What it does: Underwire bras are essential for people with larger chests, because the name of the game is support. The wire holds you up and makes you feel supported. Consider this an everyday staple, particularly if you've got a C cup or above.
When to wear it: Whenever you feel the need for extra smoothness or support. These are the everyday bras, the special occasion bras, and everything in between. The trick is finding underwire bras that don't dig in, but we've done that for you!
When to replace it: This is similar to a t-shirt bra. Give it about a year if you're wearing it constantly. You'll also be able to tell if the bra has completely lost its shape, or worst case scenario, the underwire starts poking out.
