Never judge a book by its cover – but what about if you take a peak underneath?


Online bra retailer www.oohlalaa.com has created the first ever "You Bra What You Wear" Top 10 – the one-stop guide to discover what the bra says about the woman who wears it.

Which star is your bra most like? Kylie Minogue or Christina Aguilera? Bridget Jones or Catherine Zeta Jones? Are you Pink – or will you be just left red-faced? "If there’s one item of clothing which really defines what a woman is like, then it has to be her underwear," says www.oohlalaa.com founder Elena Souto.

"It doesn’t matter how long we spend on our hair and make-up, or deciding which shoes go best with which top," says Elena. "It’s the underwear we choose to put on – or not, as the case may be – which really gives our true personality away.

"Whether you’re dressing for the office or going out on a big Saturday night, there’s no doubt about it – what you decide to put on first is one of the most important decisions of the day."

The "Bra What You Wear" Top 10 was compiled with the help of visitors the www.oohlalaa.com - the website which specialises in lingerie for the bigger-busted women.

According to the oohlalaa.com survey, the three most popular styles included the two timeless classics – the white bra and the black bra. In third place, in an era when gym membership has never been so fashionable, was the sports bra. Least popular was the "all-in-one bra," which many people presumed had been consigned to the ‘80s-style dustbin, along with shoulder pads and puffball skirts. Unlike the dodo, the all-in-one doesn’t seem extinct just yet.
