What Real Women Look for When Shopping for a Bra

Let’s talk about something we all deal with on the daily: our bras. While a better number of statement pieces in our wardrobe can make us feel empowered, sometimes it’s what we wear underneath that makes a difference. The bra you choose to wear under your favorite tee or date-night dress should be comfortable so that you can feel the most, well, you. But shopping for one is like finding the right pair of jeans: It takes a while, but once you’ve found your perfect match, you instantly feel that boost of confidence. We were curious to know our readers’ experience with their bras, so we asked them just that, and the results sparked some honest answers.

Senior Fashion Editor, Branded Content

Nayiri is Who What Wear's senior fashion editor for branded content and based in her hometown, Los Angeles. It all began in 2014 when she landed an internship at the company and never looked back. While she does love writing her fair share of fashion stories, her heart really belongs in the brainstorm room, where she has fun strategizing different ways to create content with our fashion partners so that you engage with the brands you know and love. Her style tends to be more classic (she loves a good black-and-white look with gold accessories), and white pumps are kind of her thing. If she had to pick one person's wardrobe to raid, it would be Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's, and she also has a major obsession with interior design. She's a mom to a 1-year-old baby girl named Sophie, and she fully plans on training her to spot fashion trends by the time she's 10. That's all!
