Which Kind of Wireless Bra is For You?

How to choose between a wire free bra and a bralette.

With more people working from home, one can safely say that “business casual” dressing has pretty much become “comfort casual” dressing. As button-ups and dresses make their way to the back of our closets, comfy sweaters and soft t-shirts secure their spots in heavy rotation. As always, undergarments change with the wardrobe worn over them, so it might not surprise you that wireless bras are rising in popularity at the moment. Still deciding between a wire free bra and a bralette? We’re here to break down the difference between the two.

THE BRALETTE

Think of the bralette as the lingerie equivalent of loungewear.It’s easy, breezy, and totally relaxed. While we typically recommend this type of bra for women with smaller breasts, we now offer a style that can support up to a DD cup. Another characteristic that sets our bralettes apart from the rest of our bras: They are sized only according to their band, as they tend to be less structured—so generally more about easy comfort and less precise support. Staying in all day to binge-watch your favorite show? A bralette is just the style for you.

THE WIRE FREE BRA

If you’re looking for more support, allow us to suggest a wire free bra, which is sized like a regular underwire bra with band and cup size. Wire free bras provide more shape than bralettes, as they are designed to lift and support the breasts to nearly the same level as a traditional bra. But amazingly, they don’t have an underwire!
