Bras are just some of the underrated items in our closets. We just mindlessly put them on, and sometimes, we don't even bother if it's in the right size. But it's time to change that mindset: Bras are essential so we must pay attention if the pair serves both our fashion and lifestyle needs!
To help you discover if the bras you currently own are working for your lifestyle, we came up with this basic list. Keep scrolling to be informed!

Sports bra
Trust me, no matter what cup size you have, wearing a sports bra while working out is a must! A sports bra provides support to the breast tissue and prevents chest and back pain. The breasts' Cooper's Ligaments, when broken down or damaged, can lead to sagging that can't be reversed.
Level of need: 3/5

Stick-on bras
If you're wearing a backless top and you need more coverage than a nipple tape could offer, try stick-on bras. These cups also add shape and provide support. Stick-on bras aren't really a must-have for everyone, but they can be handy for women who like back-baring outfits.
Level of need: 2/5

Of course, this is just a list of recommendations, but the right bra styles really depend on your personality and lifestyle. If you favor lace bras over padded t-shirt brassieres, that's totally fine! Just like if you prefer the secure fit of low-back plunge bras over stick-on cups, it's all about personal preference. ;)
