They say that bras are the backbone of every great woman’s wardrobe. As cliché as that might sound, this statement is true. A bra can make or break a great outfit, which is why you should have one that suits every occasion.

Having different bra types allows you to experiment with different fashion pieces and you also have one for every occasion that comes up on your schedule. From date nights to your workplace’s team building sessions, here are the five different bra types every woman should own:

1. The T-shirt bra
The T-shirt bra is hands down the most popular bra among ladies and if you don’t have one, then it’s time you add one to your collection. It boasts perfectly molded out seamless cups which make it ideal for thin pieces of cloths such as T-shirts and camis as it provides a smooth, invisible look and at the same time offers ample support to your breasts.

2. The sports bra
As much as you want them to, your regular bras or any of the ones on our list won’t cut when it comes to vigorous activities such as a workout sesh at the gym or cheer practice. As the name implies, a sports bra is designed explicitly for vigorous activities which is why you just can’t do without them.

3. The plunge bra
Having a date night and you want to look sexy with that low neckline blue dress? If yes then the plunge bra is the perfect one to wear under your outfit. This bra is designed in such a way that the yoke is lower than your regular bra thereby keeping it hidden beneath low-cut and V-neck tops and dresses. It allows you to have fun with your low cut tops and dresses as you no longer have to worry about your bra flashing out while you are busy trying to impress your date. What’s even more riveting is that despite its low cut design, it still conforms to the shape of your boobs drawing them lightly to the sides hence creating an attractive cleavage.

4. The strapless bra
So you’ve been shying away from your pretty red off-shoulder dress because you are the type of lady who can’t go braless? Well, it’s time to shine with it as strapless bras will save the day. They are designed to support and cover your boobs while leaving your shoulders and back bare. This means you can wear them with a strapless, spaghetti, off-shoulder or bare back dresses and tops and still have an appealing cleavage without having to worry about exposed straps as they have none. Even though it is not as practical as the ones listed above, the strapless bra always comes in handy and is a must-have in your bra collection. However, since they don’t have straps, you need to go for a fitting one so it can stay in place and offer you enough support.

5. The push up bra
There are those days when every woman wants to feel sexy, and the push up bra is a perfect fit for such days. For quite some time now, the stereotype that only women with small breasts should wear push up has been successfully doing rounds, but we are here to set the record straight. Every woman, no matter the size of the breasts should have at least one push up bra for those days that she wants to bring her sexy out.
