Why the Etalon Posture Bra Is Ideal for Office Wear

Struggling to balance at-home comfort with in-office style? While workwear has evolved beyond pencil skirts, power suits, and pumps, heading to the office in sweats is still a no-no. The importance of “looking professional” is a concept that’s embedded deep into our psyches — and it’s not just for the benefit of other people. 

Take one study, which coined the term “enclothed cognition,” meaning what you wear can impact how you think of yourself. Each participant of the study wore the same type of white coat. However, those who wore what was dubbed a “doctor’s lab coat” showed better sustained attention versus those who wore a “painter’s coat.” The perception that a doctor must be more attentive led participants in the “doctor’s lab coat” to subconsciously take on that role (1). In other words, you are what you wear.

So, if you’re experiencing some imposter syndrome or need a boost of confidence at the office, it helps to look the part. Dressing professionally and presenting yourself with good posture are sure signs of success. Pairing your office wear with a sleek posture bra can help you stay focused, alert, and upright, especially if your work requires long hours at a desk. 

Here are more reasons why the Etalon Posture Bra is ideal for the office and how to wear it best.

Key Features of the Etalon Posture Bra for Office Wear 

It was at the office where Etalon founder Kristina got the idea to design a modern posture bra. Her goal was to combine function and fashion to help with an all-too-common problem for the office worker: slouching. 

The ergonomic design of the Etalon Posture Bra includes an advanced support structure and adjustable straps that allow for customization depending on your current comfort and support needs. When it comes to a posture bra for office wear, Etalon is also sleek and understated enough to reflect your professional style.

Advanced Support for Long Office Hours 

The Etalon bra has a sturdy support structure that’s designed to keep the breasts in place while drawing your shoulder blades closer together and opening up your chest. Once you’ve slipped the posture bra on and zipped it up, you’ll feel a gentle tug at the back of the shoulders, preventing you from slouching. 

Breathable and Comfortable Design 

Beyond offering a device that promotes good posture, we wanted to make sure it was also something you’d want to wear for hours at a time. Here are the main features of the Etalon Posture Bra that promote both comfort and functionality:

• A sturdy underband to help provide support and keep the breasts in place
• Wide straps to distribute weight evenly and prevent skin indentations (see: bra strap syndrome)
• Adjustable straps to fit the bra to your comfort
• Multiple settings to customize the bra’s support and amount of posture-promoting “pull” it provides 
• Made of 81% recycled polyester and 19% spandex that is antimicrobial, soft, cooling, and chafing-free

For maximum comfort and support, be sure to know how to properly fit the posture bra. 

Sleek Look That Fits Under Office Attire 

With a redesign that includes lighter fabric and less cushioning, the Etalon Posture Bra 2.0 is even sleeker than the original. You can also choose whether you want to add cups, which can help give a smoother look around the breasts.

Now available in black or white, Etalon fits well under most office attire. We like to pair it with a button-down top and blazer.

Health Benefits of Wearing a Posture Bra in the Office 

If you’re desk-bound for much of your workday, wearing a comfortable, effective posture bra through those long hours can help keep you upright. Maintaining good posture while you work comes with its own benefits and a posture bra like Etalon can help:

• Reduce slouching
• Build muscle memory in the upper back to help you maintain proper posture
• Ease neck and back pain caused by poor posture
• Relieve tightness in the chest
• Increase productivity

Wearing a posture bra in the office can even impact your career success. Good posture conveys confidence, engagement, and satisfaction — to your boss, colleagues, and yourself.

Why the Etalon Posture Bra Is the Best Bra for Office Wear 

When at the office, a proper sitting posture involves keeping your:

• Eyes at screen level
• Ears in line with your shoulders
• Chin parallel to the ground
• Shoulders down
• Hips evenly aligned
• Feet flat on the floor

While you may strive to be conscious of this position, it won’t always come so naturally, especially over a long day at your desk. Wearing the Etalon Posture Bra, even for just a few hours at a time, will help you maintain good posture, build muscle memory in the upper back, and work with confidence throughout the day. 

But don’t just take our word for it …
