A stylist has revealed the common mistakes that people make when picking out their bras.
Taking to social media, a woman who worked at a luxury lingerie company says that there are three mistakes that are often made when it comes to picking the right bra.
The former stylist, named Kenzie, shared her tips to more than 320,000 followers on TikTok, claiming that as many as 80 percent of people have been wearing the wrong bras their whole life, reports the Mirror.
The woman, who posts under the username @stylingwithkenzie, explains: "80 percent of you wearing this video are wearing the wrong bra size and I'm going to tell you why."
She spoke about her first job out of college, where she was trained on how to properly fit women into bras.
Kenzie started: "Number one - the fit of a bra band is the most important. The fit of the band should fit parallel around the small of your back and you shouldn't be able to pull it out more than two inches.
"A lot of women get the sizing of the band completely wrong because they're concerned about the snug fit, but over time your bra is going to stretch out, so you want to make sure that when you're trying on a bra for the first time that you're attaching it to the loosest hook and not the tightest."
She continued: "Number two - cup size. The fit of your cup is influenced by your band size. As your band size changes, so does your cup size. So, for every band size that you go down, you should be going up in a cup size.
"If your breasts are spilling out of your bra or coming out of the sides or your underwire isn't comfortable then your cups are probably too small.
"If your bra is sagging, puckering, or even has gaps, then your cup size is too big. This may come as a surprise, but your straps are not there for support, it's your cups and your band that is providing the support in your bra.
"Number three - your cup shape really matters. There are over 25 different bra styles and most popular stores only carry five, which means you might be wearing a t-shirt bra right now, but actually your breast size, your breast position and breast shape are better fitted for a balconette or a plunge bra.
"By wearing the proper bra shape, you'll look more lifted, more smooth, but most importantly, you'll feel more comfortable and more supported," she added.
Many TikTokers gushed over the useful tips in the comment section. One person wrote: "This is super helpful! Great video, thank you!" Another agreed: "Great advice! So true."
A third penned: "I have spillage at the centre of the cup and space at the top," to which Kenzie replied: "That may be an indication you need a different style!"
