Bustier or bra?

It used to be that young girls wore bustiers, women wore bras. But this strict division has long been done away with, and bustiers have become a trend item for every generation. But women still face the tricky question: bustier or bra?

Bustier or bra: which choice is right for you?

The days when women’s breasts were squeezed into the tightest possible push-up are long gone. Today, it’s all about the natural look: a bra needs to sit perfectly, give support, look great and be incredibly comfortable as well.

These criteria can be fulfilled by both a bustier and a bra – but which to choose? At the end of the day, it simply comes down to size. Women with a larger cup size (C+) should opt for a bra, as their breasts need the extra support, while women with smaller cup sizes (A-C) can get enough support from a bustier.

We have super comfy options in both styles that you’ll want to keep wearing even when relaxing at home.
