Some girls love the structured shape of padded bras, while others enjoy the natural bulk-free fit of non-padded bras.<\/p>\n<h3>Outfit Type<\/h3>\n<p>The type of clothing you wear determines the type of bra you should choose. Fitted outfits often pair better with padded bras, while loose fit dresses work well with non-padded bras.<\/p>\n<h3>Occasion<\/h3>\n<p>Different occasions call for different types of support and style. While padded bras may be ideal for formal outfits that you wear at work and non-padded bras are better suited for casual or everyday dresses\/loungewear.<\/p>\n<h3>Weather and Climate<\/h3>\n<p>In hot and humid conditions, non-padded bras offer better breathability since they are not padded or add any extra layer to your bust. In cooler environments, padded bras may feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n<h2>Summing it up!<\/h2>\n<p>Both padded and non-padded bras have their own pros and cons. The right choice ultimately depends on your needs, outfits, comfort factor and lifestyle. As a corporate girl, I suggest you should have a versatile collection of both types of bras to go with all your outfits instead of choosing just one. Now that you know the secret sauce behind both the bras, don\u2019t wait any longer and check out Clovia\u2019s latest collection of padded and non-padded bras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As girls, finding the right bra is always a matter of concern for girls.
