The 16 Most Comfortable Bras for Everyday Wear
When it comes to underpinnings, no one has time for anything other than the most comfortable bras. Just like the best women's underwear, comfortable bras are necessity to ground every outfit. These days, you can find them in every form including seamless, wireless, T-shirt, push-up, or minimizer varieties—all so supportive and soft, you'll never feel an urge to rip them off at the end of the day.
"Technology is constantly providing new and innovative fabrics that make bras more comfortable than ever before," Annette Smith, brand director of Montelle Intimates, tells BAZAAR. "Look for soft fabrics that are breathable and, where possible, eco-friendly." For that closest thing to a braless feel (a particularly ideal sensation in summer), she adds, "3D Spacer knit technology is the next closest thing in a full-support, bulk-free bra. It lets your breasts breathe, and you feel comfortable even on the hottest days." For most, premiere comfort comes from a wireless or leisurely bralette.
Smith says a wireless bra is the best option for everyday wear and "usually has all the features of an underwired bra such as hook and eye closure, molded cups, [and] adjustable straps." If you're partial to the soft and flexible nature of bralettes, the lingerie expert suggests looking for cup-sized versions for the best support, as opposed to S-M-L-XL. The latter sizes "will often squish your boobs together and create a uni-boob," she explains. Adding, "Whenever possible, look for a cup that will help compartmentalize the breasts—these are best for lounging, lazy Sundays, or to wear to bed."
Most importantly, Smith notes: "Any bra can be comfortable if you wear the right size." A professional fitting with trained lingerie boutique or department store fitters will solve this problem.
