Optimise every outfit with these basic bras

How many basic bras do you actually need? The right lingerie is essential when it comes to making the most of every outfit. Even if you own a collection of glamorous showstoppers, there are still some must-have bras you need to be truly ready for anything.

Not only do you need the right fit and style, you also need bras in the right colors to ensure you’re prepared for every outfit. And with the festive season approaching, don’t let the wrong lingerie stop you from wearing the right dress.

If you wear a larger cup size, you know all too well that going braless under a beautiful dress is not always an option. With an assortment of basic bras, you make sure you’re comfortable and supported no matter what you wear. We’ve put together a list of must-have bras especially for you, including examples from two of our biggest brands: PrimaDonna and Marie Jo.

1. White bra

A white bra is a staple for any lingerie collection. Whether you’re wearing an office shirt or a linen tee on the weekend, go for a classy look under your favorite white tops. Keep it plain, or choose something with a little lace or embroidery for an elegant touch.

2. Neutral bra

A neutral bra that’s close to your skin color is the most inconspicuous bra in your lingerie drawer. Wear it under almost anything for the support you need, and to create a fabulous silhouette without drawing attention to the bra itself.

3. Black bra

With a top-quality black bra, you’re ready for every festive occasion. Of all the must-have bras in your drawer, this one is the most chic and mysterious. It’s perfect for providing support under your little black dress, blending in under a black top, or making a statement under something sheer.

4. Strapless bra

There are no two ways about it: if you want support when wearing a strapless dress or top, you need a strapless bra. Ensure you have a good one in your collection, and whether you’re wearing a cute summer top or an elegant ball gown, your bare shoulders provide the perfect backdrop.

5. T-shirt bra

A T-shirt bra is the secret weapon of lingerie. It creates the perfect silhouette under loose clothes while remaining completely invisible. And it’s incredibly comfortable: you’re fully supported, yet it feels like you’re not wearing a bra at all.
