How To Avoid Visible Bra Lines
East London punks aren’t the only ones who sometimes want to rip off their bras and set them ablaze. Sometimes it’s less about systemic issues and society, and more because it’s ruining your sick look. Bra lines get the best of us, be it in a gown or a t-shirt, and we’re here to put an end to it.
Ways That Your Bra Can Show Through Your Shirt
To fix a problem, first you must understand the ways it rears its ugly head. Here’s some of the ways your bra is making you go “aaaah!”
Visible Bra Straps
This is a harmless, yet highly noticeable culprit. Sometimes, a bra and your top have entirely different things in mind. Your shirt may say “hey world, get a load of these shoulders,” and then your bra straps are like “yo.”
Visible Bra Lines
These are certainly sneakier, but sometimes your bra outline will show under whatever clothing you wear. It can even happen with a no-line bra, which is usually a sign that your bra doesn’t fit properly. We’ll go into that in a bit.
Visible Bra Wear and Tear
Some things just don’t fit the way they used to. When a bra or bra lining gets past its prime, it can create a harsh line when clothes are layered on top of it. Sometimes they just gotta get retired, poor things.
What Causes a Bra Outline That Shows Through Your Shirt?
We’re going to get a little more in depth with this issue, because knowledge is power, and power is how you take control of your life. We want to give you that control, because it’s tasty.
Incorrect Size or Fit
The number one cause of bra issues is the fit. A recent study found that 80% of women unknowingly wear the wrong size bra. Spillage from a bra that’s too small or gaps from a bra that’s too big are the likely culprits when it comes to unflattering lines or creases. If you think you may have the wrong bra size measurements, check out our blog on how to measure your bra size.
The Bra is Worn Out
When the elastic in a bra wears out, it can create a curling effect around the edges. No matter how much you smooth and press, the truth is it may simply be time to part ways with old faithful. Even if she did get you through some pretty cool parties in college, you have to move on at some point. RIP to a legend.
Fabric & Fit
Sometimes fabrics simply don’t mesh. A shirt or dress in one fabric may catch or stick to a bra of another fabric. It gets annoying when they work well separately, but can’t come together to make you look good. Why can’t they all just get along?
