Tank tops are always in style. These sleeveless shirts are breathable, casual and perfect for wearing alone or layering. Pairing a tank top with the right style of bra can help you look great and feel comfortable when the temperature rises. Wireless, strapless and racerback bras are three styles to try wearing with tank tops this summer.
Wireless Bras
Many women consider wireless bras to be more comfortable than underwire bras. Wireless bras provide more flexible support. Finding your accurate bra size is essential to get the most support from a wireless bra. Measure under your bust and add two inches to an even measurement or three inches to an odd measurement to determine your band size. Next, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Subtract your band size from your bust to determine your cup size.
Once you know your bra size, look for a wireless bra with precision sizing options, such as options for cups in half sizes, for the best fit. You can also choose from casual bralettes or soft bras without wires. Wireless shapewear can provide compression. No matter which style you choose, wireless bras are easy to wear with tank tops.
Comfortable Strapless Bra
You may prefer the versatility of a comfortable strapless bra when wearing tank tops. Some of the most popular strapless bras have convertible straps. You can wear these styles without straps, with standard over-the-shoulder straps or in a criss-cross racerback configuration. The straps on a convertible bra are easy to hide under any tank top.
Band and cup size are even more important when wearing a bra without straps. Knowing your bra sister sizes can be helpful if you need a strapless bra that has a larger or smaller band to prevent slipping. The sister size up from your size is one band size higher and one cup size smaller, such as 36C and 38B. The sister size down is one band size lower and one cup size larger, which would be 34D for 36C.
Racerback Bras
Many tank tops are racerback styles with straps that meet high on the back. Racerback and convertible bras with the option to cross the straps in the back offer low-profile support for these shirts. Many sports bras also have a racerback profile for support. Convertible strapless bras can be the best option if you want to be able to wear straps with standard and racerback tank tops and have the option to go strapless.
Whether you prefer the feel of a wireless bra, a strapless look or the support of a racerback bra, all of these bra styles are good choices to wear with tank tops. You may also want to consider the color of the bras you wear with light-colored shirts. Black, dark or bold bra colors can be visible through some tank tops. Choose a nude bra for minimum visibility. Factor in your bra size and preferences for fit and style to get the best bras to pair with sleeveless shirts this summer.
