The way the bra is fastened divides the camps, as does the question of whether the tea bag or hot water should be in the cup first or whether the muesli should be in the bowl before the milk. Because there are different methods when putting it on: Some women close the bra in front and then turn it, others hook it behind their back. Still others buy a front-fastening model from the start, and some even pull the bra over the head with the fastening on. Very comfortable straps: on the inside choose the practical sports bra - which does not require any fasteners at all.
And these different methods and approaches should say more about our character than we suspect. In a "Redbook" article, body language expert Patti Wood distinguishes four different personality types based on the closure method: Driver, Influencer, Reliable, and Analyst. The communication luminary uses these four types to explain why putting on our bra reveals so much about our character. Do you recognize yourself?
What putting on a bra reveals about you: The 4 personality types No discussions: The front closure
Are you one of those people who don't even bother with the question of how to fasten their bra, but instead buy the practical front fastener directly? Then you are a driver. They have no time to waste, so they're not at all keen on fiddling with bra clasps.
When shopping, you usually choose high-quality clothing that lasts a long time and is easy to combine. You make important decisions – in the changing room just like in the rest of life – pragmatically and smartly. As a driver, you research everything very thoroughly and usually act accordingly self-confident. That's why you're a born leader and have no problem getting in the way.
PersonalityThis is what your favorite pieces of jewelery reveal about your character A bit of a diva: close & twist at the front
Are you wearing a bra with a classic back closure, but you hook it up at the front and then turn it backwards? They are influencers at heart. Stand out a bit? With pleasure! Because you love to be the center of attention and attract everyone's attention. Of course, the important thing is that everything is perfect. And that also applies to the bra - that's why you make sure with your fastening technology that all the hooks really sit properly.
They value good style, know the latest trends and are always up to date, not only when it comes to choosing a bra. If you are satisfied with your fashion yield, you will of course reward it with a mention on your social media channels.
Cheers to tradition: Close on the back
As the reliable one, you like to stick to the tried and tested. Your bra has a clasp on the back – of course you clasp it there too! Your mother or someone you trust showed you the best way to put on a bra when you were young, and you've stuck to it to this day.
You enjoy being around people and are always available to give advice and support to your family and friends. This makes you a beloved person who is relaxed and cheerful in most situations. As long as there are no drastic changes, at least, because you don't particularly like them.
Better to be inconspicuous: closed and pull over the head
You clasp your bra once (exactly so that it fits perfectly) and then just pull it on and off over your head. You are the analyst. Alternatively, you can also choose a sports bra or a bralette that doesn't even bother you with the issue of a fastener. You don't like to deal with such things and you don't want to attract attention. That's why you prefer to have an exact plan that gives you a lot of control and as little leeway as possible for the unforeseen.
You proceed accordingly analytically with other clothing questions: you think carefully about what you need and when (preferably in an Excel spreadsheet) and really only buy it then. Anything else would go against your logical mind too much.
