Guide to Knix Bra Styles, Sizing and Fit
Notes on Fit and Breast Shape
Shallow vs. Projected: Shallow breasts have less forward projection and a wider base, needing wider, less deep cups. Projected breasts extend farther out, requiring deeper cups with immediate projection at the wire. Wacoal’s “Shape Revelation” collection targets specific shapes (e.g., shallow top/full bottom), aiding identification.
Wide vs. Narrow Roots: Wide roots span a broader chest area, needing wider wires; narrow roots are more compact, needing narrower wires. Wacoal’s fit guides and user feedback help determine wire width suitability.
Knix bras are predominantly wireless, using bonding technology, buttery-soft fabrics, and innovative support systems for seamless, comfortable wear. Knix bras generally feature wide roots (extra side coverage/"wings" to prevent spillage, wide-set design) and are best for shallow to moderate projection (molded or seamless cups often lack immediate depth, leading to issues for highly projected shapes like bottom wrinkling or tissue pushing up/center). They excel for wide-rooted, shallower breasts needing everyday comfort or low-medium support, but may not provide enough encapsulation/lift for very projected or narrow-rooted busts.
Knix Sizing System vs. Traditional Bra Sizing
Knix previously used a proprietary numbered system (sizes 1-8 with +, ++ variants for larger cups, e.g., 6++ fitting approx. 32G-H equivalents) that mapped multiple traditional sizes into one for simplicity. In 2024, Knix transitioned to traditional US bra sizing (band 28-48, cups A-H) for most styles, especially the relaunched WingWoman Contour Bra (now in 99 sizes). This change uses direct measurements: snug underbust for band, bust difference for cup.

Notes on Fit Characteristics:
- Wide vs. Narrow Roots: Wide side panels and cups suit wide roots well; narrow roots may experience wires/cups extending too far.
- Shallow vs. Projected: Shallower cups common; great for shallow shapes, but projected breasts often report poor depth/support.
- Many styles mold/stretch initially tight for custom fit; wireless focus prioritizes comfort over structured lift.
