Bra straps

A few tips for picking out the right bra
Bra Straps

Spaghetti straps, classic straps, low straps, sport straps, lace straps, support straps: straps are not simply an accessory to hold your bra in place. These few millimeters of fabric have their own distinctive character. They can make you happy and comfortable, or irritable as they dig into your shoulders; they can lift you up or let you down... In a word, choosing the right straps should factor into your decision when buying a bra.

Stretch straps provide a controlled fit and comfort. Usually designed with low-stretch elastic to reduce bounce.

Non-stretch or rigid straps sometimes offer support and stability and are ideal for sportswear of full-figured styles. All non-stretch shoulder straps have an elastic release section in the back for comfort and adjustment.

Four different types of straps relieve the pressure from the shoulder and provide the right support and comfort.

  • Shoulder SPA: Inserts of gel to mould and hug the shoulder shape
  • Comfort: Straps are made by laminating 7 layers of pleats and served as cushion.
  • Cushioned straps: Build-up cushioned shoulder straps made of foam or fibrefill.
  • No slip straps: Shoulder straps with tiny rows of silicone gel provide maximum stay-put shoulder comfort.

The wider the strap, the more comfortable it will be.

There are bra designs that offer convertible straps, allowing them to be positioned or removed depending on the cut of your clothing. Classic, no strap, one strap, racer back, backless or halter... how do you wear your bra? It’s all a question of straps!

If you like to wear bustiers, you can buy a strapless bra, but if you’re not comfortable with this style or if you want to be trendy, you can purchase clear or colored straps separately. Just be sure your bra straps are detachable so that you have the necessary fastening points to change your straps.
