The best wireless bras offer support along with a flattering silhouette and all-day wearability. With the rise of the athleisure trend—and and a work-from-home lifestyle—many women are swapping their stiff, wired bras for softer options. As it turns out, some of most comfortable bras include wireless styles that also provide lift, shaping and support, several steps above a barely-there pullover or bandeau.
Striking that balance of comfort and support is key to finding the best wireless bra for your body. Luckily, many of today’s wireless bras are designed to hold and sculpt without that pesky wire—for both small and large cup-size women. We asked bra specialists to share their favorite wireless bra styles, and did some research on our own, to assembled this list of the best wireless bras for every cup size and occasion.
Le Mystere: An All-Around Supportive, Comfortable Style
Le Mystere Sheer Illusion Wireless Bra
Sizes: 32B to 38F | Colors: Black, tan | Materials: 94% nylon, 6% spandex
Opting for a wire-free bra means no wires poking and pressing against your skin. “This bra has a less rigid fit, and buyers love that it’s comfortable yet supportive,” says Christina Faraj Savarese, owner of The Bra Fit Expert in Cornwall, NY. The sheer detailing is enough to inspire anyone to ditch an underwire since it adds an element of the unexpected to an otherwise very functional style.
What the reviews say: “This bra from Le Mystere is so lightly padded that you can barely tell it’s there,” says one reviewer. “It’s worth the price and fits beautifully. No more wires for me.”
Wacoal: An Inexpensive Style With An Expensive Lingerie Look
Wacoal Embrace Lace Convertible Plunge Soft Cup Wireless Bra
Sizes: 30 to 42 | Colors: Nude, black, white, rose and periwinkle blue | Materials: body: 91% nylon, 9% spandex; back lining: 88% nylon, 12% spandex; lace: 54% nylon, 33% polyester, 13% spandex
This affordable bra gives you the comfort of a soft, elasticized waistband and the sexiness of plunging stretch cups with lace. “This two-toned bra is gorgeous, you can get matching underwear if you choose, and it has a J-hook so you can wear it as a racerback if you want,” says Savarese. “The only drawback is that it fits a limited cup size from B through a full D but the ribcage size goes from 30 to 42.”
What the reviews say: “Following breast surgery, I can’t wear underwire, but I still want something pretty, not a sports bra,” shares a reviewer. “This bra from Wacoal fits the bill; I love it and feel feminine again.”
Pros:
Budget-friendly
Can convert to a racerback
Cons:
Some say runs small in the ribcage
May be better for smaller cup sizes
Best Wireless Bra For Larger Busts
Cosabella: A Supportive Option For Bigger Cup Sizes
A couple things make this bralette especially popular with women with a curvier shape: It has wide straps that don’t dig in, side slings and a power mesh lining for extra support. “This bra is popular because it’s functional, comfortable and absolutely beautiful,” says Savarese. “The cup range goes all the way up to an H cup.” It also has matching underwear if you want a coordinated look.
What the reviews say: “I will admit that I was skeptical that a bralette would provide adequate support for a DD bust,” says a pleased reviewer. “However, it’s supportive, comfortable and much prettier than any of the options for larger busts. I love it and will be purchasing more.”
Pros:
Comfortable, soft lace
Wide range of sizes
Lightweight
Cons:
Some say the cups run large
May stretch some
Best Wireless Bra For Smaller Busts
Pepper: Superior Fit And Function For Small Cup Sizes
Pepper FeelGood Wirefree T-Shirt Bra
Sizes: XXS to XL | Colors: Tan, black, rose, blue | Materials: 93% polyamide, 7% elastane
Smaller-busted women sometimes have issues with wireless bras riding up and squishing their chest. But Pepper bras are specifically designed for small sizes, and this style provides a little lift and a smooth silhouette under clothing. In addition to the wire-free construction, there aren’t any darts or seams to cause irritation, poking, itchiness or rubbing. Users rave about this style’s impeccable fit, light padding, breathable fabric and stay-put straps.
What the reviews say: “Finally, a comfortable and easy-to-wear bra for smaller women,” says a happy five-star reviewer. “I have tried a lot of different bras over the years— at last, I have found a winner. It’s comfortable and I don’t have to worry about it riding up in front, and no more sore bony spine.”
Pros:
Convertible straps
No gapping at the cup
Cons:
Not designed for larger busts
Best Wireless Pushup Bra
Skarlett Blue: A Wear-All-Day Wireless Boost
Skarlett Blue Prestige Wireless Pushup Bra
Sizes: 30A to 36DD | Colors: Black, tan| Materials: 62% nylon, 38% spandex; cup lining: 100% polyester
For times you want to wear a V- or scoop-neck dress or top, Skarlett Blue’s wireless plunge style has you covered, and gives you some extra volume. “This bra works well for small- to average-size-chested women,” says Savarese. “It’s comfortable because it’s seamless, and it provides a little pushup without a wire, which can be hard to find.”
What the reviews say: “This is a great bra, expensive but worth the money,” says a reviewer. “I am a 32A and I find it’s supportive [and] complimentary to my small bust.”
Pros:
Light padding
Reviewers say quality is good and it wears well
Made of all-way stretch jersey fabric
Cons:
Side boning detail, while supportive, may be irritating
Everyday, comfy t-shirt bras are a necessary staple in your underwear drawer. “This bra has full coverage and is lined but it’s not thickly padded,” says Savarese, so it creates a more natural look for daily wear. Plus, the deep V, plunge-style prevents uniboob.
What the reviews say: “Wearing a bra has always been painful for me,” shares a buyer. “This bra felt like a gentle embrace the second I put it on. No hard underwires digging in, a perfectly smooth fit under clothing and straps that stay put. Not wanting to rip off a bra as soon as I get home—unheard of.”
Pros:
Extremely soft fabric
Stay-put straps
Works well for small breasted women
Cons:
Side boning enhances shape, but can rub
Some say band size runs small
