• T-shirt bra - It's a great everyday piece. The seamless cups of the t-shirt bra allow you to look smooth even in the clingiest and thinnest of shirts. They also support your breasts and it comes in sizes from cup A to plus size. You should have one for everyday, in a variety of colors that matches your shirt or your mood.
• Underwire bra - If you need ample breast support and shaping, underwire bras are your solution. They can be padded or lined to give your breasts a bit of a push-up. Just remember that you should get the proper size for this kind of bra so that it doesn't poke or hurt your breasts when you wear an underwire bra.
• Soft cup bra - The opposite of the underwire bra which, obviously, has no wires in the cups. This is what you should wear when you want a bra that's comfortable and supportive but without the feeling of wires. Sometimes called a leisure bra, you can wear this any time of the day - even for sleeping.
• Sports bra - Regular bras are for regular activities. But for the more active woman, it's important to have a sports bra in the wardrobe. Unlike regular bras, they give amazing support and prevent your breasts from bouncing while you exercise. Without maximum support, your breast tissue may get damaged. So if you're a gym buff, a sports bra is essential.
• Convertible bra - Call it the all-in-one bra. Convertible bras have adjustable shoulder straps so you can wear it any way you want. If you have a halter blouse, a one-shoulder dress or a strapless top, the convertible bra can be your ultimate solution for any kind of neckline. It's the perfect bra for any event wear.
These five bra styles are, more or less, the ones that you should have inside your closet. Just remember, when buying a bra always consider the size, support and comfort it gives you. And that there are different bras for different occasions and needs, so it's best to have at least one of every kind.
