​Bras Outside the Box is a body-positive blog about bras and lingerie.

Here is something I've noticed as a trend emerging in bra fitting among some companies that make bras and lingerie: getting very specific about fit, right down to half-cup sizes and figuring out new ways to tell customers exactly which bra will work best for them. But, how much of this is useful information? When does it begin to become too confusing and discouraging for those who already struggle to navigate bra sizing because they don't conform to any standard fitting metho

Wearing clothes that resemble lingerie, or lingerie that can double as clothing, is not a new thing. It's a trend that comes and goes, but with lots of '90s styles being highlighted at the moment, I'm happy to see this look showing up more often. We're seeing babydoll dresses, camisole tops, and layered spaghetti-strap tanks. Artless Forever is a Los Angeles boutique that fully embraces '90s minimalism and features several lingerie-inspired pieces.

Summer bralettes are like baby ducklings. The Kalon bralette four-pack is one of many similar inexpensive bras being sold in multipacks on Amazon. Many brands also allow you to buy singles, in case you should want only one baby duckling. Allow me to suggest two more to consider bringing into your home. And, like baby ducks, these cost relatively little money and little effort to love. They're a no-brainer: there's pretty much nothing that can go wrong if you buy one.

Commando butter bralettes come from a luxury intimates and clothing brand that prioritizes comfort and features simple, sleek styles in bras, camis, leggings, underwear, bodysuits, tees, and more.

I've been getting into the sheer mesh layering trend lately. My interpretation is wearing a delicate, deliberately sheer nylon mesh lingerie top over a bra, bralette, cami, or slim-fit tank. This allows lingerie to enter the realm of acceptable everyday clothing, similar to what a slipdress can do. First, you need to make sure you have the right fit in each piece. If your bralette is too small or too large, that will interrupt the natural flow of your body's lines and curves.

The following quotes are fictional representations of actual women I have spoken with about their experiences with bras. These women are quite different from each other in many ways, but one thing they do have in common is that their struggles with bra size, fit, and comfort reflect deeper issues.
