SUMMER STYLE TIPS TO KEEP YOU COOL !!

Summer can be a challenging season to dress for many women. You reveal more about yourself and your body than in any other season and have fewer layering tricks at your disposal to either cover up certain parts or create a nice silhouette.  It’s also harder to create a ‘new’ look every day, since you can’t really play too much with jackets, layers and scarves. In summer you need to be even smarter with the types of clothes you choose when you want to cover up certain areas. I personally don’t believe in using shape wear too much as it’s far too hot and uncomfortable. Instead choose smart tops, skirts and dresses that drape in all the right areas to cover up any bulges. Asymmetric dresses and tops are usually very good at doing that. White is your best friend in summer and is the most versatile colour to wear. Combine with almost every colour and pattern in your closet for a clean, modern look. Bodybasics offers you a wide range of comfort clothes to beat the heat this summer.

Since the temperatures are soaring in every part of our country this summer, let us check some tips for dressing for this season.

Keep your clothes loose.  The looser, the better. The less fabric you have actually touching your body, the cooler you will be. Believe it or not, a loose & flowing dress will keep you cooler than a pair of shorts & a skin tight tank.

Avoid flimsy fabrics if you don't want your clothes to stick to your body. Lightweight fabrics are great for hot weather, but they need to have a little structure so that they don't just cling to your body the second you start to sweat.

Choose clothes in natural fabrics. Cotton, for instance, is much more breathable than polyester or rayon. It's also better at absorbing sweat and dries faster, which means you won't feel sweaty as long as you would if your clothes were made of synthetic fabric.

Stick to light colours. Dark colours absorb light and make you that much hotter while light colours reflect light and help keep you cool. So go for light colours.

Make sure your clothes are fresh and clean. Never rewear your clothes between washes during summers as even light wear leaves dirt, sweat, skin cells etc trapped in the fibers of your clothes, which makes them less breathable and you hotter.

Whenever you go out wear a wide-brimmed hat or carry a lightweight, woven scarf in your bag. Drape the scarf over your shoulders or head whenever you go out in the sun, it definitely protects you from the scorching sun.

Keep your hair off your neck. A small cotton scarf is great for absorbing sweat, use it to tie your hair up. For an extra cooling effect, soak it in some cold water before you put it on.

Sit back and have fun with friends and family. That is what summer is all about. Shop online at www.bodybasics.in

ENHANCE YOUR LOOK WITH A PADDED BRA !!

Bras have turned into a multi-billion dollar industry, with padded bras being a very popular item for women to wear for everything from daily use, to a night out, or even to the gym. A padded bra is a bra whose cups contain padding, or pockets for padding. The padding inside the bra cups is intended to add fullness to the bust line, and enhance the appearance of your bust. Padded bras can make your breasts look larger, and they can help make breast tissue appear fuller and firmer.

Padded bras are designed to enhance perceived bust size and cleavage. The lining of the cups is thickened and enhanced with shape-enhancing inserts or foam padding inside the entire lining of cup. Padded bras support the breasts but, unlike push-up bras are not intended to significantly increase cleavage.

Do you want your breasts to look fuller or more lush? Want to increase your breast size? Want a bra that can help you compensate for uneven or disproportional breasts? Padded bras are great for women who want to enhance the look of their busts and tweak the way their clothes fit. Many women use padded bras to compensate for uneven or disproportional breasts. However most women choose to wear padded bra to enhance bust size and cleavage. Padded bras typically come in with padding sewn into the cups of the bras. Things to consider when buying a padded bra include the advantages it gives, how it is designed, and the benefits the user will gain from wearing one.

·  Women who want to enhance the look of their busts.

·  Women who want to make their breasts look larger.

· Women who have looser breast tissue and want a more full, rounded, firm look.

·  Women who are compensating for a slight unevenness between breasts.

·  Women who have sensitive breast tissue and find the padding more comfortable.

·  Women who have had a mastectomy and want a more lush, rounded look for their breasts. Masectomy bra comes with padding pockets to compensate for disproportional breasts. With padding pockets you can customize the difference and make the breasts look proportional and natural.

KNOW MORE ABOUT MEN'S SUPPORTERS !!

Here's an interesting fact. The first jockstrap was invented over 125 years ago. Since then, many support garments have arrived in the market. Choosing a supportive garment that is right for you depends on the sport you're playing and how much protection you want. 

The goal of an athletic supporter is to lift, support, and cradle a man's testes/scrotum against his body. A man's "jewels" hang in place with delicate cord and muscle tissues. Shock or strain on these cords and muscles can result in injury. 

If you're playing high impact sports like football, hockey, soccer, rugby, baseball etc, supporters with hard cups are highly recommended. Basically, any sport where a speeding projectile is involved, you should wear a hard cup. Supporters should be worn (without cups) for any sport requiring running such as track and field, basketball, and rollerblading. Supporters mainly confine the genitals, keeping them out of harm's way. We've all seen grown men reduced to a semi-fetal position after a hit to the groin without any protection. The recovery from such a blow is very slow and agonizing. Remember this next time you think you can do without. 

Remember, layering is key to support. Many athletes choose to wear more than one pair of underwear at the same time to provide the needed support. It really depends on how much protection and support you're looking for, and what you are comfortable wearing. A good supporter must function almost as an integral part of your body if it is going to be comfortable and effective. When choosing a supporter, keep in mind that the sizing does not relate to the cup size - only the waistband size. The waistband should fit the contours of your body for natural support. Generally, a waistband on a supporter will be wider than the average waistband on briefs, offering greater support. 

At what age should you start wearing a supporter ? A boy involved in any sport that has the potential to cause injury to the genitals should be protected - regardless of age. Shop online for supporters at www.bodybasics.in

MULTIWAY BRA – A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY WOMAN'S LINGERIE COLLECTION !!

Multiway bras, as the name suggests, allows you to change the position of the straps to suit different outfits, including strapless , halterneck, racer back, one shouldered, cross back or even the conventional style. Hence it is also known as “Convertible bras”. The Multiway bra provides support as well as comfort and is a must have for every women’s lingerie collection. Infact a convertible bra is an ideal investment and a perfect bra for every occassion.

Multiway bras have straps that come off and have hooks so you can reattach them in different ways to wear with clothes where the straps of a standard bra would show. What strap configurations it can do will depend on which one you get, so check before you buy. The straps will have hooks at each end and there will be lots of slots that they can hook into on the bra. Sometimes they don’t say all of the possible options on the tag so look for where the slots are to figure out which ones it can do. Shop online for multi-way, backless and strapless bras for versatile styles that will work with plunging necklines and backless outfits. Our great range of strapless bras and multiway bras will look amazing with any style of top or dress. So go ahead and discover the multiway bra with its innovative styles and great cuts from various brands at www.bodybasics.in

While buying it remember that every convertible bra should be able to do a classic bra shape, halter neck and crossover back. Not all can go strapless or low back. To make it  strapless it will need to have cups that aren’t peaked at the top and are firm so they can stay up without the straps. For many women, the thought of wearing a multi-way bra strikes fear into their hearts – after all, without those supportive straps in place, what’s going to be holding your bust in place? However, multiway bras are an essential part of any woman’s lingerie wardrobe, so have no fear.The support in a good bra should predominantly come from the underband, not from the straps. The straps are in place to balance your bust and help keep the bra as a whole in place; support for your breasts actually comes from a well-fitting underband. The most important thing is to make sure you’re wearing the correct size bra. In case of any doubts, consult a fit expert to ensure that you buy the correct size and style to meet your requirement. So go ahead and wear those outfits which were cornered in your wardrobe for want of a proper bra. Feel comfortable going strapless or simply remove one strap from your multiway bra and voila, you’re all set for the occasion.

BUY MEN'S TRUNKS ONLINE !!

All men, regardless of age, occupation or lifestyle, deserve great underwear. That is, underwear that both feels and looks better than just good. Buying underwear used to be a relatively simple matter that any guy could master by answering one question: trunks or briefs? Now, with literally hundreds of styles to choose from, each with its specific attributes, fabrics and designs, knowing what’s right for you seems like it could require a team of researchers. There are more men’s underwear styles today than ever before. The types of underwear for men, in fact, are so varied that you could wear a different cut of underwear each day of the week for months. Here we will focus on one particular style of underwear – TRUNKS. Bodybasics.in offers a wide range of trunks from premium brands. Check out which one suits your need the most.

A trunk cut is a hybrid of a brief and boxer brief without the heap of fabric. In other words, they're boxer briefs with short legs and a square cut appearance. If you like briefs but want to try something a little different, you should try trunks. Trunks cover up to half the thigh, which helps protect from chafing against coarse materials (like raw denim) or during workouts. Often, boxer-briefs come in a mid-rise fit, which means they arrive at just above the hip bones. They provide the same support as a brief, and also offer complete coverage in the front and back. The boxer briefs are perhaps the most popular model of underwear as they are more comfortable than other style.

So now that we all agree, the challenge is to find you just the right pair. There are a lot of different styles of trunks which vary in their looks and degrees of premiumness — and each has its own place in a man's wardrobe. Trunks, unlike boxer shorts, should be snug. If you’re usually between two sizes, always go for the smaller one when buying them. Beyond being a practical necessity, slipping on a decent pair of trunk in the morning is one of the most important part of starting a new day. Think of a good, clean, well-fitted pair of trunk as a psychological advantage. Sure, some guys will argue that the state of your underwear doesn't really matter. Nobody's going to see it, they'll tell you. But remember the golden rule is that good underwear is the foundation of any good outfit, and this is where you should build from, as it will really give you a daily shot of confidence. So go ahead and log onto www.bodybasics.in to explore a comprehensive collection of men’s trunks.

GLAM UP, SLIM DOWN WITH THE PERFECT SHAPEWEAR !!

Shapewear or Shaping underwear is a woman's tight-fitting underwear intended to control and shape the figure. It is also known as the foundation garment which is an undergarment designed to temporarily alter the wearer's body shape, to achieve a more fashionable figure. The function of a foundation garment is not to enhance a bodily feature but to smooth or control the display of one.

Getting a flat stomach is hard, but many women feel constant pressure to have washboard abs. If you've ever sucked in your stomach, you know that posture and breathing can affect how big your stomach looks. Shapewear mimics the effect of sucking in your stomach by slightly flattening the area, but without the stress of constantly remembering to stay sucked in. Shapewear won't permanently flatten your stomach, but it does the same temporarily. It is a type of compression garment, which means that it works by pushing fat in and compressing your entire stomach area. This can temporarily shave a few inches off your stomach and waist. Shapewear won't work miracles, though. If you have a lot of fat on your stomach, your stomach may look smaller in shapewear, but it won't necessarily look flat. Even very tight shapewear will usually make you look no smaller than when you're sucking in your stomach.

For maximum benefit, shapewear should fit snugly against your body but should not dig into your skin or hurt. Choose breathable fabrics to prevent sweat from getting trapped against your skin. If you feel dizzy, notice that breathing is more difficult, find yourself excessively sweating or experience discomfort or tingling around or under the shapewear, stop wearing it immediately. Good shapewear should not hurt or interfere with your ability to do your usual daily tasks.

In recent years sales of shapewear have increased considerably. Women have worn foundation garments, such as corsets and brassieres, for a very long time. Some have been essential to the fashion trends of the time. Others have been born out of the need for women to feel more secure. Better known today as “shapewear,” these garments include body briefs, bodysuits, control briefs, corsets, tummy reducer, slimmer etc .A shapewear may be worn for a specific outfit. Being an underwear, the shapewear should not be visible under the outerwear, unless the exposure is intended. A general purpose "all the way" shaper with clear straps that starts at the bust and ends at the knee or mid-calf is also available. Shapewear may come with a built in strapless bra for dresses and halters and are made in a range of different styles colours. Shop for different styles of branded shapewear at www.bodybasics.in and get a hour glass figure this festive season.

5 MUST HAVE BRAS IN EVERY WOMAN'S LINGERIE WARDROBE !!

Have you ever bought a last-minute outfit on the day of a big soiree only to discover that you don’t have the right bra? Every one of us, at one time or another has not had that “right” piece of lingerie just when we need it. Here we suggest you 5 must have bras which one should have to create a perfect lingerie wardrobe.

Multiway or Convertible Bra: 

A convertible bra has modifiable straps that can be transformed into a halter, racer-back, one-shoulder, or strapless style. A convertible bra is a great versatile bra, and handy to have in case you need a quick solution without time to go shopping.

Push-Up Bra:

A push-up bra is designed with additional padding at the bottom portion of the cup, which lifts the breasts to give the illusion of a fuller bust-line. This type of bra comes in handy when an outfit calls for a more filled-out look. It is most frequently used with eveningwear. 

T-shirt Bra:

Contour bras have cups that maintain a breast shape whether on or off. This is achieved by having the cup moulded out of a thin foam. Besides giving your breast a great pre-determined shape, a contour bra totally eliminates any nipple show-through. If you are modesty conscious, a contour or T-shirt bra is a great answer for you.

Sports Bra:

Sports bra is a woman’s best friend. It takes to all shapes and perfectly adapts to all kinds of women’s curves. Failing to wear a supportive and properly fitting sports bra during exercise can lead to permanent breast damage whether you’ve experienced pain or not, and even if your breasts are very small. Ideally a sports bra should be made of a fabric that wicks away moisture. . Manufacturers often categorize their sports-bra line by the level of impact and exercise intensity.

Plunge Bra:

Plunge bras are designed so you can wear low cut clothes without your bra showing. The cups join together low between the breasts, with a thin centre piece. Usually the shoulder straps are wide, so you can wear any necklines that are widely cut as well as low.

Now that you have an idea of the must have bras, check out the various options available online at www.bodybasics.in. Get ready and look elegant at the much awaited big soiree.

KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BALCONETTE BRA !!

There are dozens of different styles of bras that serve different purposes. None is more versatile than the balconette-style bra, and this is why many women choose this type of bra to wear on a regular basis. The balconette-style bra is flattering and can be worn by all types of women. The style of the balconette bra is similar to demi-cup and half-cup bras which is why some shoppers may have trouble telling the difference. Let’s get into the details of the what exactly is a balconette bra, its benefits and when to wear a balconette-style bra.

The balconette-style bra is also commonly known as the balcony bra. This type of bra offers less coverage than the full-cup bra and even the demi-cup bra. The balconette bra is shaped in a way that provides a full and round appearance to the breasts. Sometimes known as a shelf bra. Lifts the breasts to enhance their appearance, shape, and cleavage. More revealing version of a demi-bra, offering little to no coverage. The balconette bra offers less coverage which means that the support has to come from the bottom. In order to provide support, most balconette bras have an underwire. Without the underwire, the bra would not be able to support medium to large-sized breasts. Additional support comes from its wide band. The cups of a balconette-style bra are cut in a way that reveal more of the top and inner parts of the breasts. The straps are also set wider so that more of the chest and shoulder area is exposed. Many balconette bras have padding to help lift the breasts.

The balconette bra has several benefits which is why many women have at least one balconette bra in their wardrobe. These benefits range from its versatility to how the breasts appear in the bra. The strong support from the bottom of the bra creates an upward push that enhances the appearance of the cleavage. Breasts appear fuller and rounder. Because the balconette-style bra is supportive, visually appealing, and enhances the appearance of the breasts, it can be worn with just about any outfit. Usually women have to choose whether they want to wear a sexy bra or they want the added support. With a balconette-style bra, women can have both. Because balconette-style bras provide a minimal amount of coverage, they can be worn with tops that have a very low-cut neckline. Some support is lost due to the reduced coverage, but not enough to make a difference for most everyday purposes. Since a good amount of support is coming from the bottom and the band, the balconette-style bra can be worn for all occasions and with all outfits. The only limitation would be during times of physical activity when additional support is necessary. Shop online for all styles of bra at www.bodybasics.in

WINTERS ARE ROUND THE CORNER ....BUY THERMAL WEAR ONLINE !!

As the season of cold wave can be felt around, people start searching for trendy and funky winter wear. It is very much important to secure the body from extreme cold temperature in this season. Thermal wear adds a great charm to the wardrobe with superb style and elegance. Gone are those days when thermal wear was rough, bulky and unattractive. Today, you have funky and stylish choices that keep the body warm in a stylish way.

Choosing the right kind of thermal wear is important, and factors like material type, quality, size, and style are quite important. Not only conventional market, but shopping websites also get flooded with loads of varieties. At times, it is difficult to pick up the best thermal wear online.

What is a thermal wear?

Thermal wear is a double-layered fabric with the outer layer made from synthetic fiber, wool or cotton, and an inner layer is brushed soft cotton. It has excellent absorbing capacity and a soothing soft touch. It is available in multiple styles, patterns and sizes for both sexes. It is machine and hand washable.

What are different types of thermal wear?

Well, it is quite difficult to narrow down the search when you buy thermal wear. You come across a lot of varieties with a wide variation in prices. People get confuse with the diversity and unable to decide what to buy? In fact, there are three types of fabrics:

1. Synthetic: The base layer winter wear made from synthetic fibers like Lycra, Spandex, Nylon, and Polyester are considered the best. It brings the perfect balance of heat and moisture forming the perfect base layer near the skin. It is stretchable, durable and immensely comfortable.

2. Wool: Next to the synthetic fabric, wool is another great choice for thermal wear. It has a great capacity of retaining moisture and heat making it the right choice for base layering. Good heat retaining capacity makes it an ideal choice for military, hunters or those who need to live in extreme cold conditions.

3. Cotton: This is perhaps the most common (and most reasonably priced) thermal wear. It retains moisture well but offers poor insulation against the cold. However, it is good for moderate temperatures and sunny weather. Also, when the weather is not windy or you are not much active it offers quite effective cushioning. In extreme weather conditions, cotton thermal wear is totally ineffective. Since it is available in large quantities and varieties, people prefer it for moderate winters.

Shopping thermal wear online is a pleasure. Bodybasics offers a big range of thermal wear suiting the style and functional requirements. It is a convenient and fast way of shopping. It is possible to narrow down the search by defining filters on product type, price, brand, and size. Look at the products display and add the selected ones to the shopping cart.

WEARING A SPORTS BRA: IS IT IMPORTANT ?

We're all about saving money when it comes to our workout clothes. You may have spent a fortune on gym membership and invested in a great new kit. But it's more than likely that you're missing the most vital piece of exercise equipment of all - a sports bra. An alarming 56% of women face breast pain when exercising, yet many ladies are not wearing the most supportive sports bras which are now available to exercise in. Have a look at the wide range of sports bra to suit different body types at www.bodybasics.in

Not wearing a sports bra is actually a common occurrence, especially in smaller-chested women who don't think they need the flattening or sometimes uncomfortable support that sports bras provide. While others think a built-in shelf bra is enough for any workout, the truth is that the right support is essential during a workout, especially a high-impact one. A huge number of women are experiencing some breast injury from tissue moving up and down or in and out during exercise. That's because lack of breast support can lead to back pain and discomfort — including tissue damage that over time can cause stretch marks and sagging. And before you think that your B-cups have blessed you with the ability to skip the bra, think again. Even the smallest sizes can experience permanent damage to connective tissue over time if you neglect to give them the right support. Since breast tissue moves in a figure-eight pattern when you run, walk, or jump, using a bra with cups will support you better. And while it may seem like one more exercise-related expense to invest in a few high-quality sports bras for your workout routine, it's worth it to make sure you stay feeling your best during and after every sweat session. When choosing a sports bra make sure to consider whether you are going to be doing high or low impact exercise as there are different bras to suit each of these. It is also important that you get the right fit. Choosing the right bra will depend on your cup size, preference and activity level.

No matter what type of exercise you do, buying a good quality sports bra is the same as buying good quality sneakers, it will support your body and enhance your workout routine. Shop online for a wide range of sports bra from premium brands at www.bodybasics.in

BUY MEN'S VESTS ONLINE

Men’s vests or undershirts have seen a remarkable evolution in the 19th and 20th century and have become much more elaborate with time. The basic purpose of an undershirt or vest is to absorb sweat. It’s there to provide a defensive layer between your body and your more expensive clothing. A good vest or undershirt can also provide insulation when needed, and some are worn to “compress” the figure in a slimming attempt. The easiest way to explain men’s vests is to say that it’s pretty much a basic necessity that keeps the rest of the clothes from getting gross. Men’s vests are available in different styles depending on the variation in climate and the clothing worn. A thick, knit vest with long sleeves can be worn in winter, but the same wearer might want a short-sleeved variety with a deep V-neck or scoop neck in the summer.

Today's modern men hate making compromises, especially when it comes to men's innerwear. The main criteria that they look at while buying innerwear are style, comfort and of course durability or value for money. These days high quality innerwear is an integral part of men's lifestyle. Bodybasics.in offers a wide range of men's vests online from premium brands like Jockey, United Colours of Benetton, Chromozome, Macroman, Levi’s and many more under one roof. They are available in different colours, fabrics, styles, sleeveless or half sleeved and also in a variety of neck styles like round, square and V-neck to suit your taste and style. Apart from this, vests come with various stylistic features like ribbed body, armhole, contrast panel detailing etc. Choose the one that best suits your need and comfort level. You can even wear one while you are jogging or working out in a gym. You can also opt for a single piece pack or a pack with multiple vests to save money. Some vests are as plain and utilitarian as you can get, while others are stylishly designed for visible wear, especially when worn in the gym or for any sporting activity. But at the end of the day, they’re all there for the same reason: your body eventually makes the clothes it’s touching pretty gross, and an undershirt or vest is a lot cheaper to wash and eventually replace than your nice clothes. The best undershirt is one that does everything you want it to. What that might be depends on your needs and your tastes. You can either buy 100% cotton vests or can go for cotton mixed with other materials such as lycra.

A brassiere or bra as it is commonly called, is a woman's undergarment that supports her breasts. Bras are typically form-fitting and perform a variety of functions; not only do women usually wear them to support their breasts, but they have also evolved into a fashion item. Changing social trends and novel materials have increased the variety and complexity of available designs as well as allowed manufacturers to make bras that in some instances are more fashionable than functional. Some garments, such as  swimsuits, camisoles, tank tops and backless dresses, have built-in breast support, eliminating the need to wear a separate bra. The bra has become a feminine icon or symbol with cultural significance beyond its primary function of supporting breasts. Bras are worn for many reasons – among them are comfort, appearance, or to conform to social expectations. Some bras are designed to enhance the size of breasts, while others are designed for comfort. Some bras are constructed to provide support for women athletes which normally do not have fasteners and are pulled on over the head and breasts, while some bras are designed for nursing. You can buy bra online at www.bodybasics.in and check out our exclusive collection of bra, to suit your requirement and match your body structure. 

Bras are one of the most complex pieces of apparel. There is an increasingly wide range of brassiere styles available, designed to match different body types, situations, and outer wear. The degree of shaping and coverage of the breasts varies between styles, as do functionality, fashion, fit, fabric, and colour. Common types include padded, non-padded, wired, non-wired, backless, balconette, convertible or multi way bras, full cup, demi-cup, minimizers, plunge, push-up, racer back, T-shirt,  soft cup, sports bra etc. If you want to downplay a heavier top, we suggest   you to go for minimizer bras. For sagging  breasts, push up or underwired bras with a good support are normally recommended. Many designs combine one or more of these styles. Showing the bra-straps, has become a fashion statement these days. It is increasingly common to see women wearing clothing that purposefully exposes a portion of their bra or bra straps. 

A well fitted bra is a women’s best friend as it boosts her confidence, enhances her beauty, provides great shape and adds colour to her life. At Body Basics, we understand this and cater to a wide range of bras to enable you to pick the one that makes you feel confident and beautiful.  You can choose from an array of colours to suit your mood and your outfit.  Whether you need a bra to wear with a strapless gown or require one to provide a seamless fit, just logon to www.bodybasics.in and buy bra online with just the click of a button.
