One of my best friends came to stay with us and he gave me this wonderful idea! So thank you Thom Tom <3
Just a fun little fact to start this post off – Did you know that 85% of women are in the wrong bra size, because I do, and quite frankly it scares me.
I worked for Victoria’s Secret for four years, and I am pretty positive I have seen everything there is to see, and that is not necessarily a good thing.
So here are some basic things you need to know about bras:
- You should have two boobs, not four… And DEFINITELY not a uniboob.
- The back strap of the bra should be even across your back, not closer to your shoulders, not closer to your butt… Right.In.The.Middle.
- Make sure you get measured every 6 months. Our bodies do really weird and crazy things.
- The hot colors this season in lingerie – Mint, Coral, Purple. (Because that’s the really important thing)
- The three basic colors are nude, black, and white.
o Nude: THE BEST COLOR – Stock up in them – They go under white, they go under black, they go under everything!
o Black: Probably the sexiest color, and 2nd most practical. But I am a fan of nude, even though it’s not the sexiest color.
o White: WHITE BRAS DO NOT GO UNDER WHITE SHIRTS! You will look like you entered a wet T-Shirt contest. Stop it.
- Always wear your bra on the most loose hook, as it stretches you can tighten it, once it’s stretched out, there is no going back. You’re welcome.
- Every brand has a different measuring system, just because you are a 34C in one store, does not mean you are a 34C in every store.
- I’m not saying you have to buy expensive bras, but the reason they are expensive is because they will be comfortable and you will have them for a long time.
- Lace will always be more flattering because it is very supportive and it won’t give you weird lines if you wear a tight shirt.
- Pay attention to the care instructions!! I don’t think I can stress that enough.
- If you have a bigger chest, I assure you, push up bras are NOT out of the question – They offer great lift and support and are more comfortable. (In my opinion and expertise)
- For the guys:
o When you are talking to a woman with a bigger chest, do not ask her if she is a 423DDD – The band size is her measurement around, so congratulations, you just called her a hippo.
o More importantly, do not ever ask a woman her bra size, unless you plan on buying them for her because she needs them.
o DO NOT go into a store, point to a girl and say “My girlfriend/fiancé/wife is built like her” – That’s creepy.
o CHECK HER OTHER BRAS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE IF YOU ARE BUYING HER BRAS. There is a tag on them. Read it.
o Women don’t like lingerie as gifts. That is a gift to yourself. If you do buy lingerie – Buy a bra and panty set that will be useful for every day.
Hopefully this post has given you all the necessary information about bras, and also taught men that we don’t like lingerie for special occasions.
