Bralettes: Wireless Comfort, Everyday to Lingerie

A bralette is a soft, wire-free bra — comfort you can wear all day and pretty enough to show. Lace, triangle, halter, strappy and longline, in every colour.

Shop the full range below. First: exactly what a bralette is, how it differs from a regular bra, and how to pick the right style and support level.

Quick Answer

What is a bralette?

A bralette is a soft, wireless bra — no underwire, no moulded cups, usually lightly lined or unlined — designed for comfort and a natural shape rather than heavy lift. Think of it as the middle ground between a bra and a crop top: supportive enough for everyday and lounge wear, and pretty enough to layer visibly under a blazer or a sheer top. Common styles include the lace bralette, triangle bralette, halter, strappy and longline. Because there's no wire, bralettes suit smaller busts beautifully and offer relaxed comfort for fuller busts who want a break from underwire — and many now come in supportive, full-bust versions. They pull on or clasp, come in cotton, lace and modal, and in black, white, nude and more. Shop bralettes below.

The bralette guide

Support, sizing, layering and who it suits — answered.

01Do bralettes give enough support?+

For smaller and mid busts, a well-fitted bralette gives light-to-moderate support that's plenty for everyday, lounge and layering. Fuller busts can absolutely wear bralettes too — look for a wider band, a full or lined cup, and adjustable straps, or a full-bust bralette designed with more structure. If you need firm lift and shaping, a structured underwire bra is the better tool.

02How should a bralette fit and how do I size it?+

Many bralettes come in S–XL rather than band-and-cup sizing; check the brand's size guide against your usual bra size. It should feel snug but never tight — the band does the supporting, so it should sit level and firm without digging. If you're between sizes or fuller-busted, size up in the band and look for adjustable straps.

03Can you wear a bralette as a top?+

Yes — that's half the appeal. Layer a lace or strappy bralette under an open blazer, a slip dress or a sheer blouse, or wear a longline bralette as a crop top with high-waisted trousers. Pick a colour that either matches your outerwear or is meant to peek through.

04Care & longevity+

Hand-wash lace and delicate bralettes in cool water, or use a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle, and always air-dry — heat breaks down elastic and lace. Cotton and modal styles can take a gentle machine wash. Skip fabric softener to keep the stretch.

Bralette FAQ

The questions shoppers ask most, answered straight.

What is a bralette?

A bralette is a soft, wireless bra with no underwire or moulded cups, designed for comfort and a natural shape. It's supportive enough for everyday wear and pretty enough to layer visibly, and comes in lace, triangle, halter, strappy and longline styles.

What's the difference between a bralette and a bra?

A bralette is wire-free with soft cups and light-to-moderate support and a natural shape; a regular bra usually has underwire and moulded or structured cups for more lift and shaping. Bralettes are often sized S–XL, while bras use band-and-cup sizing.

Do bralettes have support?

Yes — light to moderate. A well-fitted bralette supports smaller and mid busts well for everyday wear; fuller busts should look for a wider band, full cup and adjustable straps, or a full-bust bralette. For firm lift, choose a structured underwire bra.

Can you wear a bralette as a top?

Yes — layer a lace or strappy bralette under an open blazer, slip dress or sheer top, or wear a longline bralette as a crop top. It's designed to be seen.

Are bralettes good for big busts?

They can be — look for full-bust or plus-size bralettes with a wider band, a full or lined cup and adjustable straps for more support. Browse our plus size bralettes for styles built with fuller busts in mind.

What do you wear under a sheer top — a bralette?

A lace or triangle bralette is ideal under a sheer top when you want the bra to be part of the look. If you'd rather it disappear, choose a nude seamless style close to your skin tone instead.

How do I wash a bralette?

Hand-wash lace and delicate styles in cool water or use a mesh bag on delicate, and air-dry. Cotton and modal can take a gentle machine wash. Skip the dryer and fabric softener to keep the elastic and lace intact.
