When it comes to fashion advice, it’s akin to life—it starts with a strong foundation. And the secret to a stylish wardrobe is to build it around pieces that fit well and properly. The simpler the item, the more it should look like it was made for your body’s proportions, whether it’s having the proper sleeve length, shoulders that sit just so, or a waist that hugs your silhouette perfectly.
This is especially true when it comes to bras. In fact, most experts recommend getting fit at least once a year, or when your body changes—and that’s where Wacoal comes in. The bra experts offer 76 sizes that range from A to I cup, with band sizes from 30 to 46. If you’re looking for a little help, the brand offers mybraFit™, a patent pending AI-powered digital fit tool that’ll help determine your accurate size within minutes and recommend the right bras for your unique shape. Everything is measured down to the millimeter (from the comfort of your own home, no less) to ensure you get the precise level of support and smoothing you require. You can also schedule a virtual consultation for a more personalized experience.
And on top of the right bra? You’ll want to add on other smart and versatile basics, of course. Read on to shop 12 pieces for a stylish and functional wardrobe.
When it comes to creating a sleek silhouette, a smoothing bra like Wacoal’s Back Appeal® Underwire Bra is key. Made to minimize back and side bulge, it creates a streamlined, bump-free foundation for all looks.
Few pieces are as versatile as a white tee and this one is cut to perfection. Featuring short sleeves that hit at the elbow and a boxy fit, it has just enough slouch to pair it with frayed-hem denim for laid-back occasions and a silk slip skirt for more formal moments.
This is the t-shirt bra to end all t-shirt bras. It's designed with soft foam cups to lift, smooth, and support, and it has a micro-thin spacer fabric lining to minimize bulge on the sides, top, and back. Wear it under any formfitting top to reap the benefits!
When it comes to choosing the ideal blazer, tailoring is key. This version sits perfectly on the shoulders while the rest of the silhouette has a bit of slouch (without looking sloppy). Wear with a great pair of denim or pull it on over a lacy cami for an alluring moment.
The trench is classic for a reason—it has New York City vibes without feeling uptight and looks great over literally anything in your closet. The right fit means it’ll cinch the waist and let the rest of your outfit do most of the talking.
No other jeans have stood the test of time more than this iconic pair. With a mid-rise and bootcut legs, the cut flatters any figure while elongating the leg. Great for weekend wear and a big night out alike, it feels both on-trend and timeless at once.
Wacoal’s Slim Silhouette Minimizer Bra reduces the bustline up to one inch, so your clothes fit even better, regardless of your bra size. It’s a must-have for button-front tops that tend to gape.
When choosing a dressy winter coat, look for clean lines and well-fitting shoulders. Another important detail is to hem the sleeves so they hit just below the wrists—this will keep you looking polished (and never dowdy).
A trouser that sits at the natural waist or lower and legs that skim the hips before billowing out is eternally chic. Wear with a blouse tucked in or an oversized, cropped sweater for an of-the-moment appeal.
The closet MVP, this versatile piece can be worn tucked into slacks or left loose over jeans. Bonus: The waist on this colorful style is roomy enough to give it that perfectly casual vibe.
A relaxed silhouette that’s fitted in the hip is a long-term investment that's well worth it. That said, for the best wear, size down—leather does stretch over time. Pair them with a textured top for a mixed media look.
Another perennially versatile item in your closet? A little black dress like this strapless version. Cut to hug the body, it’ll work equally well on its own as it does layered under a sweater or jacket.
