That\u2019s why we\u2019re so chatty &#8211; we\u2019re trying to figure you out! One of the first questions we\u2019ll ask is, \u201cWhat kind of bra are you looking for today?\u201d The answer varies from person to person. \u201cBlack!\u201d \u201cNothing lacy!\u201d \u201cBeige!\u201d \u201cWireless!\u201d \u201cSomething fun!\u201d \u201cA really sexy bra!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of these requests are pretty clear &#8211; a bra is either wireless or it\u2019s not, you know? But some requests are more ambiguous. When someone asks for a sexy bra, I always have follow up questions! \u201cSexy\u201d means something a little different to everyone, especially when it comes to their own personal style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This goes hand in hand with what we talked about in our post on <a href=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/the-bra-fitter-diaries-getting-the-most-out-of-your-bra-fitting\/\">preparing for a bra fitting<\/a>. Think about the words you\u2019d use to describe your preferred style, and then break down what those words mean to you in concrete terms. It\u2019s sort of like when you\u2019re getting a new haircut or colour &#8211; the more specific you are in your description, the more likely you are to get the look you\u2019ve been dreaming of. It\u2019s the difference between, \u201cI want something cool, a little grungy and tousled,\u201d and \u201cI want Kristen Stewart\u2019s look, as seen in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laineygossip.com\/Kristen-Stewart-says-relationship-with-Robert-Pattinson-made-into-product-wasnt-real-life-in-interview-with-T-Magazine-gushes-about-girlfriend-Alicia-Cargile\/44681?celebrityId=20481\">this picture<\/a> I found on LaineyGossip a couple of months ago.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_193\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-193\" class=\"wp-image-193\" src=\"http:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983.jpg\" alt=\"Ewa Michalak's Cappuccino, a classic &quot;sexy&quot; bra\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/broadlingerie.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6687-e1461275938983-700x700.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-193\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ewa Michalak&#8217;s Cappuccino, a classic sexy bra<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, there are some assumptions we can make when \u201csexy\u201d is the goal. Sexy bras are often:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lacy, perhaps even sheer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low cut<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black, or red, or an animal print<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Push-up styles<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there are loads of people who feel sexiest in hot pink, or deep blue, or a more \u201cnatural\u201d cup shape. There are some people who feel more itchy than sexy when faced with lace, or don\u2019t quite feel like themselves in a plunge bra. For example, if you asked Sam to pick out a super sexy bra for herself, there\u2019s about a 99% chance that she\u2019ll come up with something beige, probably with a \u201cvintage look\u201d pointy cup. It\u2019s not my style, and maybe not yours, but to her that\u2019s what sexy means! She\u2019s got her reasons, too:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBecause I\u2019ve worked in lingerie so long, I guess nothing\u2019s shocking anymore. I have drawers full of lacy, sheer black bras. So now beige (a colour I once avoided) suddenly seems transgressive and edgy to me!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re the boss of your bod, and you get to decide what sexy means to you! Tell us what you want, and we\u2019ll get you the Kristen Stewart\u2019s haircut of bras &#8211; or, you know, whatever you\u2019re dreaming of.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s so much to consider in a bra fitting: technical fit points, matching bra shape to body shape, personal comfort and style preferences&#8230;the list goes on.
