WEEKEND STYLE GUIDE // 5 SIGNS THAT YOU ARE WEARING THE WRONG SIZE BRA

I’m sure you’re all aware of the benefits to wearing the correct size underwear - the difference it can make to your figure (it can make you look slimmer) and how well clothes fit you.  You're also probably aware of what happens if you don't wear the right size bra -  the bad posture, the terrible back ache, and the ill-fitting clothes.  But how many of you are wearing the right size?  And do you know how to detect this?


I'm a trained bra fitter and can tell pretty much immediately if a client is in the right size bra or not, and if they aren't, it's crucial that I address this before we start the styling session.  There is little point in trying on clothes until she is wearing the correct size bra as the right size will not only lift and enhance a bust, it will enhance (and in some cases un-cover) a waist.  Dressing to suit your shape is one thing, but if you’re not wearing the right underwear your efforts will go to waste.

You’re underwear forms the foundations of your outfit.  Get it right and your clothes will fit better and be far more flattering, and you'll be much more comfortable! So how do you tell if you're wearing the right size or not?  There are a few very telling signs:

  1. The cups of your bra ride up when you reach up.
  2. Your bra straps constantly fall down.
  3. The strap across your back rides up.
  4. Your bust bulges out of the cup.
  5. Your bust doesn't fill the cup properly.

Of course, some of these can be the result of wearing the wrong shape bra and not the wrong size, but if any of the above signs sound familiar to you, I highly recommend you head to your local lingerie boutique or pop into Macy's or Nordstrom (who both offer a complimentary bra fitting service) and get yourself fitted properly, you won't regret it!
