Comfortable, non-wired, non-padded alternative to a traditional bra, the bralette, or bralet, has made a comeback partly because of the trend for wearing athleisure wear when a structured bra doesn’t seem appropriate.

we all know, if you want a more comfortable option, but you don’t want to forgo bra wearing altogether, then a bralette could definitely hold the answer. Particularly as you may be at home much more often at the moment, a bralette could help you feel more comfortable in your loungewear rather than the underwired bra you might usually wear Monday to Friday. The best bralettes have also been seen worn as a top for those feeling confident enough. They’re generally lacy and pretty enough to leave a little your bralette on show.

If you haven’t jumped on the hype yet, bralettes forgo the wires and thick padding of your usual bra in favour of unlined. Laidback styles that are as trendy as they are comfy.

Once you have found your perfect bralettes, they’re a lot easier to wear than a normal bra, and can even be adapted into your wardrobe.

Below are 4 Standard Bralettes for all Shapes:

Gap Seamless Ribbed Bralettes

Gap’s power lies in the wardrobe staples like this seamless bralette. While this kind of design often ends up feeling too tight, it felt gentle on the skin and didn’t cause any awkward chafing. It’s only available in four sizes, so there isn’t much variety, but we found that there was plenty of leeway with each option. Like any seamless bra, you can’t expect too much support but it provides enough to get you through light activity. If we had to sleep in a bra, this would be it.

Victoria’s Secret Zebra lace Longline Bralettes

This brand might be known for its extreme push up styles, but Victoria’s Secret has developed an impressive line of bralettes over the past few years. This was our favourite, thanks to its simple pattern and ability to support a range of chest sizes. Larger cup sizes are rarely supported by triangle designs, but our tester found that the adjustable straps went a long way in controlling the fit.

Lindex Velvet Bralettes

If you’re looking for comfort, it doesn’t get much softer than velvet. This was one of the prettiest bralettes we tried and is our winner for decorative value. Thinly padded and lace lined, the triangle design works best for those with a smaller cup size, as it doesn’t provide the right level of restriction or support. The straps are quite thin and our tester found that they did dig into her shoulders after extensive wear.

Pretty Little Thing Black Lace Cross Front Detail Bralettes

Whether you want to wear it as lingerie or a top, this bralette gives a lot of shape and sits comfortably on your chest. Available in clothing sizes 4-16, it can be tricky to translate from your usual bra size but our tester found that the 12 was perfect for 32DDD for reference. You can choose from five colours, but we liked classic black option the most.
