A convertible bra has movable and removable straps, allowing for different strap placements to accommodate various clothing styles. It can be worn strapless and is ideal for women with different types of tops. It is important to try on the bra in different styles to ensure proper support.
A convertible bra is a type of bra that has movable and sometimes removable straps. These allow you to change where the straps fall on the body so you can adjust the bra for different types of clothing in the back or front. This type of bra can often be worn strapless to accommodate strapless or spaghetti strap tops and dresses.
The development of the convertible bra was celebrated by many, as the types of women’s tops exhibit extraordinary variation. Having to buy separate bras for strapless, cut-out backs, and tank top styles was expensive and certainly took up storage space in your lingerie drawer. Many women felt that the strapless bra, often standard for all kinds of tops with an unusual back or tight on the straps, was inadequate for the support that was really needed. This is particularly the case for women with larger bust sizes – straps are needed to provide ample support and lift.
Removable bra straps can usually be attached to several different points on the bra. With the proper fit, you can get a wrap-back style, where the straps cross over at the shoulders. This can work with T-shirts or athletic tank tops or for clothing with a cut out back. Some convertible bras have backless versions to wear with completely backless tops.
Tank tops became increasingly popular in the 2000s, and wearing just one convertible bra strap meant you could wear a tank top or tank dress while still getting some bust support. Some styles also feature super clear straps. Ultra sheer straps mean that even a little bit of the bra strap showing through may not be noticeable.
Of course, another of the most important features of the convertible bra is its ability to convert to a strapless bra when necessary. Just be sure to store the straps somewhere you’ll remember when they’re not in use. Losing your bra straps can easily turn your bra into a strapless only bra.
The amount of support in the convertible bra can differ with each way the bra is worn. It’s a good idea to try the bra on in various styles and try each conversion to see exactly how much support you’ll get. Underwired molded cup styles are often the best options for women with a C cup or larger.
When you’re in shape for your convertible bra, bring a fitted shirt to try the bra on, and maybe whatever else you can wear with it. This is usually the best way to see how each conversion will be supported and if the conversion will be enough to prevent the pin from showing. Also look for sturdy fixing features.
