Convertible Bras - A Must For Spring

The calendar has ticked over officially from the chill of winter to the warmth of spring. Okay, it hasn't exactly warmed up yet, but one can start planning for the warmer weather, right? From an undergarment perspective, convertible bras are the bra for the season.

As the weather warms up, the way your support the girls will change. All winter you've worn clothing that is all about covering as much skin as possible unless you live in Hawaii. If you do live in Hawaii, I am insanely jealous but that is a subject for another article. For the rest of us peasants, the winter is about coverage and keeping the girls warm. Spring changes all that.

Spring fashion is about showing a bit more skin. As temperatures warm up, you can exchange those turtlenecks for sleeveless tops and sun dresses. The full coverage bras you wore through winter don't exactly look great with such outfits. Depending on the cuts of your spring tops, you might need to go with a one strap or no strap bra. Conversely, you might need a racerback configuration that provides full support, but keeps the straps closer to the base of the neck. You can buy individual bras for all these looks, but going with a couple convertible bras might be a better choice.

What is a convertible bra? It is essentially what the name suggests. The bra has straps that can be removed or reconfigured. This makes the brassiere incredibly flexible when it comes to configuring it to particular tops. It can be tailored to practically any look by removing the straps, but the added benefit is the straps can often be moved inward or outward on the cups to create a different vertical line as the straps move up your chest, past the neck and down your back.

So, should you add just one convertible bra to your collection? Nope. Get a couple. What happens is you get used to the comfort and flexibility of the bra. Soon you'll start wearing it instead of your other bras. The wear and tear can make the bra fall apart quickly. To avoid this, find one convertible bra that fits well and is comfortable. Then buy a few of the bras so that you'll be able to switch the bras out between cleanings. Remember, you shouldn't wear a bra more than two days in a row without washing it.

Spring is a time to fling off those heavy, warm winter clothes. Replace your full coverage bras with convertible ones and you'll be set for just about any top you'll wear as the temperatures start to warm up.
