Best Bras For Winter Styles

Baby it's cold outside, and that means we'll need to update our wardrobe — including your bras. Choosing the right bra for your top or dress can make all the difference. Here are some insider tips to finding your perfect match this season.
Best Bra for Tight, Long-Sleeve Shirts
One winter time essential is a tight, long-sleeve shirt. You’ll want a bra that both preserves your shape and minimizes bulging, since the shirt is tight.
For this, we recommend a full coverage bra with molded cups and wide, smoothing wings. A bra like this will smooth your back and preserve your shape.
Best Bra for Sweaters
Another popular winter style is a big, comfy sweater. The issue with sweaters, especially if you’re busty, is that your chest can make the sweater tent out, which can make you appear wider than you intend.
A minimizer bra is a great option that preserves your shape. In a pinch, you can even wear a sports bra to help flatten your chest a bit so the billowy fabric lays nicely.
Best Bra for Deep V-Neck Dresses and Tops
Winter is holiday party time, and long sleeve dress or party tops with deep, plunging V-necks are an always-chic option. Obviously, these tops can be extremely hard to style — especially if you need a bra for support — which is where a deep plunge bra comes in. You’ll get support from the underwire and sturdy foam cups, but the lower gore lets you wear something lower cut without sacrificing support.
