Style & Comfort: Bras That Smoothly Tuck Away Back Fat
Bras that are able to tuck away back fat without being uncomfortable or unflattering are the ultimate accessory for any woman! From miniskirts to maxi skirts, dresses to tight tops everyone wants to look good, regardless of their figure. With the right kind of bra, hiding those bulges needn’t be a problem.
Choosing a style that ticks both the boxes of comfort and glamour is often a difficult task. It is all too easy to end up with a piece of lingerie that either looks too boring or feels too constrictive and uncomfortable against the skin. Luckily, there are bras out there that are designed with comfort and style in mind.
These bras provide adequate coverage for our backs yet cut a flattering figure. Plus, they are flexible and stretchy without being suffocating and sweaty. If you are looking for a bra that ticks all the boxes of style, comfort and back support, here is what to look for:
First, you should make sure that the style of the bra has straps that sit close to the shoulders and sides. This will help provide support and lift as well as tucking away those bulges. A bra that is low at the back is also great for avoiding any visible back fat.
Next, consider the materials. Look for bras that are made of fabrics that are moisture-wicking, breathable and lightweight. A fabric that is at least partly made of spandex or elastane will offer more give in the cup area as well as the shoulder straps.
Buying bras with cute patterns, prints and details can also be a great way to boost your confidence. This is especially true if you are struggling to find flattering and comfortable bras that fit your body shape. Various black lace bras with a sheer overlaying fabric are particularly effective at making you look and feel great.
Finally, try on a few styles before you commit. Make sure the straps fit snugly on your shoulders and that the cup size of the bra is big enough so you dont suffer from any back fat spillage. If all these points are checked, you can feel confident that you have made the right choice.
To recap: First, look for straps that are close to the shoulders and sides and tend to low at the back. Second, make sure the material is breathable and stretchy. Third, add some cuteness factor by picking bras with patterns and details. And last, make sure all these points are checked by trying it on.
Style & Comfort Part Two: Choosing the Right Undergarment
Gone are the days when all underwear had to be plain and boring. Nowadays, there is no shortage of styles and designs that not only offer comfort, but also look stylish. If youre looking to keep back fat at bay, the right kind of underwear is key.
Part balconette bras, part strapless bras, specialised backless bras are a great option for keeping back fat tucked away. They have a slightly different shape to regular bras and they also have thicker straps to compensate any neck strap. They have an extra band of support at the back and a tighter fit that will help give your figure some extra shaping. These bras often provide extra coverage and, as their name suggests, they have the extra support you need to avoid any back fat bulge.
For those dresses or tops that do not guarantee back fat coverage, try a thin and seamless undergarment. Not only will they provide just the right amount of support, but they also help avoid VBLs (Visible Bra Lines) – which is especially important when wearing clingy or sports clothing.
When wearing a backless or strapless dress, it is essential to choose a longline bra – they provide the illusion of a tucked waist and are often lined with silicon to secure their stay on the waist.
Finally, for a little extra perkiness, try something in between a sports bra and a regular bra – these can provide both support and a little extra lift. Plus, if you choose one with wider bra straps, it often means less back fat bulge.
Style & Comfort Part Three: Making the Perfect Style Match
Once youve chosen the right bra to keep back fat tucked away, you need to make sure you are making the perfect style match. We often forget the fact that when we choose the wrong clothes, regardless of what size bra we are wearing, back fat is going to show.
First and foremost, opt for garments that feature side ruching, scalloped edging and ruffles. All these details create a flattering silhouette and, more importantly, detract attention away from the back fat.
For a streamlined figure, avoid tops with horizontal lines or tight fabrics that cling too much. Look for tops that fit more loosely around the waist and have added details like gathers, pleats and folds.
If you want to cover up your back fat but still show your curves, go for wrap and Bardot dresses. When paired with the right bra, they give you the perfect hourglass figure and the illusion of a tucked waist.
Speaking of dresses, try wearing dresses that hit just above or below the waistline and have a more A-line silhouette. Empire cut dresses also provide more support without bulging.
Style & Comfort Part Four: Experimenting with Different Finishes
Once youve chosen the right garments to make sure back fat is properly tucked away, you can add a little extra glamour with different fabrics and finishes.
Look out for pieces with a luxurious matte finish to give you a more sculpted nude silhouette. Velvets and knits are also great for adding texture to an outfit, while silvers and bronzed tones can make a statement.
Try opting for fabrics that have plenty of stretch for added comfort and layering. The right kind of layering can also give you the effect of tucking the back fat away. Choose garments that you wear on top of the bra to give the illusion of a smoother figure.
Using delicate finishes such as tonal lace, crotchet details and sheer overlays can also help keep your look modern and sexy. The addition of lace or silk details can make even simple pieces look more polished and help give your back fat less visibility.
Style & Comfort Part Five: Upgrading Your Lingerie Collection
Nothing provides confidence like wearing the right kind of intimates. The right kind of lingerie can make or break your look, so its important to be picky when it comes to picking the pieces for your wardrobe.
First, we recommend investing in a good strapless bra that is supportive but also comfortable. Choose a style that includes a deep center front which will provide a smooth fit against the body. Again, opt for fabrics that have some stretch for extra comfort.
Wide-set bras are also ideal for avoiding back fat as they have extra fabric to hug your curves. A wire-free construction is always a good bonus here since it ensures more freedom of movement throughout the day.
For a seamless summer look, aim for wireless bralettes that have been designed with cups that are not too deep in the centre. Racerback bralettes also provide more coverage on the sides.
Interested in something more high-end? Try bodysuits! Not only do bodysuits provide a sleek shape but they also come with strapless and halter neck variations which make hiding back fat even easier.
Style & Comfort Part Six: Nailing the Perfect Fit
Now that you are aware of all the right styles and finishes, the last step would be to make sure your lingerie fits your figure like a glove. Far too often we make the mistake of assuming that all lingerie fits the same. It is essential to measure your correct size before buying a new piece.
For an ideal fit, measure your bust at the widest circumference, your ribcage at the thinnest circumference and your cup size at the fullest circumference. This will help you find the correct bra size and avoid any back bulge.
When it comes to choosing the cup size though, make sure its not too tight or too loose. Too tight and the bra cup will dig in too loose and you will have back fat bulging out. The right fit for the cup is when your breast tissue is completely enclosed within the cup, with no overflow or gap.
Finally, make sure youre securing the bra at the tightest hook to give you the same level of support in the long run.
Style & Comfort Part Seven: Re-invent Your Look
Choosing the right kind of lingerie doesnt have to stop with bras and bodysuits. Why not go the extra mile and add a few items to update your wardrobe.
From teddies to camisoles, briefs to g-strings, there is a whole range of lingerie pieces to choose from. Matching some of these pieces with your bras can make a great difference to your outfit.
If youre planning to wear an off-the-shoulder ensemble, make sure you pair it with a low-back bodysuit. These work especially well when paired with slinky skirts or dresses. If however, youre looking for something more casual for the weekend, you can opt for a camisole or graphic T-shirt. These can hide bulges without forgoing style.
Whichever you decide to opt for, make sure you buy something that secures your back fat without being uncomfortable or unflattering.
With a few simple changes, you will be rocking the lingerie world in no time! So why wait? Go for it and choose the pieces that make you feel confident and beautiful! And the best part? You will be able to accomplish that without compromising on style or comfort.
