Let’s Start Wearing Bra Tops!

More women are becoming bra top fans because they are “comfortable and maintain an attractive bustline”!

Everyone, from young women to their mothers, own bra tops. And Uniqlo offers a wide selection of bra top products that are carefully planned for their shapes and materials every year while maintaining comfort. But what are the secrets behind their popularity?

The Bra Top White Paper

Reason #1
A huge hit since its launch! Many fans become repeating customers.

[Repeaters’ voices]
I’m impressed that the bra top’s silhouette and functionality are slightly updated year after year. It’s become an indispensable item for me. And it’s comfortable to wear. (Age: 30s)

I bought two more two weeks after I bought two lol. I’m currently wearing four bra tops in rotation. (Age: 40s)

[Voices from first-time customers]
After being curious about them for a while, I bought my first bra top in the spring/summer season when everyone’s wearing light clothes. They absorb perspiration, and just right for my daily commuting. (Age: 20s)

I tried bra tops from other brands, but my bustline sagged because they couldn’t support them enough… But Uniqlo’s lifts up and maintains my figure! (Age: 30s)

Reason #2
The wide selection of designs works great for various occasions. Here are Uniqlo’s two basic bra top product types:

Tank Top: Tank top-type with comfortably wide straps.

[Right]
Camisole: Camisole-type that’s also popular as innerwear for daily use.

The two basic bra top designs come in tank top or camisole form. Bra dresses in the spring/summer and U-neck 3/4-sleeve products in the fall/ winter seasons are also available.

Reason #3
Three types of material options to choose from according to your needs.

AIRism
Because AIRism material adjusts your body temperature under clothes, they are ideal to cope with temperature differences in the fall/winter and keep you cool and comfortable in the spring/summer.

Cotton
Cotton features premium texture that possesses unparalleled smooth feel and beautiful luster.

HEATTECH
Innerwear using Uniqlo’s exclusive heating and heat retention material is a must-have to keep you warm during the winter season.

The Differences:
Uniqlo’s bra tops feature three features necessary to function as bras.
(1) Gathers the bust to the center
(2) Keeps the bust top high.
(3) Prevents spreading to the sides.

Power net
Fits all figures with moderate support and elasticity.

Mold cup
Prevents the bustline from spreading to the sides and gathers toward the center.

Underlining elastic
Supports the bust from below and keeps the bust top high.

Uniqlo’s bra tops, like its wireless bras, are both effective in maintaining a flattering bustline and functional. Plus, they keep your posture well with their snug fit that’s not too tightening.

Q. What is the correct way to wear a bra top to create an attractive bustline?
Know the correct way to wear a bra top, surprisingly unknown, to improve your bustline!

A. The correct way to wear a bra top is to wear it from below.
1. Let the bra top pass through your legs like wearing a skirt
2. Position the underling elastic firmly in the right position.
3. Adjust the strap length to perfect your fit.

It’s easier to wear bra tops from your legs instead of from above, and your bustline will also naturally be lifted up because the underlining elastic fits your under bust perfectly.

Q. How should I care for my bra top correctly to make it last longer?
Handling is also important to extend functionality. Here are some tips on how to handle Uniqlo’s bra tops!
[Washing]
We recommend washing bra tops in laundry nets rather than just throwing them in the washing machine.

A. Laundry nets make cups last longer.
Place bra tops in laundry nets before putting them in the washing machine.

It’s better to place bra tops into laundry nets so that the material won’t stretch or be pulled. Arrange the cups neatly beforehand, checking for wrinkles and making sure they are not crushed.

[Drying]
Allow bra tops to dry by itself. Then, how should you hang them?

A. The correct way to dry bra tops by folding them in half.

Dry bra tops right by not crushing the cups!

The straps may stretch with the weight of water if you hang bra tops by their straps. Maintain the silhouette by folding your bra tops in half under the cups.

[Folding]
The final step for maintaining your bra top.
Achieve a perfect score in handling your bra top by storing them in the correct form!

A. Fold your bra top in three to keep cups round.

Place bra tops in laundry nets before putting them in the washing machine.

(1) Fold both sides:
Fold both sides of your bra top towards the center.

(2) Fold the shirt tail:
Fold the shirt tail to right below the cups.

(3) Fold your bra top in three:
Finally, fold the cups.

It’s okay to overlap them and store them!

Crushing the cups when folding them cause wrinkles and deformation. It’s recommended to fold bra tops into three when storing them for the purpose of keeping the cup shape. Feel free to store bra tops by overlapping them or lining them vertically.

Q. How should I choose a bra top that perfectly fits me?
Here’s a summary of important points in choosing your size to create an attractive bustline.
A. Your perfect-sized bra top won’t ride up with movement.

When fitting, move like you always do like raising your arms up and bending backwards. Try a size larger or smaller if the bra top moves or is too tight. It’s important to adjust your size when you feel different in order to maintain the supporting function of your bra top.
