How many bras do I really need, we get asked this question often. Seven is the magic number, four is the minimum, your needs may differ pending your lifestyle and wardrobe requirements.
Style, level of detailing and colour also factor into your requirements. We suggest light and dark coloured bra options for wearing under different coloured clothing. Nude-coloured bras are not the only colour option! You may love a bra so much that you buy the same bra in a light and dark colour option.
A T-shirt Bra, or smooth bra is a nice for wearing under closer fitting garments if you are looking for a rounded appearance. Bras with a smooth appearance are also offered in non-memory foam styles as a lighter, less formed option.

The different necklines of our outfits often require different bras. A balcony bra will sit beautifully underneath scoop and round necks whereas plunge and push up bras can also be worn underneath deep V-necks. Full cups provide optimum support but can come up higher in the cup, making them more suited to higher necklines.
Worried about lost volume? A balcony bra will lift your bust and add volume to the top part of the bust. Push up bras will also create the illusion of a fuller and firmer bust.
80% of a bra’s support comes from the back band. Often women opt for a looser band as they think this will be more comfortable but actually this puts more pressure on the shoulders and causes discomfort. If your band rides up at the back, go down a size!
