Lace n Lingerie|July 2022
Shoulder straps are the unglorified/unsung heroes of the bra. They have always been an integral part of the design, quietly providing secondary support, an expert at enamormentions. The origin of bra straps starts with the shift from corsets to brassieres. The early designs of bras were nonpadded, wire-free styles that required shoulder straps to hold the fabric on top. Even as brassieres evolved over time to bras to padded and sports bra, shoulder straps continue to be an integral part of a bra design. While straps play a role in providing additional support, their primary importance lies in guiding and ensuring the positioning of the bra is intact for a more comfortable fit.
THE HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF BRA STRAPS

Mohit Jain, Brand Head, Floret Lingerie when highlighting what the women should check in terms of bra straps mentions, "Women need to be sure of their body type and the kind of bra that suits their body type, As well as the end use for the bra. We usually use high quality straps that are extra buff, this gives additional comfort and rarely ever leaves any kind of impression on the skin. Women should also always ensure they are wearing the right cup size. The cup size of the bra is directly related to the straps. Sometimes when our straps keep falling off despite them being snug, it's usually because they are wearing the wrong size".

Designing the right fit

"Our selection for a design completely depends on who the end user is, obviously. If it is a hip trendy user the bra is designed for, we would go for the latest trends, strappy and fun, or luxurious. If it's a bra specifically designed for daily long time wear, or for plus size women, we would ideally go for wider straps as they put less pressure on the shoulders and neck," Mohit adds.

A spokesperson at enamorfurther broke down the idea of straps for us and went on to mention the types available. "Shoulder straps can be differentiated accordingly to their width, orientation, or design. Bra straps come in either thin width or thick width. amanté offers styles with varied bra strap options and they are fabricated with the softest brushed elastics so they feel comfortable on the skin.
