This is a great alternative to a black bra for those of us who prefer color. The classic triangle cups are comfy and flattering. They provide just a tiny bit of subtle lift. I actually bought this and the matching panties to use as a natural swimwear alternative. I haven't worn it in a chlorinated pool (yet) because I suspect that will make the beautiful color fade a little since it wasn't actually designed for that. But it's a perfect plastic-free option for wearing in steam rooms and saunas. The dark color ensures it doesn't become see-through when wet, and the triangle shape makes it look like swimwear.
