Let’s see what are the main types of lingerie and choose the ideal set for your body type, in our lingerie guide.
Bras
Balconette
This is one of the most common types of bra. It is an open model with underwires, with straight or oval neckline. Well supports breasts of any size and shapes.
Push-up
Push-up is a favorite and the best friend of girls who dream to visually enlarge their breasts. Thanks to the sewn into the cup elements, they lift, increase and slightly shift the breast to the center, helping to create a seductive form for low necked clothes.
Half-bra
This is a maximum open version of bra. It represents two “shelves” on underwires, lifting and supporting the breast. It is not the most practical model, so basically it is used by girls as a weapon of seduction.
With triangular cups
Model of triangular shape with no foam or silicone inserts. Does not carry any additional functionality, so it is best created only for owners of small breasts.
Sport bra
Short top for maximum support to the breast during exercise. There are many sport bra variations – in the form of top without underwires, as well as repeating the shape of the bra. You should choose a model depending on training intensity and on your breast type.
Bandeau
Knitted or lace strapless band. An ideal option for outfits with bare shoulders. Poor supports the breast, so all whose size exceeds 75B are not recommended to choose such model.
Panties
Slips
Classical model, covering the buttocks. Can be both with low, and usual waist. Suited to any body shape.
Hipsters
Different from slips with a low-cut hip. Ideal for low waist clothes, as most of the panties elastic is located at mid-thigh.
Boy shorts
The front and lateral side of the panties have the same length. This model is suitable for girls with a pronounced waistline, otherwise will visually make the body shape square.
Tanga
Consist of two triangles connected by a thin rubber band. Suit the owners of a taut body.
Strings
A very open model: the rear triangle is replaced by a thin rubber band or tape passing between the buttocks line.
Corrective underwear
Maximum closed model. May begin under the breasts and reach almost to the knees. Made of elastic fabric to hide figure flaws and make it visually more taut. This type of lingerie makes you feel confident even in tight clothes.
Body and combinations
Body
The shape of it repeats a one-piece swimsuit. The main difference is a zip located at the bottom of the product. In addition to the type of linen, it is often used as a replacement for a turtleneck or a top: there are models with short and long sleeves, open and closed neck, decorated with lace, leather and stones.
Combinations
Silk or cotton body shirt, worn over lingerie. Combinations are made to wear with dresses – it improves the fit and aligns the silhouette.
Grazia
Another type of corrective underwear. It is a slimming combinations. Smooths out all the bumps and figure flaws. Allows you to visually “lose weight” at least with one size.
Camisole
The shortened version of the combination. This is a silk or lace top, which will perfectly serve for a blouse made of transparent material.
