I like all different color bras. But I always have at least one solid white and one solid black. Full coverage, preferably cotton,though that's not as important. I just ordered one of each of 5 different brands to see which one feels the best.

I only wear nude or black. I used to have all colors, not sure why I quit.

Perfect timing, I had questions on ones from dreamproducts. Wondered about the quality. They look very comfy. Anybody tried any from there.

Never wear white as it shows through white clothing. I only buy nude and have one black one.

No white...ever :-) White underwear inevitably turns dingy after a few washings. I buy nude or blush almost entirely but will splurge on colored ones if on sale. I also always have a black on hand but only wear it when a lighter color is likely to show through.

In addition to multiple nudes, I have a black, a blue, a lavender purple and a red. And a couple of prints.

ok...just out of habit....it's going to be hard to NOT order white...maybe just 1..LOL Thanks for the replies ladies!!

After trying many many bras....I always stick with Maidenform...

No whites here either. I do have one ivory. Mostly nude, a couple in blush, black. I feel like I'm overstocked right now. I have a way of finding something I like, then loading up when on sale. Lip pencils, bras, socks.

Never white....nude, black and denim blue.

I guess I'm an oddball, I have to have at least one white and preferably a very bright, new pristine one. But nude and black make more sense. The last time I bought bras I splurged a little and found some Bali bras that are just divine. I don't like padded, or wires or anything that is hard or unnatural and these particular ones are just what I like, soft, stretchy and comfortable. I need stretchy because my arthritic hands and fingers and wrists really give me a hard time with putting on bras.

When it comes to bra shopping, color should take a back seat to fit—the “way-back” (remember that station-wagon lingo?) seat. ;) When’s the last time you were professionally fitted? Do you have a lingerie shop close by? (Victoria’s Secret doesn’t count!)

Edited to add that as far as brands go, there is something to be said for spending the money on mid-range lines like Wacoal to higher-end lines such as Freya, Chantelle, etc.

I like Olga bras, and I usually wait until I'm in desperate need to buy them. I prefer nude, which is kind of boring I guess. Kohl's has a good selection and I think they have lingerie sales in January. I don't think I've ever had a black bra. If I did, it was long, long ago.

I bought two yesterday at Kohls, buy 1 get 1 half off, but found I can get 3 at Macys for the price of the 2 at kohls so I'm going to order through Macys..just gotta pick my colors.

Wacoal. I need underwire and these are actually comfortable.

Do yourself a favor and go to a place and get fitted. Once you have THE bra, you can shop around and get subsequent bras cheaper

I started wearing Enell bras a while back, I like them.

Maidenform has always been comfortable for me. An ideal bra would be a wide band and side to help with back and side underarm fat, a demi cup, but a small cup..a small B if there was a bra-god. I don't have enough boobage to fill the cup. I like a lined cup, some padding would be nice but from the bottom..I don't like the padded bras where the cup is "pre-shaped" though. I placed my order, 1 black, 2 nude, 1 ivory. No white this time ;-)

I agree with the above remark about back & side fat. I've always been very active and lean but having to take prednisone for the past couple years has really packed on the weight. I've finally got boobs but not on purpose. I kind of hate them now that I have them teehee! Kind of a 'be careful what you wish for' experience for me. I'll have to check out the Maidenform.

Agree with no white!

I finally gave up the underwire bras, not worth the discomfort. Went back to Soma to ask about a lifting bra with no underwire, told them I wanted comfort most of all. I got two different types but one of them I quit wearing because I found it not very comfortable. I then bought a couple more on-line of the one I did like. I just looked it up, it's the Enbliss wireless bra. They're on sale now for $48 each and bogo 50% off right now.

I only ever buy nude as they blend in with my skin so less visible under any clothing. But fit and comfort is everything. Then again, so is price. I buy mine from Hanes One Place, usually Bali minimizers. It'd have to be a pretty phenomenal bra to get me to pay $65+. I tried wacoal and was disappointed. Certainly not worth the price.

What are you going for? Mine are all nude. White when I am DESPERATE and they are out of nude. If you want to hint at something then get a color and spend life worrying about what you are wearing it under--is my way of thinking.

These are the only bras I wear now. In different colors Cozy Bras I started wearing them when I had my frozen shoulder and couldn't fasten a bra anymore. They are very comfortable and very affordable and last a long time.

Three nude, one white, and one black. Warners is my favorite. I buy nude underwear too.

Well now....sports bras are a whole nuther can of worms. lol I have lime green, hot pink, red, chartruse. They show around the neck of my shirts. I usually wear Nike.

I have about 3-4 white, 5-6 nude, about 10-12 black. I wear the black ones the most since 80% of my work clothes are black. Lol

Why so many, summers?

Always1step, I have one lone white bra and wear it under white tank tops or sleeveless dresses when a peek of a white strap looks pretty and crisp. Other than that, I get much more use out of nude, pink, black, or navy.

I stopped wearing white underwear pretty much as soon as I left my mother's clutches after high school. Other colors are truly more versatile and are easier to wear undetected.

Lol. a good question. Not a shopaholic though, just have a couple places, so I have clothes here and there. Plus as a gardener, have to change more often during the summer months.

No white as it shows. Nude and black and at least 3 of each. I have one in a pretty blush color I really like too. Wacoal fits me well.Chantelle too and I have had a few Natori racer back I liked. I try to find them on sale. I wear my Moving Comfort sports bras in the garden as they are much more comfortable.

I have nude ones and nudes with a speckled pattern. No black or white and I don't wear a bra around the house either.

If I went braless I'd bruise my knees when I walked!

:)

I mail order my bras as I *hate* bra shopping...I find the band size but not the cup or vice versa, then I find one that's the right size, but it's the wrong color, or not the style I wanted...underwire/not...lined cup/not...etc. etc. There are more choices and thus less selection than almost any other product I can think of. And I'm a more unusual size, so the game is rigged against me right from the start.

I've found one model that's comfortable, fits well, moderately priced, and then send for it and it comes in exactly what I'm looking for...no more scavenger hunt through the lingerie department.

LOL!! Annie, your comment made me laugh. Maybe a slight exaggeration but I get where you are coming from!! Gravity is the downfall (no pun intended) of well-endowed women as they age :-) I often do not wear a bra at home......at best it might be a comfort or sleep bra but those offer almost no support either. Just not quite as bad as going free range! Only if I plan to go out in public or expect company do I bother with a real bra.

And I can't do the pullover style of sports bra or comfort bra. Like trying to put on a wetsuit!! It has to have a closure, either front or back.

ps. Unexpected visitors are not welcome at my house :-) Fortunately I seldom ever have any - even my sister texts before she stops by. If I am planning to be at home all day, I seldom dress for company and that includes proper upper undergarments. I am also not inclined to put in my teeth, which is an even more frightening appearance consideration! One of the advantages to living alone is that you can get away with these omissions.......it's only the dog and he has seen me at my worst and doesn't care and won't tell anyone:-)

FWIW a French study has shown that going braless helps breasts not sag.

It's an interesting finding for a country where all my bras are made ;-)

I do have a beige one. I wear it when I go to the doctor.

You folks are a hoot. I so resemble some of the comments. Oh my aching knees

No white, and as mentioned go to a good store to get fitted. I went to Nordstrom for a fitting. What a change, I only buy wacoal now, but never pay much for them. I buy some on sale in the store but mostly on ebay for a very good price. I love Wacoal.

I wear a lot of white all year long, so I must have a white one or two. Others are nude, Black and if I am lucky to find a red in my size (which is rare), I love that too. My hands hurt frequently and need front closure on at least two. My hubby will close back closure's for me if he is home. I cannot wear underwire and I am very large breasted. Kind of narrows me with choices.

I wear a lot of white t shirts so I think that is why I would always order at least 2 white bras...I don't find underwires uncomfortable. I feel like without them, a soft cup would just slip up over my boobs since they don't have much ehhh…"projection" to keep the bra in place.. LOL. I know a lot of woman find bras uncomfortable but I don't. As a matter of fact, I feel more comfortable with a bra on. Weird.

I like strapless bras, it’s much easier and more comfy. But I don’t think the strapless would work on L or XL ones, not enough support for the heavy load.

Haven’t worn one since I quit nursing my youngest. About 40 years ago.

I hate wearing a bra and usually don't.

One of the joys of being small breasted.

Re bra showing through clothing, it's the contrast with your skin color that makes a bra really show, so a white one with a white blouse will be more visible than a nude one. Of course if you're going for a look where it shows, as some do, then go for it.

Top photo is with a white bra, bottom with a nude one.

I was a certified bra fitter at my last job. It was a ladies boutique that specialized in breast prosthesis and bras, and catered to the more than ample sized ladies with a good selection of larger cup sizes. It was a fun job.

And at that shop, we always encouraged the ladies to stick with nude for their lingerie.

These days I have to go to high end stores or specialty shops to get the size I need. Most stores stop at DDD.

My description of my more than ample bosoms now at age 78 is 3 lbs of warm mashed potatoes in 4 lb bags. Knee slappers for sure.

Lgmd_gaz, that is just too funny!!! It really is quite liberating that us gals can be perfectly honest.
