The story behind the invention of t-shirt bras was not a fanciful one, nor was it ground -breaking at the time. But, it’s fair to say that this thoughtful and robust design has changed the lives of many forever. The t-shirt bra was designed in the early millennium and soon became a staple for women all over the world. The trusted t-shirt bra is the perfect everyday bra and a style that you can mindlessly choose in the morning as it’s versatile under many outfits. This guide details everything you need to know about t-shirt bras; read on for more.
Essentially a t-shirt bra is the perfect bra solution for daily wear, particularly under fitted clothing. A t-shirt bra is often recognised for its clean design and smooth moulded cups, making it a great style to wear under fitted t-shirts. Moulded cups are round forms of synthetic fibres or heat-moulded foam; this helps maintain a rounded shape. This process creates beautifully smooth cups that eliminate those pesky bra lines under your clothes. T-shirt bras come in many different forms; they can be wire-free or with underwire and with padded or moulded cups.
T-shirt bras work well for most women. This is because the purpose-driven style makes it work wonders on a variety of breast shapes. As we mentioned before, t-shirt bras come in several different types. So, no matter what your preference is on underwire or padding, you have the opportunity to pick a style that works best for you. This flexibility makes it a go-to bra style for many women of all different shapes and sizes.
A t-shirt bra is an extremely popular everyday style. The comfortable design means you can wear your favourite t-shirt bra all day, knowing everything is secured in place. The minimalist design virtually disappears under your clothes which is perfect for workdays. So, if you’re looking for a comfortable bra to wear to work or heading out for a night on the town, you can count on the faithful t-shirt bra.
It is possible to have a t-shirt contour bra, but not all contour bras are t-shirt bras. Because some t-shirt bras are called t-shirt contour bras, many think it is the same style, but this isn’t the case. T-shirt bras can be unlined and unpadded and therefore do not necessarily sculpt your breast shape in the way a contour bra would. A contour bra always has moulded cups and is designed to enhance your natural shape. So, if you’re looking for the best of both worlds, opt for a t-shirt contour bra.
