Calvin Klein Wide Bra Strap

Women are on the lookout for the Calvin Klein wide bra strap bra for a number of different reasons.

Though Calvin Klein entered the world of fashion design by opening his own business in 1968, Klein did not venture into the underwear business until the 1980's. Klein, already well known for his sexually provocative advertising, particularly one featuring a nearly nude 15 year old Brooke Shields, took that same sexually provocative route for his underwear advertising campaign. The campaign worked as it brought attention, both good and bad, to Klein's line of men and women's undergarments. Many women remain ardent fans of Calvin Klein's underwear and bras.

When Calvin Klein's first line of bras came out, they leaned more toward being pretty rather than being very functional. Many of the bras featured thin straps and were constructed of mainly cotton or super luxurious silk. If you are larger chested, then you know that thin straps just don't work, not to mention painfully dig into your shoulders. Klein soon expanded his line of bras to include those with wide straps and included them in his "Perfectly Fit" line of bras.

The Perfectly Fit wide strap bras have the following features:

• Double lined cups – Double lining the cups offers more support as well as an additional level of comfort.
• More closures – Keeping the larger busted woman in mind, these bras feature a three column hook and eye closure for additional support.
• Full cup – Many of Calvin Klein's other bras feature the smaller demi cup design. The Perfectly Fit wide strap bra series offers a full cup design for better coverage.
• Microfiber construction – The microfiber material of this bra, including the wide straps, is soft, breathable and designed to move with the body.
• Soft edged straps – The wide straps on this bra feature rounded edges for an added level of comfort on the shoulders.

Calvin Klein offers a few other wider strapped bras, with straps that are a bit more narrow than the Perfectly Fit Wide Strap bra, but not quite as narrow as his other lines. Here are a few:

• The Pure Glamour contour bra – The straps on this bra are just a little bit wider than average, the full cups are foam lined and it has a three column hook and eye closure in back.
• The Perfectly Fit Flirty wire-free – This bra offers a bit of shaping along with added support of full cups and wider straps that feature a lace trim.

Oddly enough, the Perfectly Fit series of bras are not offered on Calvin Klein's official website. Thankfully, there are many other stores that offer this comfortable line of bras:

• Essential Apparel
• Bare Necessities
• Twenga
• Fresh Pair
• Amazon

Larger busted and plus sized women know the importance of finding the perfect fitting bra. Once found, it isn't uncommon for more well-endowed women to buy multiple bras of the same style because sometimes, finding a bra that is comfortable, offers support and is actually pretty, is difficult. Many large busted women have resigned themselves to either sacrifice function for fashion or vice-versa. Meaning, the pretty bras are less functional and offer less support while the supportive bras offer support, but let's face it, sometimes they look a bit like you're wearing a harness. Not only does this not look sexy, but it doesn't feel sexy either.

Women who have purchased the Calvin Klein wide bra strap bras have been extremely happy with the fit and comfort level and have purchased a number of the Calvin Klein Perfectly Fit wide strap bra in different colors. Depending on your budget, these bras can be a little bit pricey (generally starting at around $30 and going upwards from there), but judging from other women who have purchased and reviewed them, they are so worth the price.
