Say Goodbye to Underwire Bras that Poke and Prod

A bralette is the perfect compromise when the idea of putting on a traditional bra is terrifying yet you don't want to go fully bra-less. More and more bralette styles are available than ever before with wire-free options that closely mimic underwire bras (without the poking and prodding of course). And bralettes aren't just for small cup sizes: there are full-coverage bralettes for all sizes that are supportive and comfortable all day.

Whether you're lounging on the couch, going out to dinner or heading to the office, The Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab found the best bralettes to buy for every occasion. GH analysts tested bralettes by sending them to multiple testers with a variety of cup sizes who provided feedback on comfort, support, fit, appearance, and much more as well as testing washability and stretch recovery in Lab.

After analyzing data from over 150 testers and considering previous bra test winners, we found the best bralettes to buy in 2023. Whether you like lacy, sleek, or sporty bralettes, these wireless, buttery-soft styles that you might even forget you’re wearing a bra.
