How to Hide Back Fat From Your Bra

Description

Lesson learned: If you say the words back fat in a room of mostly women, ears will perk up and you'll get all kinds of interested parties wanting to chat. It's a fit issue that can happen to anyone, no matter the size, and it's not always a sign that your bra is too small. I just talked to Michelle Lam, CEO and founder of fit-focused online bra shop True & Co., to talk bras, and the biggest eureka moment of our convo centered on, well, you guessed it "A bra should rest comfortably against the back and sides of a woman's torso, whatever size or shape she is. 'Back fat' may be a symptom of a band that's too tight, resulting in spillover," said Michelle, but she cautioned that it could also be because skin loses elasticity as we age. "It's not fat and a natural part of getting older. Sizing up to a bigger band means the wearer might not be getting the support she needs" (um, the entire point of bras). If you can't seem to banish a small bulge, consider shopping for a style with a wider band or scoop-back that can eliminate the problem immediately.
