Part 2 of a 3 Part Series: The Everyday Essential

The bra that disappears under everything.

A T-shirt bra is the ultimate everyday staple designed with smooth, lightly lined cups to ensure a seamless look under clothing. At Suelto, we prefer styles with minimal lining as they contour more naturally to your shape and virtually disappear beneath your wardrobe. 

For moments when you're looking for a little extra oomph, we recommend the little black push-up bra: not your everyday but she certainly has a time and place in your foundations.  

SHAPE MATTERS 

T-shirt bras typically come in three shapes: demi, plunge, and heart.

• Demi cup styles sit lower across the chest with wider-set straps and a higher center gore (where the wires meet between the cups). They’re a great choice for women with fuller tissue at the bottom of the breast, since the open neckline doesn’t require extra volume at the top. If you often find straps slipping off your shoulders, though, demi cups may not be the best match.

• Plunge cup styles offer a bit more coverage, with a lower center gore and straps that sit closer together. Many plunge bras feature convertible straps or a j-hook for a cross-back option, giving you added versatility. Their fuller coverage helps keep breast tissue secure and supported through the day.

• A heart shape offers a sweetheart neckline and a shallow depth cup. This may be a great option for smaller, less dense breasts. Think mature tissue or post nursing. The shoulder straps are more narrowly placed and most offer convertible straps or a j-hook for a cross-back option.

  
  

While we love the everyday ease of a t-shirt bra, we don’t usually recommend foam cups for most breasts sized H cup and above. Foam simply can’t offer the structure needed to lift and support beautifully. For fuller or heavier breasts, we turn to seamed bras, true feats of architecture and engineering, that create projection and shape while keeping the weight supported by the band (never the shoulders). No uniboobs, no shoulder divots. Just confidence and comfort.
