Bras don’t really have a reputation for comfort. More times than not, you’re poked by underwires and squeezed in by padding and tight bands. Luckily for you, the lingerie industry is in the midst of a bralette renaissance, and it has never looked or felt better. The stretchy, often lacy alternative is the perfect way to replace your standard bras and maybe even your crop tops while still offering support.
And you don’t have to have a smaller bust to become a bralette convert, either. Brands like Parade, Lively, and Spanx are making the space more inclusive and comfortable for those of us who are ample of chest. To get you started, we’ve rounded up simple, silky, and stretchy options made for everyday wear. We have bralettes you want to wear all year round.
