I want to know what you like, what you don\u2019t like, what you\u2019re thinking of trying, and what you wouldn\u2019t touch with a ten foot pole. But for a lot of people, \u201cWhat kind of bras do you like?\u201d is a tough question to answer. So let\u2019s make it easier! Here\u2019s how to pick the right bra for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you want to look?<\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_1242\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1242\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1242\" src=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_1122-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_1122-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_1122-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_1122-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_1122-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_1122-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_1122-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_1122.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1242\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can tell that Panache&#8217;s Lois makes Sam feel cool, comfortable, and confident!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, it\u2019s important to remember that no bra will give you a different body than the one you have. A well-fitted bra can enhance your shape and even change it subtly, but it still has to work with what you\u2019ve got. So, for example, if your boobs are wide-set and <a href=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/a-bra-that-lifts\/\">lower<\/a> on your body, a bra won\u2019t be able to give you mega-cleavage up to your chin. That said, you can still have preferences! Do you like your boobs to look round? Minimized? Super held-in at the sides? If you have a bra you love the look of already, throw it on and spend some time in front of the mirror. What do you like about it?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you want to feel?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is about physical <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> emotional feelings. Are you a \u201cI don\u2019t want to know I\u2019m wearing a bra\u201d type, or a \u201cGive me a nice snug band so I know I\u2019m supported\u201d type? Does lace give you a <a href=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/the-bra-fitter-diaries-what-does-sexy-mean-to-you\/\">sexy<\/a>, luxurious vibe, or does it just make you itch? Like any piece of clothing, there will be some styles that feel more comfortable than others. Think about what matches your gender presentation, your personality, and the rest of your wardrobe. What makes you feel most like you? (It\u2019s okay to not know the answers right away. Try on a bunch of stuff! Trial and error is a perfectly acceptable&#8211;and effective&#8211;method of learning about yourself.)<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you plan to wear it?<\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_826\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-826\" class=\"wp-image-826 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170211_135343-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170211_135343-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170211_135343-600x423.jpg 600w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170211_135343-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170211_135343-1024x722.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170211_135343-700x494.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elomi&#8217;s Bijou t-shirt bra is a popular everyday style.

For example, a boudoir style is usually worn for <em>*ahem*<\/em> shorter periods of time, and tends to be chosen for looks more than function. It might not need to fit as perfectly or be as supportive as your <a href=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/the-bra-fitter-diaries-sports-bras\/\">sports bra<\/a> or the bra you wear to work. Maybe you want something with hardcore support and full coverage for the gym, and something else with smooth cups for max invisibility under your office clothes. Think about when and where you\u2019ll be wearing your bra, what you\u2019ll be doing while you wear it, and what clothing you\u2019ll wear it with.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go forth and experiment!<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have an idea of what you want from a bra, you can get to shopping. Did you figure out that you want a round shape, with smooth cups, no lace, and full coverage? Keep those keywords in mind as you browse online and <a href=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/how-to-read-bra-reviews\/\">read reviews<\/a>. Or just head to your local bra fitting boutique and tell <a href=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/dont-need-bra-fitter-might-want-one\/\">your fitter<\/a> what you want! You don\u2019t have to know all the lingo to pick the right bra; it\u2019s all right not to know the difference between <a href=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/the-bra-fitter-diaries-a-glossary-of-terms\/\">a balconette and a demi<\/a>.
