7 Bras to Work with Every Item in Your Wardrobe

Let's face it: bra shopping can be confusing. Between with the hundreds of different brands and different styles, finding your favorite fit is a science. Thus, we spoke to Journelle's Claire Chambers about the seven bras every woman should own, no matter the occasion.

T-Shirt Bra

This is smooth enough for the sheerest silk blouse. Buy it in a skin tone for maximum blending, or black for an edgier look.

Strapless Bra

Today's best-sellers feature removable straps and multi-way positioning to provide solutions for the trickiest dresses.

Everyday Smooth Lace

Most women worry that lace isn't for everyday, but the right fit and modern smooth laces make these bras just as wearable as a (boring!) T-shirt bra.

Padded Plunge

This is great under deep plunging necklines. It is the modern equivalent of a push-up.

Natori, $68; journelle.com.

Lacy Demi

This is your version of a three-piece suit (pair with matching suspenders and undies). Every woman should have a power lingerie set for special occasions—date night, etc.

Chantelle, $110; journelle.com.

Racerback

A racerback combines a smooth shape and great plunge (hello cleavage) with a pretty back that looks great peeking out under a summer tank.

Montelle, $44; journelle.com.

Wireless

They're not just for A and B cups—wireless bras are surprisingly versatile and are perfect for lazy Saturday mornings or running errands around the neighborhood when comfort is key.
