![]() Little touches, like a soft backing on the hook and eye fastening, make all the difference and highlight the brand’s attention to detail. Thanks to the softness of the fabric and minimal seams, there was no niggling, nor were there marks left on the skin when we took them off. How comfortable is it?īoth the Skims Fits Everybody Crossover Bralette and the Fits Everybody Triangle Bralette are seriously comfortable. If you’ve been blessed with a bigger bust, they would be better used as a lounge or sleep bra. If you have a smaller chest, then either of these bralettes will provide enough support for all-day wear. The shoulder straps are adjustable, and there’s a choice of three hook and eye fastenings on the bank band, letting you easily alter the fit. The inner lining is made from a soft mesh, which has slightly less give than the outer fabric and helps to hold your breasts in place. But, if what you’re after is gentle support that won’t leave welts in your shoulders by 5pm, then these may well be the bralettes for you.Īs the straps and underband are relatively narrow and the design is free from wires, the bulk of the support comes from the super stretchy fabric and the double-layered cups. If you’re looking for a bra that’s going to lift your bust right up and hold it firmly in place all day, then this isn't it. The cut of the fabric is generous at the sides on both, and the cross-over front on the crossover style stops you from spilling out. As there isn’t any padding, the outline of your nipples may be visible through lighter T-shirts or tops-worth considering if you’re self-conscious about that kind of thing.įor a triangle-shaped bra, both offer a good amount of coverage. Kimbra's willingness to shake things up is one of her greatest strengths, and by going to extremes on A Reckoning, she delivers some of her most daring and thoughtful music.The minimal seams create clean lines beneath clothes and sit discreetly beneath even form-fitting pieces. "New Habit" is ostensibly about meeting and obsessing over someone new, but its taut rhyme scheme and surging choruses feel like shedding a skin. It's no coincidence that one of the sexiest-sounding songs, "Personal Space," is about taking time for herself. As heartbroken and fed up as she is on much of A Reckoning, Kimbra still makes room for playful songs and sounds. Even better is "I Don't Want to Fight," where she keeps her words and vocals hauntingly simple. "Foolish Thinking," a duet with Son Lux's Ryan Lott, is a tender meditation on how pain can lead to growth. When she returns to introspection as the album winds down, it showcases the growing maturity of her songwriting. Kimbra's use of hip-hop and electronic music on A Reckoning fortifies her resilience: she mixes teeth-rattling beats and slinky keys on "Replay"'s recriminations, and grounds "GLT"'s alluring kiss-offs with a massive bass and bars from Erick the Architect. Even when she indulges in crate-digging mashups like those on The Golden Echo and Primal Heart, the feeling that she's done putting up with nonsense remains on "LA Type," a funky skewering of West Coast fakeness that features Tommy Raps and Pink Siifu backing her up. ![]() The droning and chiming electronics that drive the introspective opening track "Save Me" have more in common with Homogenic or Kid A than most of Kimbra's own discography, while "Gun"'s explosive outbursts make it clear that she's ready to rip it up and start again. ![]() As she views the turbulence of the early 2020s through a personal lens, questioning relationships, identity, and the world at large, she creates moods that are distinctly different from any of her previous work. Even though Kimbra fans know to expect the unexpected, A Reckoning proves she can still surprise. ![]()
