Bra For Different Occasions
There are over 50 different kinds of bras that exist. Forget about owning them, we might not even know what all they are. However, they do serve different purposes. Do you switch to a particular bra while going to a party or do you wear the same one you do while attending the office? Most likely you wear the same type of bra, the one you find supportive and comfortable. However, did you know different bras exist for different occasions? Well, don’t worry we’re here to help you out with that.
Bras For Party
While partying you want be comfortable but also want a bra that goes with your outfits. If you plan on wearing a wide neck top, you can pair it with balconette bra or if you wish to wear a tube dress it would go well with a strapless bra underneath. If your outfit has a deep neck, you can also wear plunge bra that has angled demi cups that compliment low-cut tops & dresses. But if you want to be sexy & divert all that attention on you, then opt for push-up bra that raises up the oomph factor.

Bras For Sports & Gym
Ordinary bras cannot fulfil your gym needs. You cannot get the desired compression & support that’s required while performing physical exercises with a regular bra. That’s where sports bras come to your rescue. They are designed with extreme stretchability for no restrictive movements, are breathable & quick dry to keep you sweat-free during intense workouts. They come in different impacts, allowing you to select the one you need based on the activity you’ll be using them for. Low & medium impacts are good for yoga, running or even Zumba but high-intensity workouts and gym require high-impact sports bras.
Bras For School
During school, girls wear beginner or teen bras that are designed keeping in mind their needs & preferences. These bras have soft padded cups that are non-wired to avoid poking in the chest area. They have adjustable straps and are usually a slip-on style with no hook & eye closures to avoid discomfort. Teen bras are available in cute prints, colours & designs apart from basic nude shades that go well with uniforms.
Bras For Office
With the ACs blaring, most women are bound to feel cold in the office. And what happens when you feel cold? The embarrassing headlight effect. To avoid this from happening, a padded T-shirt bra is best for office wear. You can get it in different colours, prints & designs. Some even have detachable straps so you can wear them as a racerback or swap them with transparent straps when required. Also, wearing a light-coloured or white shirt/top is quite common in the office. Do remember to pair it with a nude bra so that it blends with your skin & isn’t visible under white outfits.
