It's time to show off some skin, ladies. I'm not saying to go all KKW on me and free the nipple (unless that's your thing, in which case...go for it!). But a dress with an exposed shoulder or a peek-a-boo back will definitely get you in the spring mood. As you shop around for strappy designs and plunging necklines, don't forget that what goes underneath your clothes is just as important. Sure, a strapless bra works in some cases, but sometimes you'll need something a bit more advanced to keep the girls perky without ruining your outfit. Don't worry if you're not sure where to start. We've put together a guide below that will keep you looking
VIDEO: 6 Investment Pieces Every Woman Should Own
Never met a sale you didn't ♥? #Same.
MULTI WAY DRESS + CONVERTIBLE BRA
Don't let this long-sleeve silhouette fool you. This versatile dress can actually convert into a halter-top, one-shoulder, you name it. For multi-wear designs like this one grab a convertible bra that can also be worn several different ways.
Shop the Look: Norma Kamali dress, $170; net-a-porter.com. Aerie convertible bra, $27; ae.com.
SILK SLIP DRESS + SILCONE PETALS
Strapless bras work for most sleeveless designs, but not those lightweight fabrics. Grab petals that match your skin tone to avoid a bumpy look.
Shop the Look: Topshop slip dress, $60; topshop.com. Target petals, $9; target.com.
WRAP DRESS + PLUNGE BRA
Want to show a little extra cleavage and still feel supported? Look for a design that's made with a deep V.

FITTED DRESS + SMOOTHING BRA
Even when your arms or shoulders aren't exposed, you still need to think twice about your undergarments. A smoothing bra will help you avoid those unflattering lines.
Shop the Look: Uniqlo dress, $50; uniqlo.com. True & Co. bra, $58; nordstrom.com.
