Looking for a smooth look under your clothing that won’t draw any attention to your breasts? Then look no further as we unwrap what makes a bra a ‘t-shirt bra’ and help you find the best style for your needs.
Have you ever wondered what makes a bra a t-shirt bra? The biggest element of a t-shirt bra is that there are no seams on the cup, giving you a smooth, seam-free look under t-shirts or dresses.
Another surprising fact is that not all t-shirt bras are padded. T-shirt bras can come in moulded, non-padded as well as padded options, so the choices are really quite endless.
A big myth we would like to dispel is that ladies think t-shirt bras have to be boring and drab. While some styles can be a bit of a mood killer, there are also some really gorgeous styles that have either intricate lace or a pretty pattern on the fabric.
So what is your t-shirt bra style?
For ladies that just want a plain and simple, uncomplicated bra – one without any lace detailing on the side of the cup or on the cradle or backstrap – we recommend the Panache Porcelain Elan. This style comes in nude, white and black, and offers three different styles – from a plunge style, which is great for those tops or dresses that are cut slightly lower, as well as a balconette style for ladies wanting more coverage over the breast. Both these styles are padded and for ladies who are concerned about nipple stands, this is a fabulous option. The third style is non-padded and comes in black or nude. For some women, padded bras make them feel even larger than they already feel, so this non-padded option will be a great fit. All three styles offer swan hooks on the back of the shoulder straps, allowing you to wear it as a cross-over back and making it quite versatile.
If you are looking for a bra with a little bit of detail, then you could look at either the Ana Moulded or the Cari spacer moulded. Both these styles add a touch of femininity, with either some lace on the cradle or a beautiful print on the actual fabric of the cup. As these are moulded, they offer a breathable, lightweight spacer fabric that moulds with the breast shape and gives a more rounded shape.
If you’re the sort of lady that really wants to embrace being a woman, and enjoy all that that encompasses, including lace lingerie, then there are options like Radiance from the Panache collection. The non-padded cups offer a gorgeous flat lace that won’t shine through clothing. This style also has a J-hook option, making it very versatile.
If your school or work uniform is a white shirt or dress and you really don’t want to draw attention to your under-clothing, then depending on your skin tone, we suggest wearing either a nude t-shirt bra for fairer skins or a caramel/black option for darker skin tones.
As you can see, there really is a wide range of styles to choose from when it comes to t-shirt bras and we urge you to try styles you wouldn’t normally consider – you might be pleasantly surprised.
