Looking Your Best: How to Choose the Right Bra to Hide Back Fat
Every woman wants to look their absolute best, and while having back fat can be a bit of an issue when it comes to dressing, you dont have to fret. Knowing how to choose the right type of bra can make back fat a thing of the past! It isnt about using a smaller bra size, but about understanding which styles work best. Here we look at some of the best ways to not only select the right style but make sure your bra fits so that you can look your very best and feel confident all day long!
Begin by getting the right size bra. Its essential that your bra fits correctly across the back and cup, which means getting measured. Most department stores will be happy to do this quickly and accurately and it will make all the difference when it comes to finding the perfect bra. Make sure you take note of the measurements given and use them when buying your bra.
Once you have the size, its time to try on the bra and ensure it fits correctly. Start off by putting the straps on the correct settings for your shape. Bending over while wearing the bra can also help to make sure that it is a decent fit, as this can help to show you whether it is the best size.
Look for styles that have full coverage across your back. This can help to ensure that any back fat is hidden, as the bra fully covers and supports the area. Seamless bras are ideal for this, as there will be no show through across leggings or clothing.
Padded and contour bras can also be the ideal choice when you have back fat as the additional coverage is could be the way to go. The padded cups help to provide a smooth and slim shape and these, along with smooth and seamless styles, can also help if you want to wear clothes with strapless tops and dresses.
Just like with any other item of clothing, there are an array of colors and styles when it comes to bras. If you have back fat, steer clear of thin and delicate straps as this will draw the eye to that area. Instead, look for broader straps that will help provide extra coverage and support, as well as staying in place better.
Opt for bras that are made from a supportive fabric, as breathable and strong materials will help to provide comfort as you wear your bra, while also helping to keep the back area flat.

Now that you have selected the right style, it is time to think about functionality. Depending on your daily activities, you need to pick the bras that are best suited for you. Understand that the wrong fabric or fit can cause irritation and discomfort, so pick bras that feel comfortable while also providing enough support.
For everyday wear, look for underwire bras and full coverage wireless bras. The wires provide additional support, and full coverage wireless bras ensure that your back looks compressed when wearing a snug t-shirt or sweater. If you are looking for a bra that you will wear for exercise, then a more breathable and lightweight fabric is a must. Wire-free sports bras are also great, as they offer extra support and a secure fit during activity.
Strapless bras are also a great option for different looks and outfits, as they provide strong support while also allowing you to wear a wider range of clothing pieces. When looking for a strapless bra, look for one with a deep neckline and wider side bands.
You may also want to think about optional features such as the hook and eye closure, which can be helpful if you are looking for additional support and a better fit. If the hook and eye is too wide, then perhaps consider buying a bra with adjustable straps to get the perfect fit.
Finally, for extra comfort pick bras that have elastic bands, adjustable straps, and wide backs. This helps to ensure that the bra always fits properly, reducing compression and the appearance of back fat.

In order to keep bras looking good and always in the best condition for wearing, it is essential to think about how to wash and care for them properly. It is important to understand that, while a bra is an everyday wear item and it will get a lot of use, it is not an item of clothing that is designed to last forever. Depending on how well they are cared for, your bras could last anywhere from three months to six months.
Always read the care instructions for a bra and take the time to hand wash it, preferably using mild detergent and a lukewarm temperature. If you dont have time to hand wash, then placing it on a delicate cycle and in a washing bag is another option. Make sure that you arent overloading your machine by filling it with items around the same size and weight of your bra.
Once youve washed your bras, dont throw them in the dryer as this can cause them to shrink or lose their shape. Instead, hang them in the shade and natural air dry – dont put them in direct sunlight as this can weaken the elasticity of the fabric.
Once your bras are dry, take the time to store them properly. Generally, bras should be folded in half, with the cups together and the straps over the top. Make sure that you are not folding them too tightly as this will cause the fabric to stretch prematurely.

When looking for the perfect bra, it is important to think about energy as well as style and movement. Consider the way the bra feels against your skin and look for a style that is supportive but comfortable. Test out how the straps feel and look for options that have an adjustable clasp, as this can help to create an individual fit for you.
Negative energy when it comes to clothes can cause you to lose confidence when wearing them, so touching and feeling potential purchases can help to determine how you may feel while wearing them.
It is also important to consider the shape that you want to achieve. If youd like more of a rounder, fuller look, look for bras with moulded cups to create a great silhouette. On the other hand, if youre looking for a more natural, flat silhouette, consider using full coverage bras, as this will provide the support you need and without the padding.
Make sure you are also aware of the differences between various bra styles. Push up bras are often seen as a way of disguising back fat, but in reality they will only draw more attention to the area as the fabric is generally thinner. Choose bras that are designed to support, shape and move with your body.
On the other hand, hiding is not the only way to disguise back fat. Understanding the body you have is the most important first step. Celebrate what you have, rather than trying to hide certain areas. With the right styles and materials, you can find a bra that flatters your shape and provides comfort and support all day long.

Now that the basics have been covered, you may be left wondering what else you can do. Focusing on what to wear with your bra can help to hide any unwanted back fat, as attention can be diverted to different areas of the body.
Think about wearing more body-con dresses and tops to show off the curves that you already have. Button-up shirts are also great for providing additional coverage and flatter the bust area when open. V-necks, boat necks and cowl necks can also help to show off the bust whilst offering extra coverage around the back.
When it comes to shorts and skirts, there are an array of maxi and midi styles that can be worn during any season. Consider a midi skirt with a tucked-in top or a longline blazer for an effortless, yet stylish, look.
If there ever comes a time when you are feeling a bit low, then make sure to surround yourself with positive energy. Being surrounded by those who love and support you is a great way to get a confidence boost, and with the right clothes you can feel ready to take on the world!
Finally, its essential to go for what you want and not be afraid to feel fabulous! A bra is a great way to start, as it can help to shape the whole outfit and ensure that any back fat is obscured. With the right style and fit, you can look and feel your absolute best!
