The Best Lingerie Colors for Your Skin Tone
The right color of lingerie can make or break your entire look when you take skin undertones into consideration.
Skin undertones does not necessarily pertain to how tan you are, but rather the hue that your skin is.
Undertones range from warm tones, cool tones, and neutral. There are even some colors that everyone can pull off! (Completely foolproof!)
How to determine your undertone:
It’s easy to find your undertone -- first, find some white contrast. For example, hold onto a white bra, shirt, or a strip of paper. Using a mirror, hold that same object near your face in the sunlight.
(Lightbulbs can cast warm or cool tones themselves and can throw off your results. For best results, natural light is best.)
Warm undertones would include yellow, or olive colors, and golden hues.
Cool undertones cast colors like rose, blue or pink.
Neutral Undertones, the fillers like greys, though not unloved.

Sister Sizes (Explained)
Much like swapping clothes with your sisters, a sister-size bra has all the necessary functions with a different size label. In a bra, the band and cup sizes work symbiotically. The cup volume is an essential factor in a well-fitting bra. Sister sizes are plural for a reason. Each bra size can have multiple sister sizes, although our recommendation is to stick with the two closest sizes.
Repeat after me. If you size up the band, the cup size will go down. If you size down the band, the cup size will go up. (Have you caught on to what’s going on here?) The bra and band work inversely when calculating Sister Sizes.
