It can definitely be tempting to go without a bra while #stuckathome (guilty as charged). But doing so may not be the best idea after all. Below, the pros at Vancouver’s Diane’s Lingerie (where online shopping continues, with 20 per cent off all purchases and free shipping on orders over $100, and staff are still available by phone and email and on social media to answer your fit questions) give us the top five benefits of keeping your supportive bra on. —Vita Daily
it boosts your confidence. Lingerie is powerful. When you put it on you feel strong, confident and sexy. Plus, a well-fitted bra is less distracting, can improve your outfit and makes you feel your absolute best. The Delice unlined plunge by Simone Pérèle fits a wide variety of breast types and is a soft and sensual shape essential to any woman’s wardrobe.
reduces sagging and gives great shape. Gravity is still at work—even if we’re not. Your breasts are held up naturally by internal ligaments that break down over time, and a good bra can keep your girls higher for longer. Cassiopée by Empreinte is made with supportive, non-stretch, moulded lace that brings the ladies front and centre, gives a nice round shape and is seamless under tops.
improves posture and reduces back pain. Especially true for those with larger busts, not having enough support can affect your posture and lead to back pain. A good bra takes the weight off so your back doesn’t have to work so hard. PrimaDonna Deauville is an everyday basic with deep cups that contain large breasts and soft tissue, plus a firm band and wide straps help keep everything in place.
smaller cups still need a little support. Boobies in all sizes deserve support, and even small breasts will sag over time. And pretty bras without wires won’t do the trick—go for something that’s well made and supportive. The Tom T-shirt bra from Marie Jo is made specifically for smaller cup sizes, with convertible straps and lightly padded cups that give natural cleavage without extra bulk.
it’s all about balance. Some days you just don’t want to wear a bra, which is OK (in moderation). Bralettes are a great alternative for those days when you want more comfort, and certain styles are fairly supportive. The Cosabella Evolution bralette is made especially for larger busts and smaller rib cages, with a hook-and-eye closure for custom fit, smooth Italian microfiber and convertible straps.
