Strap Push up Bras

One of the most essential intimate apparel items in a woman's collection is the perfect strapless bra; however, I warn that there are proper and improper ways to effectively and stylishly wear a strapless bra this season.

Many women believe the strap must be hidden; however, this can not be further from the truth. In fact, new trends exist to both hide and flaunt the bra strap this summer. Summer fashions are revealing a lot of skin and it is important to be decisive in whether you show your bra straps or not. Beyond the traditional strapless bra, there are some trendy decorative straps that can really accentuate the dress or shirt and make a fashion statement.
