Shop perfectly fitting bras and bustiers
Few products are as close to the skin as underwear. bras and bustiers — which is why they carry such an important responsibility: they need to provide support, fit comfortably, and be both hardwearing and aesthetically pleasing. SCHIESSER offers a wide selection of bra styles that combine a perfect fit with exceptional wear comfort. The SCHIESSER bra guide helps you find your bra size and offers tips on achieving the right fit and choosing the most suitable bra style.
What is the most comfortable bra?
Since every woman's bust shape and size is unique, your bra should adapt perfectly to your body — without pinching, pressing, or digging in — while still providing reliable support. When you move your upper body or arms, the bra should stay firmly in place without causing discomfort. It should sit level at the front and back, with the cups enclosing your bust with every movement.
Alongside the cups, the straps play a crucial role. Only when they are adjusted to the correct length will they avoid digging into your shoulders or slipping down. Classic underwired bras are extremely popular when it comes to comfort. If you prefer not to have a built-in underwire, a wireless soft bra is an excellent alternative — its exceptionally soft material makes it a comfortable choice for everyday wear.
Not only the style, but also the material matters: whether you prefer natural cotton or breathable, elastic micro quality depends on your lifestyle and personal preferences. The SCHIESSER bra lines Unique Micro, Air, Casual Seamless, and Classic Seamless offer the ideal wear comfort for every need.
Finding the right bra for every occasion
When searching for the perfect bra, it's not just about finding a comfortable all-rounder for everyday wear — it's equally important to choose the right style for every occasion. Bra styles are as varied as the women who wear them. Whether at the office, during sport, or at a special event, SCHIESSER's extensive range of bras offers tailored cuts and materials to suit your everyday needs.
Underwired bras:
The classic choice in bras, the underwired style is a practical all-rounder for everyday wear. Underwired bra styles are suitable for almost all bust sizes and provide reliable support. Thanks to the integrated shaped underwire and padded, lined, or moulded cups, your bust is gently supported. Many wearers find underwired cup bras particularly comfortable. A special variation is the spacer bra, which — thanks to its three-dimensional fabric structure — is especially breathable and quick-drying.
Wireless bras:
Thanks to clever construction and innovative materials, wireless bra styles require no metal underwire to support your bust while still delivering comfortable wear comfort. Particularly popular are soft bras crafted from smooth, snug knitwear that adapts perfectly to your body's contours. Triangle bras, with their triangular cups, also typically do without underwiring. As they forgo padding as well, they give your bust a natural appearance. Wireless bralettes are likewise well suited to smaller to medium bust sizes.
Push-up bras:
By gently lifting your bust, a push-up bra puts your neckline in the spotlight. Push-ups with their padded cups are ideal if you have a smaller bust. Balconette bras also create a fuller-looking neckline thanks to their low-cut design.
Minimiser bras:
A minimiser bra lets you create a more discreet silhouette, using specially designed soft cups to visually reduce the appearance of your bust. It is particularly well suited to larger bust sizes.
Sports bras:
Sports bras are designed for physical activity and maximum freedom of movement. They provide optimal support for your bust, minimise movement, and are made from breathable materials.
What's better — a bra or a bustier?
Both bras and bustiers support your bust and fit comfortably. Depending on the construction, however, bustiers tend to be better suited to smaller to medium bust sizes. If you wear a cup size C or larger, you should opt for a bra that provides your bust with sufficient support.
Bras with lace and tasteful details
A bra should fit perfectly, provide support, and above all be comfortable. That said, the look naturally plays a role too. Whether you prefer skin-toned fabrics, plain-coloured bras, or bustiers with vibrant prints is entirely a matter of personal taste. Thoughtfully designed details make SCHIESSER bras and bustiers true eye-catchers in every sense. Delicate lace at the neckline, decorative bows, floral accents, or sparkling stones at the centre gore all add that special finishing touch. Intricate embroidery or fine lace through which a hint of skin subtly shows gives SCHIESSER Lingerie a particularly elegant and refined character. To complete your underwear set, it's a lovely idea to pair your bra or bustier with a matching brief in a complementary design.
Washing bustiers and bras
Bras and bustiers sit very close to the skin. During sport or in warm weather, underwear must absorb perspiration and keep skin feeling dry. For this reason, bras and bustiers should be washed regularly. However, as washing too frequently can damage the material, a gentle wash after every three to four wears is recommended. If you perspire heavily or after exercising, wash your underwear sooner to keep it hygienic.
As a general rule, always follow the care instructions on your bra's label. Hand washing with a delicate detergent is usually the gentlest option. If you wash your bra in the machine, fasten it beforehand. Using a laundry bag and selecting a delicate cycle is also advisable. Afterwards, simply leave your bras and bustiers to dry on a clothes airer.
