The Strapless Struggle
Summer is almost here!
During this late-spring, early-summer season, it seems we want to wear those fun, funky strapless or strappy tops more than ever. Perhaps it is just the change in weather that gets us ready to show off our arms and back, or perhaps it is that late-spring southern vacation, but the urge to glam up for evening with something a little saucy is pretty universal come June.
The most practical solution to these tops is a beige strapless convertable bra. When we say “convertable”, we don’t mean “cruisin’ with the top down”!
By this we mean that the bra comes with straps which allow for the bra to be worn multiple ways. Most strapless bras these days are convertable, but make no mistake, it doesn’t matter how great the straps are – any fitter worth their salt will tell you the comfort and support of a strapless bra is entirely based on the fit of the band around your body. (And, yes a strapless bra can be comfortable!) The key to a comfortable strapless bra experience – one without the struggle, is a great fit, overseen by a fitting specialist like those you’d find at secrets.
Two of our favourites are by Fantasie and Betsy Johnson! Each offers a great shape and saucy support, perfect for the type of top we pictured above. Better still, our testers tell us they can be worn throughout the day and night and never slip or give you that feeling that you need to sneak away to the bathroom to hike them up. These bras stay put!
Check out more styles in our “Products” section. Most are available in Black and White as well.

PS. We love it if you bring in your dresses or tops that require a strapless bra. That way we can make sure the bra fits under the garment as well. If not, we do have bandeau tops to test the shape of the bra! Enjoy the summer!
