4 Reasons Why the Right Bra Matters


I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for Vanity Fair. I received product samples to facilitate my review and compensation to thank me for my participation.

A bra is truly one of the foundation pieces of your wardrobe and can totally change the way your outfits look. It’s important to not just grab a random bra from a store and assume it will be the right bra for you. Picking out the right bra matters, here are some of the reasons why!

4 Reasons Why the Right Bra Matters

Right Bra Matters

Comfort – It is essential to find a bra that both performs and is comfortable. This shouldn’t be a one or the other scenario. You can’t settle for a bra that is super comfortable but doesn’t support you or vice versa a bra that’s too tight, restricting, or had underwire digging into you. One trick for a more comfortable bra is picking out one with wider bra straps. This Vanity Fair bra I’m wearing is wider than traditional straps, but won’t look strange if your strap slips into view.

Lift – A lot of bras out there won’t give you any lift. If you’ve had babies or are nearing mid-life or older, than this little factor matters! Your bra can help you fit your clothes better and give you confidence, but only if it is doing its job! You want your breasts to be sitting halfway between your shoulders and elbows.

Coverage – This can mean picking a strapless bra, when your outfit calls for it, but also means how much volume the cups can hold. Look for a full coverage bra if you don’t want to reveal any skin or select a modern coverage cut, just knowing their are two main options is important for making sure you feel covered, when needed.

Presentation – The ultimate goal of a good bra is to make you look and feel your best. This really comes down to making sure you’re wearing the right size bra and one that will give you support and a seamless, smooth look.

Wearing the wrong bra can give you an undefined look. This bra above made me look flatter, more wide all around, and gave no definition or shape.

I love my Vanity Fair Body Caress Full Coverage Bra! It is so comfortable and gives me complete support. I was impressed that it was an underwire bra that wasn’t poking into my ribs. I didn’t even realize it was an underwire bra when I first put it on, I had to feel the bra to check! You can criss-cross the straps to fit different tops, as need, which is a neat feature. Plus, it’s tagless, so no itchy back! It’s truly amazing how the right bra matters and can totally change the way you feel.

  1. You are so right! I think most women and young girls are wearing an incorrect bra size. Most have never been taught how to buy the correct one. You can definitely see a difference in your before and after photo.

  2. Heck yes the right bra matters! NOTHING worse that adjusting and moving things around all day. I’m in need of a bra wardrobe change now that I think about it.

  3. I always have a hard time finding the right bra. My straps either dig in, fall, or are just not comfy.

  4. There is not much worse than a bra that doesn’t fit well! Thanks for the information. I may need to do some updating on my own bras!

  5. Always get fitted! That is the one thing I learned the very first time we went shopping for them! Now I am always cautious.

  6. Having the right bra makes all the difference in the world! It is so greta when you find the perfect one.

  7. I just got fitted and was surprised to find out i was wearing the wrong size. My new bra feels so comfy and my shoulders do not hurt anymore.

  8. I try to get fittings yearly and it is amazing how much my size changes. There is nothing like a great bra to make sure things stay in place for as long as possible 😉

  9. The wrong bra can be so very uncomfortable! I found out I was wearing the wrong bra size for years, what a difference the right size made!

  10. i have never been sized for a bra. Till this day I am not sure I am even wearing the correct size. Plus I have been nursing children over the last 10 years and have only worn nursing bra’s!

  11. Seriously I hate bras! I struggle finding the right fit in most bras because if I find one that gives the right lift, then it isn’t comfortable. If I wasn’t about to go into nursing and have to use nursing bras, I’d seriously want to try the Vanity Fair bras and see if I could get something to fit me right.

  12. I agree that a good fit is so important. I definitely feel it if it is a bad fit. Vanity Fair is one of my favorite brands.

  13. I am still looking for the right/perfect bra. Most I buy are okay, get me by but can be uncomfortable and don’t shape properly.

  14. Uncomfortable bras are so awful because they make you feel like you are wearing a tight bra that does not support me. I need to take the time to find the right bra for me. I will have to check out the Vanity Fair bras.

  15. I would like to take the bra fitting challenge to determine the perfect size for me! I’ve been wearing uncomfortable bras for some time now!
