Your Bra Should Be Your Favorite Summer Accessory

Not only do you have to wear your bra every day, whether to the office or out on the town, it also has to fit along with your fashion style. If you are professional our bras are perfect under your everyday attire, additionally, if you are a fashionista, our bras provide you with the ability to wear the latest fashion trends with confidence.

Two hot trends this summer can fit seamlessly with your MySkins’ bra. The first is the sheer fashion trend which has been hitting runways around the globe since 2008. Sheer tops and dresses can be seen on celebrates and models alike, but it's also been incorporated into the latest designers ready to wear lines. Your MySkins’ bra can work perfectly under sheer clothing because not only does it match your skin tone for invisibility, but it also provides wearers with comfort and support for confidence to work the latest styles without worrying about falling out of your clothes; and creating your own personal embarrassing moment.

To incorporate the sheer look into your wardrobe we suggest the plunge bra because you can wear with peak a boo or low cut blouses while it matches your skin tone for the ultimate in sheer fabulousness.

Another great trend this summer is the one shoulder dress, especially like the one Michelle Obama wore during the inauguration of her husband and our President, Barack Obama. The one shoulder dress is only as good as your bra! A great convertible bra, like ours, is essential for making the most of this stunning look.


Remember, we're not just a bra company! We care about your personal style which is why our bras were named the "Perfect Summer Bra" by People Style Watch. Download your color card and grab a MySkins’ bra today…the best fashion accessory for your Spring and Summer looks.

Bra Horror Monday: Exposed Boobs and Embarassing Questions

Besides being bra and panty experts, we also have a sense of humor, and sometimes we scrounge the web for the most horrifying and embarrassing moments that could involve a bra or a panty.

Today's bra horror stories come from Yahoo Answers:

"Ok so I was taking a walk and I was ahead of everyone else with my cousin who was 4 and I was 11 at the time, I had just started to wear bra's and she pointed to my boobs and asked "what are those?" and I was omg SO embarrassed!!! I tried really hard to change the subject like "wow you can run really fast" but she kept asking!! I finally said "you will know when your older" and then she forgot about it, but I am sooo embarrassed!!=D"

"When I was 14 I was at school, and I was wearing a bra with the front closure, and it spontaneously broke! I was really embarrassed, and I managed to kind of put it back together with a paper clip, but I felt very self conscious the rest of the day. That's the last time I ever bought a bra like that."

"Not neccesarily bra story but oh well....

I was at water polo and jumped to get the ball, only to expose both my boobs in mid jump, right in the face of my best friends boyfriend, who was of course utterly shocked/horrified! haha"

Top 5 Mistakes Women Make When Buying A Bra

Women have been wearing bras for years, but for some reason the majority of the population still have issues with the dreaded bra fitting! From bra experts worldwide, here are the top 10 mistakes that women make when shopping for a bra:


5 The Baggy Look
The baggy look has made a comeback recently in jeans and in clothing (like Mary Kate and Ashley's boho looks). However, this isn't a good look for your bra. When a bra brand is too loose in the back, the back of the bra rises causing your breast to sag.

4 The Size Chameleon
Many women refuse to let go of their bra size. At 18 when you hear that you are a 38C, you always buy a 38c without getting resized. Our bodies change everyday due to hormones, nursing and much more so getting fitted once a year is ideal.

3 The Elusive Perfect Bra
We've heard of this elusive perfect bra, the one that fits like a glove and shapes your breast like a Greek statue. However, finding your perfect fit or brand can take time. At MySkins, we have our own sizing method that can help you find your perfect fit based on our brand research and awareness.


2 Comfort versus Support
We are very proud of our bras because we cover both comfort and support. However, sometimes support comes over comfort because we want to look great in our clothes and we've been taught that beauty is painful. With MySkins' seamless molded bras, that's no longer an issue.

1 The Small Complex
Smaller breast women want to have larger breast, and larger breasted women want to have smaller breast. However, using your bra to achieve those goals can cause the bra tissue to lose firmness. Your bra should life and center you bust line while being comfortable and definitely not hazardous to your health.


When looking for your perfect fit, use our bra fitting guidelines and get it right!

Fashion Police Wednesday: Celebrity Bra Strap Walk Of Shame

This Fashion Police Wednesday is focused on the number one celebrity Faux Paux: The Celebrity With The Showing Bra Strap.

Kylie Minogue and Pink

Amy Winehouse

Coleen McLoughlin and Sharon Stone

Where do we start??

Kylie: Okay, not only is your bra strap showing but you chose to wear a leopard one.. could you be anymore discreet?
Pink: No, No, No, No!!! You don't incorporate your bra into your outfit unless you are on stage performing... period!
Amy: Double straps...and two colors??
Coleen: Because you have a white tank top on, doesn't mean a white bra is okay.
Sharon: Yes, your bra matches some of the colors in your dress...still doesn't make it okay.

The MySkins Solution

Many times when women are shopping for bras, they don't understand exactly what to look for, or what to ask the salesperson for. At MySkins we spent so much time in product development and research, we learned some amazing things... we'd like to call ourselves the "bra experts"!

When looking for a comfortable bra that closely matches your skin tone there are a few things you should be looking for:

The Problem? Visible Bra Lines or VBL
Visible bra lines can become a nightmare. Even if you find that perfect skin matching tone, if the bra is sewn and you are wearing a t-shirt or a thin shirt, there is a possibility that you'll have to deal with bulging seams.

The MySkin Solution? Seamless Bras
Our bras are molded, not sewn so you don't have to worry about seams or VBL.

The Problem? Color Transfer
when shopping for a nude bra, you may notice the lack of colors. However, even when you "think" you've got a close match, look closely because color and dimensional transfer can occur. With color transfer, you'll end up on our fashion police blog! What happens is that if you wear underwear not closely matched to your skin with light colored clothing, you will be able to see your underwear through it.

The MySkins Solution? Skin tone matching underwear
Our bras come in 20 different skin matching colors that match 95% of the populations skin tone... so color transfer is definitely not a problem.

Bra Horror Stories

One of our favorite forums to visit is The Exchange, especially their Fitness and Health section. One thread asked Exchange members about Bra Horror Stories and we thought that we would share two of the stories we thought were funny on our blog:

"Did you know a Wonderbra underwire can bring a washing machine to its knees? I do now. Make sure your underwires aren't trying to make a break for it before you wash the bra, otherwise, you're gonna spend your weekend shopping for major appliances."

"My wife worked years ago when going to college in Lancaster in the Bra department of Watt and Shand and I remember her telling me about a young girl that was coming in shopping for what was likely as it turned out her first bra. My wife asked her if she knew what cup size she was and threw out the normal A, B, etc and the girl came back answering "I think it is an A minus". We still get a chuckle out of it."

At Myskins, our seamless bras keep the horror stories for the magazines and online...not in your real life! But, if you do you have a bra horror story that you'd like to share with us? Spill the beans and we'll share it on our blog. Anonymously….of course.
