Back to School Bras for Teens

Whether you're a freshman starting high school or a senior looking forward to your last year, school is just around the corner. While you’re shopping for the latest fall fashions to wear in the school year, don't forget about a new bra to go along with those new tops. After all, who wants to go back to school with an old bra under their new clothes?

Be Sure to Check Your Size — and Have Fun Shopping!

Before you shop, make sure you know your size. We know; it can feel embarrassing going in for a bra fitting, but at Hourglass, we make the experience fun! Just think of how much more comfortable class will be with the right bra?

Did you know that wearing the wrong size is one of the biggest sources of bra discomfort? And that most adult women aren’t even wearing the right size? Yikes. When it comes to your teen years, sizes change rapidly. You can't always rely on what your bra size was as recently as a few months ago. You might jump a cup size before you even realize it! This is why it’s important to be fitted for your bra when things don’t feel quite right.

The sheer variety of choices in the world of bras is fabulous. Unfortunately, it can also be a little intimidating, especially when you're just getting started.  Moulded, padded, strapless, t-shirt, wired, wireless – where do you even begin? Plus, bras come in all kinds of sizes and measurements, cuts and colors. You might see terms like large and small, or sizes like 34B. While all of this may seem overwhelming, try to have fun shopping and exploring until you find the type of bra that is right for you.

To get you started on your back-to-school shopping adventure, check out these favorites.

The Athlete in All of Us: Sports Bras You Need

Whether you're a star soccer player or the girl who dreads gym class, the right sports bra is a must. You'll need something comfortable that can also provide support during those grueling workouts (or just the heat of trying to stay safe during dodgeball).

Anita Peacock/Anthracite Extreme Control Sports Bra (5527)

The Anita Peacock has everything you need to stay in the game. This stylish bra features side support and has microfiber toweling to prevent (ouch!) chafing . It also has a moisture management system to keep you dry no matter how long you're at it.

Panache Cyber Print UW Sports Bra (5021)

The Panache cyber print sports bra is another great choice for girls who need extra support from their sports bra. The individual cups reduce bounce while providing both support and shape, while the microfiber fabric and breathable mesh panels provide some relief from the heat, so you’ll be cool and confident.

No more bra straps peeking out from under the sleeves with this bra.
