How to Know If You Need a New Bra?

How to Know If You Need a New Bra?

When was the last time you bought a new bra?

If the answer is more than 6 months ago, then there’s a good chance you need to go bra shopping. We know that a good number of us have one or two (or more?) bras that have lasted us for a year or even much more. This is most likely because you have a large selection of bras that you wear in rotation, giving each of your bras longer lifespans.

However, regardless of how many bras you have or how well you take care of them, every bra has an expiry date. Some bras, you may outgrow. Others may simply succumb to natural wear and tear. Hence, here are 8 telling signs that’ll let you know it’s about time to get yourself a new bra (or five!).

1. Stretched-out Back Straps.

If you notice that you now have to fit your bra hooks in a tighter position than you did when you initially bought the bra, then it’s likely that the straps have become stretched out from use. This doesn’t become a warning sign for a new bra until you get to use the very last hook and the bra still feels loose. Then you know it’s time for a new bra.

2. Too Big Cups.

Weight loss can happen in any part of the body, breasts inclusive. Thus, if you begin to notice a significant gap between your bra cups and your boobs, the cups may have been stretched out or you might’ve just lost some weight. This means that your bra isn’t offering you support as it should anymore, and so it’s time to replace it.

3. Too Small Cups.

Do we have to spell it out? You’ve outgrown the bra; time to say bye-bye to it.

4. Too Loose Shoulder Straps.

Sometimes you’ll find that you’ve adjusted your bra straps a million times, yet they still keep sliding off your shoulders. Isn’t that the most annoying thing? It’s also a clear sign that you need a new bra because loose straps mean that bra’s barely holding the girls up.

5. Underwires of Death.

Have you ever felt your bra underwire try to stab you in the chest? Talk about the biggest betrayal! Get rid of that bra before it gets rid of you.

6. Fabric Fails.

Fabric always has a lifespan, especially when you wear and wash it as often as you do with your bras. Thus, if you observe the fabric of your bra has begun to break down (e.g. rips and tears, fraying, overstretching, peeling spandex, etc), then it’s time to go bra shopping.

For new bras, why don’t you treat your selfyourself !

7. Faded Colour.

This also has to do with the fabric but this time, we’re looking at the colour. If a dark-coloured bra has become light-coloured, or a light-coloured or white bra has become stained or dingy-looking, make that trip to the lingerie store ASAP!

8. New Outfit Needs.

Some outfits may require a push-up bra while others need a strapless bra. Here, you may not necessarily need to replace your current bras, but if you don’t have the type of bra that your outfit needs, then you most certainly still need a new bra for your new outfit needs.

Loungewear vs Nightwear- What’s the difference?

Loungewear vs Nightwear- What’s the difference?

Many of us lounge around our homes in our nightwear, especially on those lazy weekends during which we’ve sworn that the only person that’ll make us step an inch out of our front door is the pizza delivery guy. Likewise, many of us also sleep in our loungewear as it is super easy to transition from a movie night to bedtime. Their functionalities often overlap.

So what is the difference between loungewear and nightwear?

To begin with, the similarities between the two are plain to see. For one, these comfy cottonscotton and satiny slips generally aren’t made for stepping out of the four walls of our homes—or at least this was the case before new and improved loungewear designs were released into the market and designer pyjamas became high fashion.

Nevertheless, the truth is that there is a big difference between the two, a difference which we’ll be discussing at length in this post.

What is loungewear?

Loungewear is casual clothes that make you feel blissfully comfortable while maintaining an appropriate look. It is the middle ground between your cosy bedtime pyjamas and your daytime clothes that you wear out and about.

What is nightwear?

Also known as sleepwear or nightclothes, nightwear is clothing that’s made to be worn while sleeping.

 

 

 

The differences between loungewear and nightwear.

The first distinction between both kinds of easy clothing is when and when they are worn. Nightwear is exclusively for sleep time, while loungewear is worn during leisure time in your lounge or anywhere else in your home. Today, many people also wear loungewear outside their houses.

There’s a strong argument that nightwear and loungewear are interchangeable, especially because the majority of us spent a good portion of the year 2020 wearing both as we adhered to the stay-at-home orders that had been declared in our different cities. However, don’t let this argument confuse you. If someone rings your doorbell and you feel the need to change your clothes before answering, then what you have on is more likely to be nightwear than loungewear.

The second manner in which loungewear and nightwear differ is in the way they are designed today. Different fabrics, cuts, and styles are employed in making both clothing types. You will find that with nightwear, the trend is for pieces to be made out of fabrics that are breathable, non-irritating, moisture-wicking, and have just the right amount of garter for unrestrained movement. A good example of these fabrics are pure cotton, bamboo lyocell, silk, and satin fabrics. Pyjamas also often come in single pieces or sets—the pieces of which only match with each other.

As for loungewear, the clothing often comes in separates that you can easily mix and match. Nightwear can include loud prints and bright colours, but with loungewear, you’ll typically find that the colour options fall between neutral colours and light pastels to effortlessly provide a look for any time and any place. Loungewear also tends to have more tailored cuts than nightwear which mostly offers looser fits.

The loungewear designs of today make it so that you can easily dress them up or down as you see fit. This is great especially if you have a Zoom meeting to attend from home and want to look appropriate but not too dressy, keeping yourself relaxed and fuss-free.

Do you have to wear a bra with nightwear and loungewear?

With nightwear, we don’t think so. You’re going to be in the privacy of your bed and you’ll need as much comfort as possible to get good quality sleep. On the other hand, with loungewear, you may want some additional boob support, especially if you’re leaving your house in your loungewear. You could also pick up a loungewear top that has built-in padding so you’d have zero wardrobe cares as you breeze through your day in full comfort.

In the end, whichever you may choose to settle for at any time between loungewear and nightwear, the most important thing is to find downtime clothing that makes you feel completely at ease.
