Are you working it? The importance of Sports Bras

Lisa — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:00:44 +0000

As we enter the tail end of January 2010, I know for most of us, we have made our resolutions to loose weight, go to the gym, and just be more active. As a friendly reminder, make sure you own a sports bra and do not work out in your regular bra. A sports bra is designed to give specific engineering and lift for women. A regular bra, although supportive is designed for shaping the breasts, but not for jumping, running, etc. When doing fittings for clients, I have seen numerous women walk in with blown out bras. I always ask in the consultation, do you own a sports bra? A few will say yes, but the majority will boldly say no, and have sixteen reasons why. This is not ok. I always compare it to wearing the same shoes day in and day out for one year. Your shoes and your feet would be worn out!

Just like a regular bra, you can select the type of impact you need to get your work out on! If you are a pilates or yoga lover, then low impact or no wire solutions will work well for you. If you play tennis or run, you will want to select a firm or compression garment that keeps your ladies in place but does not bind or pinch. If you’re a AA or smaller cup, they have heard the voices of women who said we need a little help. You can find contour or molded solutions to give you more shape. The full figure customer has awesome choices, finally…

Stay focused on your goals!

New Year! Let’s Celebrate You Underneath It All!

As we enter another decade (hard to believe), I reflect on how lingerie has changed over the past ten years. Lingerie has shifted from basic panties and bras to “must have wear” for every woman. The New Year symbolizes a time to reflect, renew, and be a whole new you. Let’s begin with a look into your lingerie drawer. Ok, don’t be afraid, I know you have panties and bras from 2000, but it’s time to let go and revive your wardrobe solutions. Here we go:

Out with the old in with the new! Toss away worn, torn, and soiled lingerie. No exceptions! Did you know that the majority of women believe they need push up bras because only their bras don’t have “lift”

Shapewear is the everyday solution! That’s right shapewear is no longer for the party or wedding. It’s becoming a daily love affair for women who want shape, sculpting and smooth lines. Check out Cass 6000 T Shirt. Beyond perfect for layering under a sweater and taking care of the back bacon. Shapewear as outerwear is a major trend.
How many bras should I own? At least six or more. Always own a t-shirt bra, seamless bra, sports bra, lace, enhancement or cleavage bra, and a convertible bra. Size ranges have changed so no excuses every woman can find these solutions in her size from AA to K!
Deals and Steals…Great time to shop the deals online, in the store. Etc. Lingerie is a replenishment item so you should shop at least a minimum of three times a year.

Cheers! Here is to you and making all your lingerie dreams come true!

In Honor of The Gals – “Thriving Underneath It All – Donna Karan 35237

Donna Karan Intimates 35237 (click for details)

I work out at the gym at least three to four times a week when I am not traveling. I am really starting to love it! I am sleeping better, and I have lot’s of energy not to mention my curves are looking good. I have clients who have asked for a sports bra that does not bind, provides comfort and enough compression for biking, walking, and aerobics. My pick has always been Donna Karan 35237. In addition, it has been a wonderful bra for women who have needed a solution for non-underwire. The side support panels give a little lift on the sides. You don’t have to worry about having uni-boobs. One huge breast smashed together. My clients who wear golf apparel have been thinking me for years. Gone are the times when women have to wear a harness in order to feel athletic. If you have friends who complain about underwire bras, I highly recommend this bra. Gal tip of The Day: Eat well, breathe and move daily for vitality and healthy living.

It’s that time of the year. Back to school once again for young girl’s everywhere. I loved shopping with my mom for clothes, shoes, and the essentials. When I was in retail I remember the mom’s piling into the department to purchase their daughters their lingerie wardrobe. Sometimes it was a wonderful experience for both mom and daughter, or it was world war two. Finding lingerie that fits for a teen is a journey. Here are some of the basics every girl should have in her drawer:

Barely There style 4285 flawless fit is just enough for the growing teen who needs coverage but no wire.

Barely There 0517 is another light and comfortable solution for petite fits. Super comfortable!

Wacoal 87042 is my top pick for so many teens. Moms agree that when they want their daughters to have a little more shape, this is perfect!

Jockey 2031 click for details

Jockeys Mini String Bikini Style 2031 is hip, cute and fun for every girl. Great value 3 for $24.00.

Calvin F3000 is for the growing teen that needs lift and a perfect everyday bra. Although a little more of an investment, please keep in mind you’re getting a great bra that will provide solutions for your wardrobe.

How many bras should you own? Check out our Bra Fit Expert Page and review how many bras you should own and the styles. Don’t forget to add a sports bra to the collection.

Should a teen wear black lingerie? Mothers ask me this question often and my response has always been “only if appropriate for a fashion solution”. Times have changed and many girls are wearing black as a staple in their wardrobe. I find this to be totally acceptable.

Have a great time shopping! Welcome back to school.
