Yep-trying out different styles is a HUGE thing. I have found that for me personally, underwire are the best fitting over soft cup. Even if I am wearing the correct size, I just don't get the lift and support that I like in soft cup. I also prefer and look/fit better in bras that have 3-4 hook and eyes in the back, instead of 2. I also like the nonstretch straps.
I have been able to find colorful bras, too in these styles-not just white and beige. I have black, black/pink, and some other color combinations.
