Fall is a season… not something your boobs should do.
-Taryne J. Thorpe
Not that I'm the Lingerie guru or anything but… people have been asking me: what are the top 7 must-have bras for your wardrobe? This is perfect timing for entering into the fall season and for anyone going back to school will get a chance to tackle these categories and will always have the appropriate look for ANY ensemble!
-T-SHIRT
-STRAPLESS
-T-BACK/RACER BACK
-MINIMIZER
-PUSH UP
-SPORT
-LOUNGE
1. You must own a basic everyday t-shirt bra. This style should be moderate coverage and you should be able to wear it with anything from a white tee all the way to a formal gown. This will be a staple in your bra wardrobe.

2. Fashion has changed and once upon a time, you only needed a great fitting strapless bra during the summer months or for special events. Not so much anymore... a strapless, is now necessary all year long! I recommend purchasing two per year depending on how often you wear them, since they will stretch out slightly faster than a regular bra. One nude and one black because both colors are necessary.
3. A t-back or racer back bra. Current designers of brands such as anthro, free people, top shop and nasty girl etc. have focused immensely on cut-outs, missing shoulders and draping necklines now being the standard. With a strappy bralette it's trendy and super sexy when it shows, but if you wear these brands with an exposed regular bra, it does your ensemble such a disservice!
4. Have you ever wore that fall season buttoned down jean/denim shirt? This is a classic look, but there's nothing classic about when your buttons are screaming (hanging on by threads) and ready to pop open because you're wearing the wrong under garments! First and foremost, let's make sure you're purchasing the correct size shirt. If you're like me, you'll need to go petite so that you can get the right fit in the bust and not have so much fabric everywhere else. But every girl needs a minimizing bra no matter what size she is. Get an unlined smooth lace bra or bralette that may not technically be labeled a "minimizer", but will act as one. Numerous amounts of brands specialize in this style. If you're a D cup and lower, try Calvin Klein unlined bra's, urban outfitters, free people or hanky panky lace bralettes. If you're a DD cup and higher, try unlined Freya, Wacoal, Chantelle or Panache bras. Some of these brands go up to a U.S 'L' so I'm sure most of you gals can find something suitable to meet your needs.

5. The ever so sexy push up bra is definitely a must! A push up bra depending on what size you are can mean two totally different things. Some of you ladies in Gs and H cups feel like you may not need a push up, but every push up bra does not have additional padding. It simply gives you great lift and an awesome profile and definition which Every woman needs no matter her size. The smaller cup ladies would be able to get away with additional padding, if that's what they desire. Big or small one must be high and lifted up!!!
6. Sports bra. I know, I know this is a touchy subject because we over promise to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, only to stop and start again so much that it's sickening even to ourselves! The secret is to make the investment in a quality sports bra so that when you decide to execute discipline, you're already covered in this area. We all know how painful it is to workout unsupported in your bust-eek!
7. After a long week of school and Saturday night delights your Sunday lounge wardrobe must be Everything!!! Lounge bras are amongst my favorite things right now! Again, based on your size this could mean many things. D cups and under can circle back around to the bralettes and bandeaus.

DD cups and above can indulge in beautiful lace bralettes as well, you just have to research and locate the ones that are made for fuller fits. For example: Wacoal's 'Halo Lace' wireless bras can fit up to a G cup depending on your band size.
