BERLEI have discontinued the Serena Shift Underwire YYRK sports bra and replaced it with the Shift Non-Padded Sports Bra YWJX and there are quite a few changes.
My advice to you if you're a fan of the Serena, treat the new style like it's a new bra from a different brand.
Here are the main differences:
- The mesh fabric used for the front and side panels has gone from two to one layer and it's not as thick
- Band is not as wide, in fact its decreased in size by half
- Front is more 'V' shaped (non contoured) compared to the older style which had more of a 'U' shape (contoured)
- They've removed their branding from the front of the bra
- Trims are now Black, they were previously a Grey/Blue
New Berlei Shift Non-Padded Sports Bra (YWJX):
Old Serena Berlei Shift (YYRK):
What's the same?
- Cup design and cotton lining and still un-padded
- Straps are still wide and adjustable
- Still designed to be a high impact sports bra
- Sizing: Bands: 10 - 20 & Cups: C, D, DD, E, F (does not come in a 20F)
I still have some sizes in the Serena Shift style, so if you're a big fan you'd better grab one now before they are dissappear!
