This Red Bra Hack Will Blow Your Mind!!

08 November 2022

Thanks to the world of TikTok we are always discovering new hacks, and it appears this also applies to lingerie. Influencer @fashioninflux took to her TikTok to show how a red bra is actually the most 'invisible' colour under a white top.

White tops are a crucial part of your capsule wardrobe that will cover you across all the seasons, so it is important to ensure your lingerie looks as invisible as possible. Although you may think its obvious you wear a white bra with a white top, well let us tell you that is not the case. The reason why - white simply doesn't contrast against a sharp white, allowing the bra to be visible.

Well a nude bra must be the answer, we hear you say. Yes and No. A nude bra can work as an invisible bra under a white top, however matching a nude shade that is the right tone for your skin can be difficult, which again can result in the wrong type of contrast. That is where the red bra comes in!

Red bras can suit all skin tones, you just need to ensure it is either a true red, deep red or burgundy red for the best results. Don't just take our word for it, see the results in action with @fashioninflux where she tested a red bra vs a white bra under a white top and the results are, shall we say, extremely visible!

A red bra under a white top is a bra hack that everyone needs to know about. The reason why this hack works is because red absorbs the light, allowing it to blend with the colour of your skin rather than repel it like a white bra does. However be sure not to go with a red bra that has pink / fuchsia undertones as otherwise the trick won't work. For the best results you want a deep red or burgundy toned bra.
