Before social-distancing became the rule of the land, we often didn’t have enough time to get a favorite jacket with the missing button to the seamstress, or a shoe with a worn down heel to the shoe repair shop. But now that many of us still have a lot of time on our hands, it might be a good time to take stock of our lingerie wardrobe.
When taking on a project of this magnitude, it's important to note that your lingerie drawer should have a balance of supportive bras, comfy basics, along with some "beautiful pieces" to make you feel good about yourself.
Everyone is still feeling a little uncertain. Women are looking to purchase things that aren’t too expensive because of this transitional period. However, we still want to invest in ourselves with a little self-appreciation.
Sheila’s Sheer Elegance Lingerie has seen a surge in sales of wire-free bras, bralettes and comfort bras. Sheila Sherbert, owner of ebrasetc.com recommends a lingerie wardrobe audit of sorts where you begin to look at replacing the old things, including those items that are old, or where the elastic no longer has any elasticity left in it. This is the time to add some comfy, supportive stuff. While you still love your fancy lingerie, it’s time to add new lingerie with the ideal combination of comfort and beauty.
Because so many of the office workers and office events are on pause, ebrasetc.com has observed a drop in sales of shapewear and while there has been a spike in bralettes and full briefs. Also, many more people are out running and jogging so there has been an upsurge in sales of sports bras. Having a more supportive bra is so important, even for smaller busts.
Many women have stopped wearing underwire bras, for now anyway. Instead, women are buying soft-cup or wire-free bras. A bralette is the perfect item for women working from home, especially as summer is upon us and people naturally want to be more comfortable. Bralettes provide a layer of support which is so much better than going bra-less.
Buying a new bra might not only make you feel better, but also help you to work harder and be more productive!
