What’s a bralette, and when should I wear one?

A bralette is a lightweight, wire-free bra designed for comfort and natural shaping, and you should wear one when you want light support and maximum comfort. Traditional bralettes typically don't have any padding or hardware, which make them less supportive but more lightweight than their bra counterparts.

Choose a bralette for low-impact activities, work-from-home days, travel, under sheer or low-cut layers where pretty details can peek through, sleeping, and hot weather when breathable fabrics feel cooler and reduce friction. While traditional bralettes often use S-XL sizing, fuller busts benefit from versions with added structure like wide bands, seamed cups, and adjustable closures.
