These Are Officially Britain's Most Popular Bras

When it comes to finding the perfect bra, I'm always at a loss. Of course, my 32G size presents its own set of problems but, those aside, the fact that there are literally thousands of styles to choose from makes it an increasingly daunting endeavour. Which is why I decided to take matters into my own hands.

Having never truly explored different undergarment outfitters, I took it upon myself to reach out to various brands to find out—directly from the source—what their most popular bras are. I was surprised to learn that all of their respective best sellers have one of the following things in common: They're either lacy and sultry or, conversely, practical T-shirt bras. It's also clear that most of the top styles are black in tone, followed by red and beige.

What is it, however, that makes these bras so special? The buyers have their own theories but it's clear that us women want to have the right bra for the right day, though I reckon many of what you're about to be used in multiple outfits and for multiple purposes.
