According to Garcia, CUUP’s Demi bra is designed to be a modern take on the everyday T-shirt bra. “The Demi offers supportive shaping from 3D spacer fabric, but is much more lightweight and breathable than traditional padding.”

What people are saying: “This bra is somehow incredibly breathable while also feeling structured and tailored. It’s beautiful while also undetectable under thin shirts. I plan on continuing to rave about this bra in the hopes that they add more colors and never (ever ever) discontinue.”

With a band specifically engineered for a dig-free fit, this full-coverage bra will keep everything rounded, lifted, and oh-so-smooth.

Thankfully, there’s no shortage of options when it comes to choosing a T-shirt bra. “T-shirt bras come in many styles, shapes, fabrics, and levels of coverage,” Garcia notes. Maybe you’re looking for a bra that shapes and lifts, or maybe comfort is your only objective. “Some [people] prefer molded cups for natural rounding, while others like the way unlined bras reduce the bulk.” Garcia also suggests looking for smooth fabrics, free of lace, embroidery, or other frills. This way, it appears smoother underneath your clothing and you’re likely to get more use out of it.

Choosing a bra should always come down to your personal preference, and what you feel best in. “Take into consideration your personal style…if you wear low cut tops, you may prefer a plunge bra with a deeper neckline! If you want something invisible under clothing, opt for a neutral or flesh-toned bra…or a pop of color for a fun styling moment!”

While eyeballing guesstimates may work for your latest baking escapade, that method isn’t really advised when you’re trying to choose a bra size. “Take the time to get fit!” Garcia states. “Professional bra fittings can be done in-person or virtually, and will help you to better understand your breast shape.” Brands like CUUP and ThirdLove, amongst others, even offer virtual fittings through their websites.

Because most of us are shopping online, Garcia suggests keeping an eye out for specific style information wherever you’re browsing. “Most brands will include a few notes on style and fit, which can be super helpful.”
