What is a front‑closure bra?

A front-closure bra is designed with a fastening mechanism located between the cups at the center front, rather than at the back. This engineered design offers smoother back coverage without hardware and provides accessibility for those with limited shoulder mobility or during post-surgical recovery periods.

Front-closure styles come in various options including sports bras, wireless bras, and full-coverage designs, each crafted to deliver different levels of compression and support based on your needs. The central fastening system, which typically features hooks, clasps, or zippers, creates a secure fit while making the bra easier to put on and remove — a practical advantage many women appreciate during their daily routines.

While these bras offer convenience and a sleek appearance under clothing, they sometimes provide less adjustability in the band compared to their back-closing counterparts.
