How to Prevent Your Bra From Showing Through Shirts

Are you tired of dealing with your bra showing through your favorite shirts? It can be frustrating when an awesome outfit looks a bit off when straps are showing, or your bra is bumpy under your shirt. You shouldn’t feel embarrassed about straps showing of course, it’s not a big deal! But we get it, sometimes it’s nice to have one less thing to worry about, so that’s why we’ve gathered some practical tips to help you prevent your bra from peeking through (especially when you're wearing Apricotton bras!).

our top tips for a seamless look: 

1. Choose seamless fabrics: Apricotton bras offers a range of bras designs that are all made from SUPER soft and seamless fabrics that provide a smooth silhouette under clothing. Our bras help prevent lines and bulges, ensuring your outfit always looks clean and polished.
2. Choose neutral colors: If you’re struggling with colored bras showing under thinner shirts and white tops, we’d recommend trying nude or pastel bras! Our Milk Tea Bra is one of our fav designs for every day because it hides easily under tops and blends seamlessly with your skin tone to provide a natural look! And because many of you requested a black sports bra that hides under dance leotards, we made our Artemis Sports Bra to have a lower cut neckline to hide under any top!

3. Convertible and racerback designs: All of our bras have adjustable straps that you can unhook and criss-cross! They hide perfectly under tank tops and racerback styles, not to mention provide extra support by distributing weight evenly across your shoulders! They’re also designed to last through multiple stages of growth during puberty, so it’s totally worth the investment! A few quality basics in your wardrobe will make the biggest difference.
4. Ensure Proper Fit: At Apricotton, finding the right size is crucial for comfort and minimizing bra visibility. Bras that are too loose won’t fit properly, and any gapping and extra fabric may contribute to lumps under your shirt. Use our easy size guide to find your perfect fit today - all you need is your underbust measurement! :) 

Preventing your bra from showing through shirts is all about choosing the right design, color, and fit. You shouldn’t have to worry about what your bra looks like throughout the day, or feel embarrassed that it looks strange under your shirt. We’re here to boost your confidence and help you stay comfy all the time! So go ahead and try out these tips, or better yet, check out our collection of everyday bras, sports bras, and bras for any occasion!
