Best bralettes to shop for women of all bust sizes
Including styles for girls with big boobs 🙌 🙌
Bralettes are the cool, laidback champions of underwear. It’s easy to see why they are so popular, what with them being much kinder to boobs, thanks to the soft cup shape and lack of underwiring. They are the type of bra you can wear all day and not really notice you’re wearing one, which after over a year of lockdowns, working from home and spending more time dressing for the sofa, many of us had ditched the bra all together. Easing back into the boob cage is made a lot easier with a bralette.
But that’s not to say they are boring in design or aren’t sexy. The shapes are numerous, like Hanky Panky's triangle style with thick straps and ruffle trim bandeau designs from & Other Stories. Then there are styles teetering on crop top, like the Skims bright bandeau, that’s so cool, you’ll want to wear as a regular top. And you can.
To anyone reading this, with a bigger bust, who normally feel unable to wear this type of bra (for fear of nip slips, absolutely agonising walking downstairs and just general lack of support), there are options out there, including bralette hybrids, that have that same comfort level we’re after but still offer support and lift.
If there's one wardrobe essential need in your life right now, it's a good bralette. Trust us.
From sporty Calvin Klein and seamless styles, to pretty lace and neon designs, we've pulled together 19 of the best bralettes to treat yourself to right now.
Calvin Klein Plus Size modern cotton bralette in white
Calvin Klein Plus Size modern cotton bralette in white
We had to kick things off with the OG bralette from Calvin Klein. This logo-stamped jersey number is obviously comfortable as hell, but it's also a bit of a lingerie legend. Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Rita Ora has been spotted in this set.
Millie lace bralette
£15, Figleaves
Figleaves' Millie bralette is the dream. Made from comfy stretch-lace, it comes in a huge range of sizes and a rainbow of colours including this glorious green.
H&M Seamless bralette
You can wear this beaut minimalist bralette under just about anything for invisible and comfortable coverage. It comes in a few soft muted tones as well as black & white. Stock up!
The cutout bralette
£24, Free People
Free People have a really incredible range of bralettes on its site, each one prettier than the next. We love this burgundy red hue and the cut out detail on this everyday bra.
Lindex Petite seamless non wired lightly padded bra in black
Lindex Petite seamless non wired lightly padded bra in black
This simple small bralette has lightly padded cups and adjustable thin straps without any uncomfortable underwiring.
& Other Stories Floral Crepe Bandeau Bra
When you're underwear is prettier than your regular clothes. The bandeau shape, the ruffle trim, that pastel yellow shade. We love everything about this bra.
Invisible bra
£40, Organic Basics
A beautifully cut invisible bra that is made with recycled materials and PETA vegan approved. The best quality basics are from Organic Basics, for sure.
Monki Mimmi satin bralet in lilac
You can't go wrong with silky satin. Monki's vintage inspired triangle bralette is so adorable with the ruffle trim and little embroidered rose.
SKIMS Fits Everybody stretch-woven bandeau bra
The great thing about bralettes is that some can double up as very cool crop tops. Let a hint of this neon pink bandeau from Skims peak out from beneath an unbuttoned casual shirt.
Baserange Pam ribbed stretch organic cotton soft-cup bra
Minimalist brand Baserange are all about using high quality and sustainable materials. This gorgeous sky blue bralette is cut from soft organic cotton so you'll know it will feel so soft against your skin all day.
HANKY PANKY Signature stretch-lace bra
Hanky Panky's lace fabric is a signature of the brand, hailed for its comfortable stretch. It also features wide adjustable straps too, if you're looking for support or the option to lift.
H&M Knitted bralette
Ever since Katie Holmes stepped out in that Khaite bra + cardi combo, knitted bras have been a big thing. For a fraction of the price this knitted H&M number is a great imitation.
Topshop Seamless straight neck crop top in rust
A square neckline and cami straps, this cute sporty bralette from Topshop is giving us 90s crop top vibes.
Rowena longline bra
£36, Boux Avenue
This strawberry pink lacey number goes up to a size 38G and the straps can be clipped at the back to form a racer style. We'll have the one in black too, please.
Tommy Hilfiger Mesh bralette in navy
Tommy Hilfiger Mesh bralette in navy
Another great brand to go to for sporty underwear is Tommy Hilfiger. We love the subtle stripes and bright red logo-stamped under-band on this bralette.
H&M 2-pack soft lace bras
If you love the lace options from Hanky Panky but not so much the price tag, H&M is doing two lace bralettes for the price of one in the similar shape.
JELLY SHEER TRIANGLE BRALETTE
£35, Skims
Add a little luxe to your easy wear bralette with a gold front clasp and sexy sheer material.
Gina soft bra
£12, Weekday
The racerback style and lightweight, but thick bodice will offer the comfiest of support for all day wear, without having to rely on irritating underwiring.
Floral lace and mesh bralette
£32, Savage x Fenty
What is not to love about Savage x Fenty bralettes? The mix of mesh and lace in the palest of pinks, and that scoop V neckline. Plus their sizing range is incredible.
