Bandeau bra

Bra Shopping

A bandeau bra is one of the unique specialty bras that comes without bra straps, and gets its name from the "band of lingerie" that is wrapped around a woman’s breasts.

Some bandeau bras slide on over the head as they have no back closure. There are also different types of bras that can be fastened at the back with traditional hooks or even snaps.

And, some convertible bras come with removable straps or hooks that you can add straps to if needed. The bra straps can be crossed at the back or changed to for halter necks.

The support these brassieres offer varies. While some offer little or no support, others provide light support because of their shaped cups.

If, enhanced cleavage is what you need, consider bandeau padded push up bras. Those with an under wire offer maximum support, while those with double lined bra cups offer modest coverage.

Bra Shopping

The perfect bandeau should peek out from beneath a jacket, a low neck top, a deep V neck top, or a button up blouse where the top few buttons are left undone.

When bra shopping, remember the color of your clothing and your bra should either match or be in contrasting colors. Brassieres with lined cups could be worn with sheer fabrics so that they would be easily visible.

You can choose from a range of colors and designs. The ones with ruching add a more interesting element to the lingerie undergarment.

The back of the bra varies a bit from style to style too. While some have tapered backs, some are the same width all the way around.

Some styles like the bandeau bikini bra can be worn as sports wear. These are trendy, stylish and chic.

Keep in mind that you should always buy the correct bra size. Check the back and make sure that it is perfect for your outfit, and most important, make sure you get the support you want.

The seamless bandeau is very comfortable and usually made from a stretchy, soft fabric like microfiber, so you don’t have to bother with hooks.

You can wear these with or without bra straps. Avoid using invisible or clear plastic straps as they always end up being visible and are not particularly pretty.

Choose your brassieres properly and you're sure to look and feel fabulous in your strapless and summer outfits. All you need is a little imagination and you will be surprised you could look so fantastic.
