CUUP

For every new season, there’s a shift in the color scheme of the world. Nature takes the opportunity to shed the old season, and people do too—with clothing, trends, tastes, and activities, but the more subtle swaps can have the most significant impact. When you open your underwear drawer at the start of a new season, simply deciding which pieces to wear can set the tone for the day.

Here are some key features of bras that can make them work best for you. The Band Your band size is arguably the most important component when it comes to getting the perfect fit. The band includes the gore in the center, the sides, and the back. It should lay flat against your skin and not ride up in the back. You should only be able to get one or two fingers comfortably underneath it. The closure allows you to adjust how the band fits. You can adjust it for natural fluctuations with some minor stretching. The back of the bra is just as important as the front, even if we can’t see it. The Underwire You probably want a premium underwire that’s flexible, t
