The 17 Best Purple Bras For Feeling Like Royalty

Purple bras, they’re not just for royalty anymore. These undergarments are a fun and unique way to add some color to your everyday look. With a variety of shades and styles to choose from, there’s a bralette out there for everyone. But before you go all in on the purple, let’s talk about how to choose the perfect shade for you and how to style it.

If you’re looking for a purple bra to match your skin tone, there are a few things to consider. The first is your skin tone—the surface color of your skin. If you have cool undertones, you’ll look best in shades of purple with a blue base, such as lavender or periwinkle. If you have warm undertones, you’ll look best in shades of purple with a red base, such as eggplant or plum. And if you have neutral undertones, you’ll look great in any shade of purple!

The key to a great bra is to make sure that it fits perfectly. If the cups are too small or large, or the band doesn’t fit snugly around your body without being too tight, then you’re going to look like a mess. While there are many ways to wear a bra, we’re going to focus on two styles: one for everyday wear and one for special occasions. The everyday look has plenty of options for accessorizing—just throw on some sunglasses and you’ll be set! For an evening out on the town, try pairing yours with a sequined cocktail dress and some sky-high stilettos. You’ll be turning heads all night long!

If you’re looking for something flashy, purple bras are the way to go. They’re a great way to add some pop to your outfit, and they work well with a variety of colors and styles—just remember to get the right shade for your skin tone, and make sure the fit is right!

FAQ

When it comes to purchasing bras, how can you determine the right size, style, and fit to suit your unique body shape and needs?

To determine the right size, style, and fit for your unique body shape and needs, start by getting professionally measured at a lingerie store. This will provide you with an accurate band and cup size. When trying on bras, make sure the band is snug but comfortable, the cups fully encase your breasts, and the straps don’t dig into your shoulders. Consider your wardrobe and lifestyle when choosing a style, and try on multiple styles to find the perfect fit for your body and preferences.

“The most important thing is getting the size right. If you can get a professional bra fitting to determine your size, definitely do that—a surprising number of women don’t realize they’re wearing the wrong size, and really feel the difference once they get it right,” Ronalds shares.

She goes on to add, “Next up, let’s talk about style. Are you a full-coverage kind of gal, or do you prefer a little more cleavage action? Do you need a sports bra for your daily workout, or are you looking for something a little more lacy and delicate? Consider your needs and preferences when choosing a style that’s right for you.”

“And finally, let’s talk about fit. Your bra should fit snugly, but not so tight that you feel like you’re being squeezed like a tube of toothpaste. The band should be level and the straps should be adjusted so they’re not digging into your shoulders. And remember, bras can stretch out over time, so make sure you’re adjusting and readjusting as needed,” she explains.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when wearing bras, and what are some tips for ensuring proper wear and care to maximize comfort and longevity?

Common mistakes to avoid when wearing bras include choosing the wrong size, neglecting proper care, and not adjusting the straps. To ensure proper wear and comfort, make sure to get professionally measured for the correct size, rotate between bras to prevent overuse, and adjust the straps to maintain support. For optimal longevity, hand-wash your bras in cold water and air dry them.

“Bras, the essential garment that can either make or break your day! Let’s face it, we’ve all made mistakes with our bras at some point. First things first, make sure you’re wearing the right size! You don’t want to be spilling out of your cups or feeling unsupported in an oversized bra. Make sure you always check the size guide online or head to a store to be fitted,” Ronalds tells us.

“Secondly, don’t wear the same bra every day. Think of your bras like your favorite pair of jeans, they need a break too. Give them a day off and rotate them so they can maintain their shape and last longer,” she states.

What are some best practices for washing and caring for bras to ensure their longevity and maintain their shape and quality?

To care for your bras and ensure longevity, hand-wash them using gentle detergent in cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the elasticity of the bra. Rinse thoroughly and gently reshape the cups before laying them flat to air dry. Avoid using a dryer, as heat can damage the fabric and elastic. Store bras properly by stacking them, not folding or inverting the cups.

According to Ronald, “First things first, don’t just throw those babies in the washing machine and hope for the best. Treat them with the TLC they deserve! That means hand washing them in cold water, or at the very least, using a lingerie bag on the gentle cycle.”

She also explains, “When it comes to drying, don’t just toss them in the dryer. Air drying is the way to go, if you want them to last, keep their shape and not start to look shabby or worn out prematurely. If you’re feeling really fancy, you can even invest in a drying rack specifically designed for bras.”

When it comes to choosing a bra for a specific outfit, what factors should you consider to ensure a seamless and polished look?

When selecting a bra for a specific outfit, consider factors such as the neckline, fabric, color, and style. Opt for seamless bras or bralettes under tight-fitting clothes, and choose a color that matches your skin tone or the outfit itself. For low-cut or backless styles, consider adhesive bras, plunge bras, or multi-way bras that provide support without showing straps or bands.

“Choosing a bra for a specific outfit is like trying to assemble a puzzle without the picture on the box! You want everything to fit perfectly and look seamless, but it can feel like a real challenge sometimes,” Ronald shares. “To kick things off, consider the color. You don’t want your bra to be a bold statement piece that clashes with your outfit.”

She continues,”Next, think about the type of bra you need. Strapless, push-up, sports bra, bralette – the options are endless! You want to make sure you’re choosing the right type of bra for the occasion. You wouldn’t wear a sports bra to a fancy dinner party, unless you plan on doing some impromptu yoga poses to impress your fellow guests.”

“Then, think about the neckline of your outfit. A plunging neckline might require a different bra than a high-necked top. You don’t want any awkward peek-a-boo moments and finally, make sure your bra fits well. A well-fitted bra can make all the difference in how your outfit looks and feels. Plus, you don’t want to be constantly adjusting your bra all day,” Ronalds concludes.
