Have you ever found the perfect summer dress or lightweight summer top, only to find out that it’s totally see-through or low cut, and the only way to make it wearable is with a bralette??? Ugh!
If you’ve ever experienced the dread of trying to wear itchy, ill-fitting lacy bralettes in the hot summer, layered under an already complicated outfit… we’re feeling that pain with you. There are two things to note here. First, is that it’s always a good idea to have a comfortable and trustworthy bralette in your lingerie wardrobe to account for these kind of fashion emergencies. Second is that in trying to build your underwear wardrobe, there is NOTHING less exciting than trying on a bunch of itchy bras!!! So we’re going to go ahead and take the guesswork out of the way for you. Skip everywhere else, you have GOT to try out Cosabella’s bralettes.

Why are Cosabella’s Bralettes so amazing? Here’s the thing. These bralettes are made for ALL sizing, petite through plus size. This includes full busted women and small bust! We love all the shapes offered, which allows you to fill your need on support and cut. There are SO many colors to choose from, and if you’re not a big fan of lace they even have plenty of bralettes that forego all the netting. It’s practically impossible to leave Cosabella’s site empty-handed. Their bralette stock is so diverse that there’s a piece in their collection for everybody.

Once your world is opened up to Cosabella’s amazing bralettes, you’ll realize that it’s not just bralettes they carry. Their wide range of sizing and comfort extends to bodysuits, thongs and underwear too.

Meg is an avid believer in having a strong foundation for your outfits. In order to look your very best in your clothes, you have to first have the right bras, underwear and shape wear.

When we’re building our wardrobes to be the best they can be, we often forget about the most basic pieces of all – our underwear. Even though underwear is the literal foundation of every outfit a woman wears, these are the most common pieces to be worn far past their need of replacement.
Check out our guide on building your underwear wardobe, as well as our list of up-and-coming bra and lingerie companies that we love!

Check Your Fit

Ill-fitting bras and stretched out underwear can look unflattering under clothes, leaving a poor foundation for shirts to rest on or loose panty lines that make ridges through your jeans – Yikes! It’s important to eliminate uncomfortable pieces and replace them with high-quality bras and underwear that will last day-to-day wear.

While underwear may mostly come down to situation or personal preference, we love this general underwear guide based on body type titled: I Bet You’re Not Wearing the Right Knickers for Your Shape.

As for bras? That one’s a little less subjective.
Start with identifying your boob-shape, and proceed to look for bras that are said to flatter, support or fill that shape. We love this visual guide by Healthline: What Are the Most Common Breast Shapes?

Check The Wear & Tear

Is the wire poking out of your bra? Straps loose or broken? Is the cup gaping or too tight from weight fluctuation? Is the lace too itchy to wear, or the colors too bright to put on under your clothes? If your bra matches any of these categories, it’s time to throw it out and invest in some better pieces.
For underwear, it’s the same deal. Get rid of pieces that are loose, torn, chunky, itchy or ill-fitting and invest in the right sizes and quality!
