For the longest time I went through life with one bra, not because I didn’t want more, but because I just couldn’t find ones that I liked. So, when it came to finding convertible bras to go with any outfit, I was stumped. Honestly, I was even surprised to find out such a thing existed. The best convertible bras, I learned, could be turned into a strapless, a backless, a racerback, a criss-cross, a t-strap and a one-shoulder bra, all while still having the capability to be worn classically.
Here I was with one ratty bra, discovering that one good bra could do a multitude of things. Special thanks to the inventive genius who blessed us with this option, because now, my wardrobe was saved. I did my research and tried on a mountain-high stack of the best convertible bras when it came time for me to wear one under my strapless, backless prom dress. Why have one old bra that does only one boring thing, when you can have one amazing convertible bra that can do a million things? In my honest opinion, convertible bras that can go with any outfit are the heroes of the underwear world.
