When it comes to choosing your outfit, how often do you think about your bra choices? For some of us it can be an afterthought. However, your lingerie is the foundation to any outfit, it can be practical but also help you feel fabulous and confident in whatever you’re wearing. So, the next time you’re planning your outfit, don’t leave out your precious bra! Luckily, we’ve created a guide that will help you match your bra to the occasion. 

A tonal bra

Every woman needs a tonal bra to match their skin tone. If you don’t like your bra showing through your clothing than a tonal bra is for you. Whether it’s a t-shirt bra or a full cup coverage bra, having a tonal bra in your lingerie collection to match your skin tone will save you from any wardrobe malfunctions. The Viva Luxe Underwired Bra is available in several beautiful tonal colours, featuring beautiful satinesque cups that give you a smooth silhouette and offer you all the support and coverage of a full cup.

A black bra

Whilst tonal bras are great if you want your bra to go unnoticed, when worn with darker coloured clothing they tend to stand out even more! That’s why you need a black bra at the ready. You can always rely on a black bra to compliment your outfit whether it can be seen or not!

A t-shirt bra

If you love wearing a t-shirt and jeans, then you need a t-shirt bra! Equally if you are looking for a smooth and flattering finish under your outfit then a t-shirt bra is a must! Smooth and seamless, t-shirt bras go with everything and give you a lovely, rounded shape. That doesn’t necessarily mean mega padding either, unless you want it to! If you’re looking for a lightly padded t-shirt bra, try the Opulence T Shirt Non-Wired Bra.

A strapless bra

Most of us avoid strapless bras due to previous bad experiences. From having to regularly adjust yourself to stop slipping, strapless bras can feel like more work than their worth. But trust us when we say, they are a lingerie drawer must-have. At Pour Moi, our strapless bras fit your body perfectly, so you never have to worry about them slipping and becoming uncomfortable. The best-selling Definitions Strapless Bra offers a super smooth silhouette with moulded cups, underwiring and a wider band for extra support. 

Perfect for those occasions when you don’t want your bra straps to show, strapless bras are a must. If you have larger boobs, look for a strapless bra that has a wider band and underwiring for maximum support and security. Remember that strapless bras are versatile, so you can also use them with straps. This means you can use your strapless bra for multiple occasions.

A plunge bra

If you have a special occasion coming up, a plunge bra will probably be your best friend. Special occasion often calls for unique dressing, often low-cut tops or necklines, backless just to name a few and your bra needs to match that. That’s where a plunge bra comes in. With angled cups that come up low at the centre this makes plunge bras the perfect accompaniment with your low-cut or deep V-neck top or dress. The Rebel Padded Plunge Bra is a fabulous choice, with its super soft textured lace and removable pads for you to pick whether you want and added boost or not.

A convertible bra

Probably the most versatile bra you’ll ever own. A convertible or multiway bra can be worn in a variety of ways for multiway styling, whether its strapless, one shoulder or halter neck. Whether you’re wearing a halter neckline, strapless silhouettes, or low-back number, you can tweak the straps to match any silhouette.
