and 5150 (by Elita lingerie)


Seamless Bras

If you're looking for a sleek look under your clothing, a seamless bra is the way to go. Unadorned with lace, the smooth cups are invisible underneath even the most fitted of shirts. (Bra Doctor hint: beige appears less underneath a white shirt than a white bra.) My favourites are Tactel (by Change of Scandinavia), Comfort Curves (by Triumph), Super Curves(by Triumph), 8420, 8406 (Grenier), and Flower Curves (by Triumph)





Look for more styles coming soon.....
