The way my bra fits and how it looks under clothing, is everything. No matter how pretty it is, if it’s not comfortable or if it makes my chest look funny in a shirt, it’s not even an option. In most circumstances, I’d say that my bra is the most important part of my outfit.
That said, it also must be noted that AS SOON as I get home, it’s the first thing that comes off, Flashdance style, right under my shirt and through my sleeve. Because no matter how comfortable a bra is, the freedom of not having to wear one at home is complete freedom, especially after my bra has done its job all day.
A few months ago I partnered with Vanity Fair for their “Women Who Do” Initiative, a powerfully uplifting campaign dedicated to celebrating the everyday triumphs of women everywhere, and they sent me a few of the same bras that they donate in the Dress for Success partnership and LiftTour to try out.
Already a fan of Vanity Fair bras, I was happy to accept and share with you these favorites below, photographed around my home office sitting area {and my actual bra drawer up top – though it must also be noted that the bras that are on heavy rotation usually just hang from doorknobs around my office/dressing areas}.
The Beauty Back
What’s rad about this bra particularly is the back smoothing design that reduces the appearance of back bulge -or back fat as I like to refer to it, which drives me nuts in tight shirts. Though it’s a tad more coverage than I usually like in a bra, it’s super simple and pretty and completely invisible under clothes.

Secret Lace
This Secret Lace bra really feels like I’m wearing nothing at all. It must be due to its weightless design and lightweight fabric and like the Beauty Back, is also seamless under clothes. I’m usually drawn to black bras, and love a little lace detail that doesn’t distort the look of my shirt on top, so if I’d have to pick a fave, this one would be it.

Next to Nude
I really love the look of the smooth print detailing of this bra, which has a zebra-like effect, and the silky gray is the prettiest of all. I’ve never had a gray bra, and this one is seamless like the others, as well as perfect for all day comfort.

Since finding the perfect bra is nearly as challenging as finding the perfect swimsuit {apparently four out of five women wear the wrong-size bra!!}, here’s a little Q&A infograhic from Vanity Fair to help us all out!
