An ode to the bras that made us feel empowered – those that set us free from the constraints of societal expectations and made us feel unstoppable. From the minimum coverage to maximum protection, from push-up to sport; they have empowered us to develop a beautiful relationship with our bodies, to be confident and unapologetically proud of who we are.
Firstly, to the lacy wonders that brought our confidence to the utmost – the ones that were so delicately ornamented that they felt like a second skin, and made us feel like royalty. These lace wonders were more than just a sext piece of clothing, they were the power, pride and protection that gave us the freedom to live our lives with confidence.
Secondly, to the thickly padded bras that filled in all the gaps, smoothing it all over and giving a new sense of assurance; empowering our curves, at whatever state they were in. They defined us, comforted us, made us feel beautiful and like nothing in this world could stop us.
Thirdly, to all the unique and intriguing designs – those that make us look like a rock star, pushing our boundaries and making us realized that bold is always beautiful. They were the ‘ones’ that made us have a second thought on what we were creating when pairing the colors and blends of the different materials; allowing us to be creative in our own way.
Fourthly, to the breathable bras that soothed us after a long day of work, giving us a sense of relief that was almost too good to be true. In a time of movement and revolution, they provided silent support in the form of being able to move unrestricted and free.
Lastly, to the plunge bras that shaped and molded our figures ever so gently, giving us a sense of comfort yet also making us look our best. From the curvature of the neckline down to the sides of the cups, they united the beauty of intricate design and powerful features – creating a balance that felt as though it was meant to be.
Moving forward, to the transformation bras that molded and shaped our figures, giving us a beautiful and strong silhouette. From neutral and minimal to bold and daring, these bras gave us fierce femininity while still providing support and security.
Finally, to the sport bras, though often underestimated due to its simplicity, that made us feel deeply connected to our bodies and to what our bodies could do. Sweatier, more challenging activities could now be fully enjoyed, fully experienced. They gave us the strength, protection and power to push ourselves and move forward, motivating us to hit new heights.
An ode to the bras that kept us feeling empowered in all our glory – from the feminine lacy wonder that lit up the night, to the mundane sports bras that broke through physical boundaries. Every cup size, every color, every style; different bra – yet same empowerment shared to thousands, millions and billions around the world.
