With the new year right around the corner, you might be seeking a closet refresh\u2014and it’s a perfect time to freshen up your undergarments, too. Over time, your bras lose elasticity, shape and structure, so it’s important to keep them updated. It’s actually recommended to switch your go-to bra yearly.<\/p>\n

And buying one that fits right is so important, which is why we’ve compiled your complete guide to finding your perfect bra. We’ve got you, ahem, covered.<\/p>\n

Where to shop?<\/big><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether this is your first time bra shopping or you’re still on the hunt for your best fit, it can be hard knowing where to begin\u2014especially since there are so many retailers. Your bestie’s fave store might not work for you (and that’s OK), since stores can vary in terms of sizing and material. Victoria’s Secret<\/a>, Aerie<\/a> and department stores are great places to start since they all offer personal fittings. There are also online stores that specifically make bras for tweens and teens (Check out Bra Bar<\/a> and Yellowberry<\/a>).\u00a0Once you know your proper size, you can shop anywhere and try fun styles (think: bralettes and sports bras).<\/p>\n

The easiest way to solve this prob is to get measured by an expert. We know it can feel awkward, but it’s the best way to find your perfect fit.<\/p>\n

In a pinch? You can measure yourself at home with just a measuring tape. Peep the vid below for the step-by-step tutorial.<\/p>\n
