Complete linen guide: Top section
Winter sales and the approaching gift of frenzy - it's time to succumb to one of the consumer addictions. For example, shoe, bag or underwear (we confess, this is the most common). In any of these areas from the classifications, you can go crazy, but the names of the models are better known by heart, so as not to mumble “this” in the store. We start with an ultimatum guide on the types of bras - from a balconette to a Corbee and from a gang to a bralet.
Balconette
This flirtatious open underwired bra with a cup, low-cut horizontally, and with wide straps. Balconette usually closes the chest about half, barely covering the nipples. Therefore, it is better for owners of a magnificent breast to choose a more closed model or to check the reliability of the bra by inclining - there is a chance that the breast will fall out of the cups.
WHOM WILL GO: Girls with not very high breasts - and the size can be anything. Ideal for low-cut straight or semi-circular neckline.
Buy
Bando
This often decorative bra looks like a strip of elastic fabric, sometimes gathered in the center. It is difficult to call it linen: the gang usually comes in bright colors, is decorated with sequins and embroidery and is worn as part of multi-layered outfits so as to be noticed.
WHOM WILL GO: Girls with small breasts that do not require serious support.
BUY
Contour
Contour bras are made of thin dense foam, so that the cups always keep their shape. There are no seams on the cups; they perfectly cover the breast, copying its shape. These bras are usually equipped with bones and support the chest well.
WHOM WILL GO:For girls who want to make their breasts perfectly symmetrical and close their nipples. Finding the perfect shape of a contoured bra on a big breast can be difficult: sometimes the cups do not completely cover it.
BUY
Corbey
Corbei is very similar to a balconette, only closes the chest more, is cut at an angle and sewn so that the breasts converge, forming the notorious hollow. This is a great option for a V-neck.
To suit: Everybody.
BUY
Triangular
This is a triangular-shaped bra, without stones, most often of lace or silk mesh, with a minimum width of supporting tape — rather a savory accessory than a functional piece of clothing.
To suit:Girls with small breasts.
BUY
Push up
Legendary cheat bra. Its design with compacted cups and additional foam inserts placed inside the cups diagonally, squeezes and raises the chest so that at least one is added to the existing size.
WHOM WILL GO: Those who have little available. Push-ups exist for a variety of sizes, the criterion here is the convenience and beauty of the result.
BUY
Silicone
This is not even a bra, but a big sticker on the chest - to cover the nipples and slightly emphasize the shape.
WHOM WILL GO:Girls with small well-shaped breasts who love outfits with open backs or transparent inserts.
BUY
Seamless
This bra can be with bones and without, with straps and without them - and always will be without seams. It is as if molded from high-tech elastic fabric or thin dense foam rubber and sits almost like a second skin.
WHOM WILL GO: Supporters of minimalism.
buy
With a soft cup
Bras with a soft cup are traditionally meant for owners of small breasts: no inserts, bones, support plays a secondary role. However, for big-breasted girls, there are decent models: they are supported by, for example, a dense and wide ribbon of a bra and well-closed cups. This is a relaxed and elegant style with no extra details.
To suit: Those who do not like tight cups and bones.
buy
Sports
Everything is clear: it is a bra for sports. The chest is supported from the bottom, tightly closed at the top, literally packed in a bra. Some companies have different levels of closure cups and degrees of support - for yoga, skiing or running.
To suit: Anyone who cares about chest support when playing sports.
buy
Strapless
This bra can be as smooth, seamless and beige, and lace and bright. In addition to the absence of straps, he will surely have bones and a tight-fitting top of the cup - so that his chest in the most open attire looks compact and neat.
To suit: Those who decided to wear a dress with open shoulders.
buy
With modifying straps
The straps of such a bra can be fixed under the breast, thrown over the neck, leave only one of the two, if required by the outfit.
To suit:Those who wear a dress with an open back, with an open shoulder or a collar-collar.
buy
With seal
Bra with compacted cup - in whole or in part. This is not a push-up yet, but not the usual lace or knitted bra: the cup keeps its shape, and if the tight inserts are covered with lace, then often they close the nipples.
To suit: For those who want a well-defined form of cups and / or cover the nipples.
buy
With a deep neckline
The cups of this bra are interconnected at the very bottom and are often figured carved on the sides of the chest - so that the bra is not visible at the deepest and narrowest décolleté, almost to the navel.
To suit: Girls who dare on a deep narrow neckline and have a small chest. Such models exist in the version for large breasts, but, as practice shows, the magnificent forms in them are not always perfect.
buy
With straps connected on the back
The straps of this bra are connected at the back - so as not to look out from under the sports wrestling jersey or the narrowed back of the top.
To suit: Those who do not like to have straps visible on their shoulders, but also do not want to abandon them.
buy
Bralet
Another style for happy owners of small breasts: a soft bra with an elongated ribbon without stones does not constrain movements, slightly covers and protects the breasts.
To suit: Girls with small breasts.
buy
Without seal
Bra without additional thick layer from inside the cups. It can be with bones, with a tight, tight-fitting tape, wide reliable straps, but the cups will only be of lace, knitwear or delicate silk.
To suit: Those who love soft cups that take the form of a breast.
buy
Breast reduction
Big breasts are not only a virtue, but also often a source of experiences. For those who sometimes want to reduce the volume, invented breast-reducing bras. They are made of dense fabric and not only cover the entire breast, but also flatten it: this way you can reduce the breast almost by the size.
To suit: Girls with very big breasts.
buy
Closed
This is a bra with a maximum closed cup, very high, hiding the chest. For some reason, it is believed that owners of large breasts want just such styles. Everything is, of course, an amateur; however, when choosing, look, so that the elastic bands that tighten the top of the cups of soft lace do not cut the chest — this may look ugly under clothes.
To suit: Girls with big breasts.
buy
For wearing T-shirts
This is a variation of the contour bra - only without lace, just two perfectly smooth cups. It is believed that lace peeking through a jersey does not look quite decent. However, the bra for wearing T-shirts also needs to be chosen carefully: sometimes the edges of the cups bristle up under the clothes no less challenging.
To suit: Girls who love to see outlines of lace bras are not visible from under their clothes.
buy
Retro shape
This form should be called vintage or at least old-fashioned. From the 40s to the 60s, the bras were sewn along such a specific pattern — with cone-shaped cups that made the breasts look like bullets (in English such bras are called bullet bra). And in 1990, Jean-Paul Gauthier remembered this style, making the famous corset with pointed cups for Madonna's Blond Ambition tour.
To suit: Anyone who loves retro style.
