Everyone knows that a good outfit begins with even better under garments. We as ladies absolutely neeed our good bras when it’s time to finish a polished look. Sadly, the 80’s style off the shoulder tops with the bra strap showing isn’t so cute anymore, and we often get stuck with the “bra” dilemma. As a collegiate, keeping those pricey bras around may be hard to get every few months too!
Save yourself a headache with some of these bra tricks when your bras start to get a little old, or if you need a little versatility for all of your different clothes. Let these hacks save your struggle!
1. The DIY Racerback
Using sturdy paper clips or bobby pins, secure the two straps in the back to match your shirt, so that your straps aren’t showing. This hack beats the racerback bra because it can be moved higher up or down to work with whatever shirt you decide to wear. You can try this trick out with a cute tank top!
2. The Faultless Strapless Bra
Using a convertible bra strap, tighten your bra right at the bottom near the top of your ribcage. This hack makes sure your bra can fit more snug and won’t budge under your strapless dress! No more pushing and pulling throughout the night!
3. No More Underwire!
When your underwire starts to peek out, just grab a band aid for the fix! Place the middle of the bandaid over the area where the underwire starts to come out, just like you would with a cut. Moleskin, cotton balls with tape, and even pads can work the same way. This hack will save you a few weeks of time before you have to replace your favorite bra.
4. Washing Bags
Our lovely pricey bras require a little more attention than our t-shirts and jeans. To protect your bras from getting worn out, get a washer bag to put them in before putting in the washer. Stack your bras on top of another to help keep its form. Always wash your bras in cold water and never put them in the dryer. After washing your bras, let them air-dry to prevent messing with the shape.
