When it comes to bra reviews, here at Lingerie Briefs, we’re not big fans. Every woman’s body is unique so the fit issue remains partisan. One opinion never tells the entire story.

It has warmed up considerably here in Los Angeles over the past few days, which has me searching for all breathable cotton-clothing options to kick my summer wardrobe into high gear. When it’s hot out, we can all agree the simpler the outfit, the better. Sometimes even forgoing the underwire in your bra adds that extra needed comfort and coolness.
