The Best Bra Brands For Every Cup Size, According To My Group Chat

Apr 17, 2024

“Ladies, I need a bra,” Michelle in D.C. texted to our “SF Ladies+” chat group — our virtual lifeline that keeps us connected even as life has taken some of us away from San Francisco, where we all met. Here we do it all: celebrate birthdays, swap holiday wishes, dish out stories and cute kid pics, commiserate over the latest headlines, and of course, dole out some solid girl advice.

And Michelle couldn't have picked a better sample group. We're a diverse bunch, representing every shape and size, ranging from lighter A cups to fuller F cups.

Michelle's requirements went as follows: “I’m a B, so don’t need super support. I’m looking for something that doesn’t show under a T-shirt and keeps my nips from saying “hi” (so light padding), no crazy push up, stays in place, a lacy strap would be nice. And it doesn’t have an insert that falls out – those are so annoying. My current favorite is DKNY, probably from the last time I went to TJ Maxx.”

Here are the recommendations that followed!

Bra Fitting

First thing's first: you should probably get properly fitted for a bra.

"Nordstrom's bra fitters are legendary," says Robin. Apparently, most women are wearing the wrong size — typically, too small a cup size and too big a band size.

A lively side chat continues about who among us has experienced a Nordstrom bra fitting and whether some locations had discontinued the service. (They haven't!)

Best Bra Brands For Every Cup Size

FREYA Fancies Plunge Balcony Bra

Robin, who carries more than a B cup, chimed in first. “My favorite brands are Freya, Chantelle,Panache, and Fantasie." She also threw in Bare Necessities for the price point and as a one-stop shop for all of these brands.

We're all surprised by Robin’s vast knowledge of bra brands. "Clearly, I've been neglecting this category," responds Michelle.

PANACHE Envy Side Support Balconette Bra

Chantelle C Jolie Comfort Convertible T-Shirt Bra

Pepper Limitless Wirefree Scoop Bra

Deirdre, who has received a Nordstrom bra fitting (and yes, her cup size was too small and band size too big), suggested Pepper, a brand designed for smaller chests, or Uniqlo for a comfy wireless option.

Natori Flora Contour Underwire Bra

I seconded Pepper as a fellow B cup, and for a cute and lacy option I like Natori, Intimissimi and Etam.

Intimissimi Secret Garden Balconette Bandeau Bustier

I'm also partial to strapless bras for everyday. My straps always seem to fall down even when I tighten them so I've gone almost exclusively strapless lately. It makes it easier to take them off the minute I get home too!

Athleta Ritual Adjustable Bra A-C

Marie adds, “I’m a huge fan of Athleta Embrace, super comfortable but also a really beautiful shape. Unfortunately, it’s not a current style so you can only find on Poshmark, eBay, etc."

Side note: I also just discovered Evelyn Bobbie underwear and I LOVE them — so comfortable and they don't ride up. Their sports bras are also a solid option with seamless, comfortable support, but don't check off the cute-and-lacy box.

Third Love 24/7 Classic T-Shirt Bra

Tired of boob sweat, Christine laments her post-baby boob gain, “I’m a D now. I’ve fed my baby. Can I please go back to A cup?" She loves True & Co by Target and Third Love.

Natori Feathers Full Figure Contour Underwire Bra

Robin shares a story about her friend Megan, whose breasts seemed to have a life of their own, growing like magic beans, or magic boobs, a condition she inherited from her grandmother. I followed up with Megan, who has since undergone breast reduction surgery after her cup size reached a G.

"I didn't realize how severe my back and neck pain was until afterward," she shared. "They removed 4 pounds of breast tissue, and it completely changed my life." She swore by Natori bras for their feminine touch or had to resort to special-ordering sports bras designed for DDD+ athletes. "I love having so much choice now!" she says.

Understance Asymmetry-Friendly Chloe UniWire Demi Bra

"One gap I don't think has been filled in the market is what those of us with different cup sizes do," said Ann. "I’m a C on the right and DD on the left and ending up wearing a D that sags on one side and squashes me on the other."

Turns out this bra unicorn exists! For asymmetrical breasts, check out Understance and Third Love.

Attention Checkered Vans Lovers: They’re Back & Better Than Ever

I've worn so many iterations of Vans shoes in my day. The black and white checkered slip-ons and the high top skate shoes have done me good since my middle school days, and admittedly, I still even have a few in my closet that I was sporting in the school hallways. Oh, nostalgia!

Though I’ve dipped my toes into other shoe styles like New Balance sneakers and Birkenstock sandals as of late, I still can’t deny the sheer timelessness of Vans – and they’ve come a long way from what they used to be.

Vans is still rockin’ with their classic silhouettes, but they also have some super exciting new ones like Mary Janes and loafers (I know, right?!). Some of the coolest Vans I’ve been eyeing also approach the ever-so trendy “It” girl shoe territory, much like the famed Adidas Sambas. 👀

Scroll on for 11 groundbreaking Vans designs that’ll absolutely influence your next shoe purchase!

Classic Slip-On Checkerboard Stackform Shoe

A classic! An OG! I salute this shoe! I love this platformed iteration even more, too. You get an instant boost from the 34 mm thick rubber soles, and they're so easy to slip into with the elastic inserts on each side. These shoes are fitted with Vans' signature rubber waffle outsoles for added traction when you walk.

The Classic Slip-On Stackform Shoe is also available in black, white, and cream for $70.

Old Skool Stackform Shoe

These sneaks are named 'Old Skool' for a reason – they're a classic Vans staple! Of course, you've gotta have the recognizable contrasting side stripe. Like the first Vans listed, these get stylishly pumped up with thick platformed soles. The lace-up upper is made from a mix of durable suede and canvas that can withstand lots of wear and weathering.

These are shoppable in 5 more colorways for $80.

Style 53 Heavy Canvas Shoe

Let's hear it for these cute Vans loafers! I love that they're the proper style for the office, but are comfy enough for your commute. Vans touts these as the grown-up version of their original 90's creepers. They have a slip-on fit for ease, boast a slightly textured canvas upper, and sizable rubber soles for added traction.

The Style 53 Heavy Canvas Shoe is available in 4 other colors for $70.

Sport Low Shoe

Adidas Sambas, who?! These skate-inspired retro Vans boast an eye-catching color palette that easily rivals the currently cult favorite. The outer layer is made from fuzzy suede and leather accents. The v-shaped side stripe gives this pair instant brand recognition, too. The extended tongue with a bold "Off The Wall" graphic adds a nice curb appeal, if that's what you're shopping for.

Though playful in color, these sneakers are straightforward enough incorporate into everyday 'fits and they come in tons of color combos for $75.

Mary Jane Shoe

I see you, Vans. I am obsessed with this more femme expression of their shoes! I remember the first Vans Mary Janes from the Vans x Lisa Says Gah! collaboration being sold out for ages, but now, there are countless colors to shop from. These sporty shoes flaunt a low profile, contrast stitching, a rubberized toe, and the classic Mary Janes strap with an adjustable gold buckle. They're classy yet casual, so you can style them any way you want, really!

There are 8 more colorways to shop from for just $60. I love to see that price. As they've been since my middle school days, Vans is affordable, but their quality and durability is simply unmatched.

Hylane Shoe

Reminiscent of some famous Nike and New Balance designs, the Hylane Shoe is just dripping in old school aesthetic. The leather and synthetic upper is ultra-chunky and padded, taking inspiration from skating shoes. The lightly-treaded outsole flexes the Vans logo, but the side stripe and puffy tongue clue you into the brand immediately.

I love the bold look of this green among the white, but there are 4 additional colors to pick from for $90.

Authentic Shoe

These Vans give a super fun and sunny pop of color, especially for summertime! A brighter take on their classic Authentic Shoe which was first introduced in 1966, this newer interpretation boasts round laces instead of flat ones, a thin canvas upper, and an exceptionally low-rise silhouette that's easy to wear with anything.

These come in tons more colors and patterns for just $60.

Slip-On Perf Leather Shoe

The leather upper on these slip-ons gives such a slick and sleek appearance. They're like and elevated version of the OG canvas slip-ons, and they're superbly easy to dress up or down based on your mood. These Vans are pretty flat in design, but are surrounded by comfortable padding around the ankle. They also have a nice cushy insole for added comfort.

As you can imagine, these come in tons of colors. They cost $65.

Lowland ComfyCush Shoe

So sporty! These lace-up shoes with the "flying V" graphic recalls vintage Vans styles. In fact, they're inspired by an archival 80's silhouette originally designed for playing tennis! I adore that they're super colorful with lots of playful accents that have personality. These sneaks are fitted with Vans' ComfyCush™ footbed and outsole for extra softness. The logo is embossed on the thick soles and tongue.

There's a handful of colors to pick from for $90.

Authentic Lowpro Shoe

I love me some nuetrals with a pop of color! These low-laying shoes have contrasting fat, fuzzy laces that offer a breath of fresh air. The suede upper feels sophisticated without being out of place. Like the Authentic Shoe with a slimmer shape, these don't boast a ton of extra bells and whistles, so they're great for everyday wear.

You can find the Authentic Lowpro Shoe in 3 more colors for $60.

Knu Stack Shoe

Get a major boost from these 34 mm chunky platforms! They are very skater-y, which could be a cool contrast to a more polished ensemble. These flaunt a suede upper, 3D side stripe, oversized laces, and a puffy tongue for a total throwback vibe. I enjoy the earthy color palette of these shoes, but you can find them in 4 more colorways for $90.

Ayo Edebiri Really Loves Her 'The Bear' Cast Mates — And Jeremy Allen White's "Beautiful Blue Eyes"

2023 proved to be one of the best years in television history, and one new TV show that everyone was talking about was The Bear. Not only did it provide even higher career stakes for all of our favorite chefs, but it also deepened the relationships, connections, and heart the first season gave us. I can't wait to see how The Bear season 3 takes the drama a step further — and hopefully brings in a slew of guest stars that rivals season 2's "Fishes" episode. The Bear season 3 is officially coming June 2024! Here's everything you need to know about the new installment. Yes, chef! Read up on The Bear season 3 before checking out the latest season 4 news too.

Are The Bear cast friends?

Image via Chuck Hodes/FX Networks

Yes, the cast of The Bear are all friends! In a recent profile with Vanity Fair(which dropped after THAT video of Jeremy Allen White & Ayo Edebiri at Wrigley Field went viral), Ayo Edebiri reveals that filming the pilot was almost "too enjoyable," and they weren't sure whether the show would be popular enough to continue.

“Work can be a very intimate thing and a very personal thing and a very emotional thing, and I think when you’re also in industries that are creative or creative adjacent, I think there’s something that also invokes feelings of passion,” she continues.

“We really enjoy each other in life, on camera and off camera," Jeremy Allen White says. "I have a tremendous amount of respect for her as a person, but also as an artist. And so I hope that sort of that kind of thing shines through on camera between Carm and Syd...Syd is always able to [deliver] something different to Carmy, and she’s usually right. And I guess I think Ayo is also usually right.”

“Also, boy’s got some beautiful blue eyes," Ayo says. "You know what I mean? Those are eyes you want to project onto.”

When is The Bear season 3 coming out?

Image via FX/Hulu

The Bear season 3 is coming to FX and Hulu Thursday June 27, 2024. During the 2024 SAG Awards, Matty Matheson let us know that filming for season 3 is going "really well."

"It's just heads down, full hearts," he says. "We're just back in Chicago, weather's kind of nice. Big scripts, big scenes, cameras are on and we're ready." Until we get to see The Bear season 3, feel free to rewatch seasons 1 and 2 on Hulu — I know I will!

Who's going to be in The Bear season 3 cast?

Image via FX/YouTube

You can expect all your favorite The Bear cast members to return for season 3, including Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, and Ayo Edebiri. And it's official: fan favorite guest star Will Poulter will be back for season 3 too!

Jeremy Allen White also told Deadlinethat he'd love to see another episode where “we can get as many (guest stars) to come back for one day,” just like the chaotic family Christmas episode of The Bear season 2.

Erin Jones on TikTok makes the fantastic point that bringing in another chef, possibly one from Carmy's past life, that shows interest in Sydney could help steer the romantic side of the show because it could help Carmy realize he likes her. I, for one, am totally here for Sydney x Carmy endgame, and while it's still up in the air, you simply cannot deny that Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri have incredible chemistry. (And I am still waiting on Ayo Edebiri to star in a romantic comedy!!)

Did The Bear win any SAG Awards?

Image via FX/Hulu

The Bear once again won big at the 2024 SAG Awards, winning for Comedy Series Ensemble, Male Actor in a Comedy Series, and Female Actor in a Comedy Series. During our Q+A with Inside Out 2's Ayo Edebiri, she mentioned the biggest lesson she's learned from Sydney is to embrace good lessons — not just the hard parts of life.

"You don't need to learn lessons from hard things or bad things, it's equally as important to learn them in wonderful moments, [even if] it sometimes might feel hard to," she says. Check out our interview here!

What is The Bear season 3 about?

Image via FX

In an interview with Variety, Jeremy Allen White revealed that after all of season 2 focused on Carmy and the gang opening a brand new restaurant, The Bear season 3 will feel more aligned with season 1.

"Now, in the third season, I think we’re going to go back to that functioning kitchen atmosphere that we had in the first," White said in the interview.

Now that the staff of The Bear has finished opening the restaurant, they're able to just run it!

"In January, I’m going to spend a fair amount of time getting together with some chefs," White continued. "There’ll be a menu set, I believe, that’s going to be for the restaurant in the third season. And I know that I’m going to start putting together that menu with different chefs and cooking and just trying to get prepared to do more of that stuff on camera."

Who are the Faks in The Bear?

Image via FX/Hulu

The Faks are family friends of the Berzattos. The two Faks we know best are the hilarious brothers Neil (Matty Matheson) and Theodore (Ricky Staffieri). Neil is always around to help Carmy and the gang fix something (because, naturally, something is always broken) and we hope he's around a lot more for The Bear season 3!

Did The Bear win any Emmy Awards?

Image via FX/Hulu

Yes, The Bear won a bunch of Emmys this past year, including: Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Jeremy Allen White, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Ayo Edebiri.

Who plays Carmen's mom in The Bear season 2?

Image via FX/YouTube

Natalie and Carmy's mom, Donna (who you can see in the season 2 episodes "The Fishes" and "The Bear"), is played by Academy Award winner, Jamie Lee Curtis.

Why is Carmy called Bear?

Image via FX/Hulu

Carmy's last name is Berzatto, so multiple family members are called different forms of "Bear" as a family nickname or term of endearment (like "Sugar Bear" or "Mikey Bear"). Carmy is most frequently referred to as just "Bear," and decides to name his restaurant The Bear.

Jeremy Allen White & Ayo Edebiri Got Cozy At A Baseball Game And The Internet's Gone Crazy

I have been a SydCarmy truther since day one. ICYMI, Ayo Edebiri's Sydney and Jeremy Allen White's Carmy are two of the leads in FX's The Bear, and while the two characters are business partners and close friends, they have yet to become a real couple onscreen. And some fans are hoping the relationship stays platonic. But considering I started The Bear because I saw a SydCarmy fan edit on TikTok, I am not one of those people. On May 19, Ayo and Jeremy were spotted with the rest of the cast at a Wrigley Field baseball game, and the internet went CRAZY.

www.tiktok.com

This is so cuteee 😫. Someone said they r method acting 🤭😂#jeremyallenwhite#ayoedebiri#jeremyallenwhiteedit#avoedebiriedit#thebear#sydneyadamu#carmyberzatto#sydcarmy#sydcarmyedit#friendship#actors#banter#chemistry#cute#fyp#viral#trending#baseballgame#methodacting .

In the video, Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri are sitting beside each other, and Jeremy can be seen rubbing circles on Ayo's back...for quite a few seconds. "how am i to be non chalant about this?" one X user says, while another jokes that "he has two kids he’s just burping her."

TikTok users are swooning just as much, with fans joking that "Method acting is wild" and "THEY ARE MY 2016 [TOM HOLLAND AND ZENDAYA] Y'ALL DON'T GET IT." My favorite comment references Ayo's running joke that she's from Ireland, and calls Jeremy the "soon to be prince of Ireland."

Image via FX/Hulu

Considering Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney just confirmed their relationship rumors were a ploy to market Anyone But You, it is very possible Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White are trying to get eyes on the show. It's also possible that "it looks like a soothing rub, maybe she felt sick and that's why he rubbed her back and she then drank water," as another TikTok comment points out. (Plus, Jeremy Allen White and girlfriend Rosalía haven't confirmed a split.)

Either way, there is a LOT of love between the two co-stars. "We really enjoy each other in life, on camera and off camera," Jeremy tells Vanity Fair for Ayo's recent profile. "I have a tremendous amount of respect for her as a person, but also as an artist. And so I hope that sort of that kind of thing shines through on camera between Carm and Syd."

“Syd is always able to...I don’t know, to deliver something different to Carmy, and she’s usually right,” he continues. “And I guess I think Ayo is also usually right.”

Do you hope Sydney and Carmy get together in The Bear season 3? I sure do. Read up on the latest The Bear season 4 news AND the other Most-Anticipated Summer TV Shows you can't miss this year.

This Perfectly Easy & Cheesy Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe Will Wow Your Guests

Pasta – in my humble opinion – is the best food group of them all. And when you combine it with rich cheese, salty cured meat, and *lots* of garlic, it can only get better! You'll get a taste of all of the above with this spaghetti carbonara recipe. Using fresh noodles, authentic pancetta (or guanciale), Pecorino Romano cheese, and freshly ground black pepper is the key to executing this dish flawlessly. It's the best dose of carbs that'll cheer you up after a long day and keep your dinner party guests coming back for seconds (and begging for the recipe)!

Here's how to make this easy spaghetti carbonara recipe.

Ingredients for Spaghetti Carbonara

Photo by Karolina Grabowska / PEXELS

14 oz spaghetti
7 oz cooked pancetta or guanciale, diced (can also use bacon)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese (can also use Parmesan)
4 cloves garlic, freshly grated
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt

Directions for Spaghetti Carbonara

Photo by Lucie Liz / PEXELS

Cook the spaghetti to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
Cook the pancetta/guanciale/bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic. Cook until the meat is crispy and let sit.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the cheese. Add lots of black pepper.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the meat and garlic. Remove from the heat.
Next, quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing quickly to ensure the eggs don't scramble. The residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs just enough to create a creamy sauce. If it turns out too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.
Top with more cheese and black pepper and serve!
