To go from work to gym to play with ease, you need a variety of bras that provide a comfortable and flattering fit to suit the occasion. With some statistics saying that eight out of 10 women aren’t wearing the correct bra size, it’s essential that you get measured by a professional and find out which bra is not only good for the size of your bust, but the shape too. We’ve rounded up seven must-have bras to invest in, based on your support requirements.

EVERYDAY BRA

Ideal for: Bigger busts
The soft-cup underwire bra is ideal for bigger-busted women who want to prioritise support. A bigger bust usually means moulding, padding and other push-up features are likely not required.

CLASSIC NON-UNDERWIRE BRA

Ideal for: Smaller busts
The everyday non-underwire bra is usually made of a soft, supple, seam-free nylon material. These are ideal for women who don’t require a lot of support, and for the days when you can’t stand the thought of caging your bust.

T-SHIRT BRA

Ideal for: All busts
T-shirt bras are usually made from a smooth, nylon fabric. Their moulded cups allow for a smoother, rounded silhouette underneath clingy cotton vests, camis and T-shirts. The T-shirt bra is also cut lower than that of the everyday bra, which allows you to wear them with lower-cut tops. Although the T-shirt bra contains underwire, it’s still the one you’re most likely to reach for most days of the week due to its pure versatility.

MATERNITY BRA

Ideal for: Pregnant women
Comfort is key here. Make sure you opt for a bra that has wide straps, wide side bands and a wide under-bust band, with a deep centre at the front. Firm elastic straps eliminate bounce and provide extra support. Look for a maternity bra with a minimum of four hooks, as this will allow your bra to grow with you. As pregnancy causes your body temperature to rise, a natural material like cotton is ideal as it will reduce irritation and allow your skin to breathe.

FULL-CUP BRA

Ideal for: Bigger busts
Bigger busts need bras that offer support and stability, and the shapes that best lend themselves to these features are bras with underwire and a sturdy under-bust band, such as full-cup bras. This style balances out the bust and gives it a rounded shape with fantastic lift.

SPORTS BRA

Ideal for: Any bust
The kind of sports bra required depends on the intensity of the workout you plan to do. Far less support is needed for a session of vinyasa yoga versus a fast-paced treadmill or trail-running session. Underwire sports bras are ideal for women who need the support of a normal bra with the comfort suited to exercise. Most sports bras have removable padding, allowing you to keep the padding or remove it depending on your support requirements.

MULTIWAY BRA

Ideal for: Any bust
A multiway bra is a great bra to have in your arsenal as it can accommodate almost any item of clothing, and reduces the need to have many bras for different outfits. Detachable and changeable straps enable you to go from strapless, racerback or halterneck styles with just a few tweaks.

DEEP-PLUNGE BRA

Ideal for: Bigger busts
The deep-plunge is ideal for dresses that are particularly low-cut in the front. You could opt for a multiway with silicone gripping around the band, which will enable you to wear the bra strapless without it slipping, or go for a deep-plunge bra with some lace detail attached to the plunge to vamp up eveningwear.

PUSH-UP BRA

Ideal for: Smaller busts
The push-up bra is best suited to busts that are on the small side as the built-in padding enhances the cleavage, making it perfect for days when you want to wear more revealing blouses or dresses. This style is particularly great for women with asymmetrical busts, as it can even out breast shape and size.

Denim style tip

To rock the baggy denim look, you need to fully commit to this laid-back style. Pair your looser fitting denims with a casual shirt – stripes or a floral print would be first choice – and a pair of understated sneaks.

Accessories are often an afterthought, yet they’re one of the easiest ways to take your look from drab to fab in seconds. These celebs prove just how powerful accessories can be.

1. The beret

A hat makes enough of a statement as is, so look for tones that you can wear with a number of outfits this season and allow the shape to speak for itself. From beret to bowler, cowboy to chupalla, we’re totally committed to making the Little Black Hat (LBH?) a thing this winter. Who’s with us?

2. The belt bag

It’s the ’90s bum bag made cool. Yes, it’s the perfect size for stashing your sunglasses and phone, but can we take a moment for the waist-cinching capabilities of this season’s humble belt bag? Turn a simple little shift dress into a figure-hugging showstopper with what is arguably the most practical gem winter’s offering us this year. Just sling it across your chest for off-duty-model cool.

3. All the jewellery

Calling all magpies! It’s official: more is more this season. Layer, hang, shine and sparkle your way to a winter that glitters and gleams. We’re not above practicality here, and getting a necklace caught in your knitted turtle neck isn’t a look. So, leave the pile of chains for the days you aren’t wearing your Lenny Kravitz-style scarf, and opt for bracelets or statement studs instead.

4. Co-ordinated belt and bag

We’re not hating on being matchy-matchy here. Bring the look from 1950s Vogue and Chanel, and add a modern twist with a touch of silver or snakeskin to prevent your outfit from looking as though it was stolen from your granny’s closet. This is also not the time to pull out your power suit or pencil skirt – contrast your A+ taste in accessories with a more laid-back look – distressed denim and a simple tee is what we’re after here.
