Choosing the right bra might seem simple, but let’s be honest — it’s easy to go wrong. From wearing the wrong size to picking the wrong style for your outfit, these small mistakes can lead to big discomfort. At SOIE, every woman deserves a bra that fits beautifully and feels like second skin. Whether you’re looking for T-shirt bras, padded bras, plus-size bras, or sports bras, learning to avoid these common mistakes can completely change your bra game.
1. Wearing the Wrong Size Bra
This is the most common and often the most uncomfortable mistake! Studies show that nearly 80% of women wear the wrong bra size. A band that's too tight or cups that don’t provide adequate coverage can cause back pain, poor posture, and constant adjusting
- How to fix it: Get professionally measured or use SOIE’s easy-to-follow online size guide to find your perfect fit. Our sizing chart helps you choose bras that support you — without digging in or slipping out of place.
2. Choosing the Wrong Bra for Your Outfit
Let’s say you’re wearing a fitted tee. A lacy or bulky bra might show through and ruin your sleek look. That’s where T-shirt bras come in — smooth, seamless, and perfect under any outfit.
- SOIE Recommends: Check out our collection of T-shirt bras made with breathable fabric and molded cups for a smooth silhouette. They’re a must-have staple for everyday wear.
3. Thinking All Padded Bras Add Volume
There’s a common misconception that padded bras are only for enhancing size. But that’s not true! Many padded bras are designed simply for a smoother silhouette and modesty, not for extra volume
- What to do instead: Explore SOIE’s range of lightly padded bras that provide a natural lift and flattering finish — perfect for all sizes and styles.
4. Ignoring Support for Plus Sizes
If you wear a larger size, support isn’t optional — it’s essential. Many plus-size women end up with bras that either flatten their shape or don’t provide adequate lift, leaving them uncomfortable all day.
- What’s better: SOIE’s plus-size bras are specially engineered to offer wide bands, cushioned straps, and full coverage cups — so you feel confident, supported, and stylish every day.
5. Wearing the Same Bra for Every Activity
Using your regular bra for workouts? That’s a mistake! It offers little to no support during high-impact activities which can strain both your bra and your breast tissue
- What you need: Switch to SOIE’s sports bras, designed for various levels of activity. Whether it’s yoga, jogging, or a gym session, our bras minimize bounce, wick moisture, and let your skin breathe.
6. Not Replacing Old Bras
Even the best bras wear out. If the straps are loose, the band has lost elasticity, or the cups wrinkle — it’s time to let go. A worn-out bra won’t offer the same support or comfort.
- Your move: Inspect your bras every 6–12 months. If your favorite piece has lost its charm, find a new favorite at SOIE — we’ve got styles for every shape and need.
7. Prioritizing Style Over Comfort
Yes, the lace looks lovely. But if it’s scratching your skin or cutting into your back, it's not worth it. Comfort and style can go hand-in-hand — you just need to pick the right brand.
- Why SOIE? We combine fashion-forward designs with ultra-soft fabrics and functional details — so you never have to choose between looking good and feeling good.
