8 OF THE BEST DESIGNER WIRELESS BRAS AND BRALETTES FOR WOMEN

Lingerie is one of the best ways to feel confident, sexy, and pampered—though it should never come at the expense of comfort, which is why finding your perfect bra size is critical before shopping.

As the foundation of every outfit, a bra should fit properly, provide support, and feel like it’s barely there. Underwire bras used to be the standard, but the best women’s wireless bras and bralettes are a comfy alternative, relying on stitching and fabric instead of uncomfortable underwire for shape and support.

Today, designer labels make shopping for intimates easy, offering bras that feel seamless and look stylish. With the right fit, you’ll forget you’re wearing a bra at all.

HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT SIZE AND FIT

A comfortable bra starts with a proper fit. Here’s how to take band and cup measurements to determine your ideal bra size:

Measure the band size

First, be sure to take off your bra and stand up straight for the most accurate reading. With a tape measure pulled taut, begin just below the bust, then around the back, coming full circle. Note the measurement and round up to the nearest whole number.

Measure the cup size

Wearing a non-padded bra, wrap the tape measure around the back and across the fullest part of the chest. Subtract the band measurement from this number—the difference correlates to a letter, which is your cup size: 0=AA, 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=DD, 6=F, 7=FF, 8=G, 9=GG, 10=H, 11=HH, 12=J, and so on. Now combine the band and cup sizes to determine your bra size. For example, a 34-inch band and a C cup would be a 34C. 

Tips for getting the best bra fit

• A bra’s cups should have a snug fit, with no gaps between the fabric and skin and, conversely, with no skin overflowing the cups. Test a bra’s fit by wearing it beneath a T-shirt and checking for visible lines, gaps, or bumps.

• The best wireless bras for large busts have wide under-bands and wide adjustable straps for added support. Racerback designs have ultra-wide straps, making them an excellent option.

• When choosing everyday bras, experiment with colors that complement the skin tone, enhance confidence, and express personality.
