19 Strapless Bras to Feel Beautifully Lifted

Fewer wardrobe items are more important than the perfect-fitting bra or supportive shapewear. There's nothing quite like the feeling when you find the strapless bra that checks all the boxes.

As warmer weather approaches, you'll need a foundation for a wedding guest dress, your favorite summer top, or anything sans straps. Fortunately, lingerie brands have come around with some highly rated and expert-recommended elevated styles that are comfortable and supportive.

Depending on the amount of support you need, there are standard strapless bra features like foam padding, underwire cups, side boning, and wider bands. Keep an eye out for styles with interior silicone grippers that will adhere to your skin to keep the bra up and in place.

Plus, most bandeau bras come with convertible, adjustable straps so you can configure the bra to suit your neckline needs, from halter to racerback to asymmetrical. If you are really averse to the traditional underwire strapless bra, try a versatile stretch bandeau or even an adhesive backless bra (yes, they really work!).

We combed the internet to find the best strapless bra for every body type, bust shape and size. Below, the most stylish and comfortable options from trusted lingerie brands to make you feel beautifully supported.

24/7 Classic Strapless Bra

Behold the strapless version of ThirdLove's bestselling T-shirt bra. Soft foam cups and silicone strips lend support, and of course, the style comes in the brand's signature half-cup sizes so you can find your perfect fit. Available in band sizes 32 - 44 and cup sizes AA - H.

One reviewer writes, "I have never had a comfortable and truly supportive strapless bra until this one! This is so SOFT, smoothing (didn't even show under silk), and kept my breasts up all night under a slip dress.

This is making me rethink my refusal to wear one shoulder tops. It's honestly that good."

Fits Everybody Bandeau Bra

For a classic stretch bandeau that works under your favorite summer top, you can't beat this soft and supportive Skims style. Available in a range of skin tones and fun fashion colors through size 4X at a fantastic price, it's easy to see why it's a top seller. By some sort of magic, this bandeau fits small to large busts perfectly.

A "nonbeliever turned wrong" writes, "I am a 34DD, and someone who has never had a strapless bra be even slightly comfortable or lifting to my chest. I swore them off.

For the first time in my life, I am a true believer in this bra. I got a large, it works perfectly. I admittedly bought another one after wearing this first one, no joke, about 5 days in a row. It is that good."

The No-Wire Strapless

Ladies of all sizes love this bra. This comfortable strapless bra is wireless yet offers adequate support—courtesy of the lightly padded foam cups, side boning for structure, no-slip silicone strips, and wide band. And it's available from 32A - 38DDD.

A 32DD reviewer says, "Usually I'm such a skeptical of strapless bras, but this one holds in place and is really amazing. I did realize that I needed to go up in band size (up from 32 to 34), but the cups are so comfortable and soft! I also just love the style!"

MVP Multiway Strapless Bra

Designed specifically for small-busted women with cup sizes AA, A, and B, this chic balconette style subtly highlights your natural shape without all the padding. It also comes with convertible, removable straps. Available in black and five skin-tone shades, as well as sizes 30AA - 40B.

One 34AA reviewer says, "I bought this bra after seeing a video review and OMG it fits! No gaps, no sliding up or down. I wore it to a formal event and did not adjust it at all the entire 6-7 hours of wear! I’ve never felt so comfortable and secure in my entire bra-wearing life—straps or not!

I feel like I can now reassess my entire wardrobe with the knowledge of a strapless bra that works! Thank you, Pepper. Where have you been all my life?!"

Headliner Compression Shaping Bandeau

If you're looking for something as sleek as it is secure, this bandeau with detachable straps from Lizzo's new shapewear line, Yitty, does not disappoint. This high-shine, seamless style has medium compression that keeps small to plus size grrrls in place. Available in sizes XS - 6X.

An elite size 1X reviewer says, "(I) didn't think it was possible to make a secure bandeau for this size of boobs, but I was pleasantly surprised!"

Another 4X reviewer writes, "This bandeau is really amazing. I have a heavy bust wearing a 48DD and can never go strapless. I initially didn't have high hopes for wearing this strapless but this one is life changing!

The ribbed bottom and top of the bra helps it stay put for the most part. There is extra support under the arm which helps us big girls! I will definitely be getting the other colors when available in my size?!"

Truly Smooth Strapless Underwire Bra

You can ignore the old reviews—Natori's simple strapless is one of Nordstrom's bestselling undergarments for any size range. Buyers swear by the wider band (which also smooths out the back) and interior silicone bands that help this bra stay up. Bonus: Extra hook-and-eye closures lend another barrier of security. Available in sizes 32B - 36DDD.

One reviewer writes, "This is a very nice natural looking strapless bra. I am larger busted (34D) and I don't need the push up effect that many strapless bras have. This bra stays up, is comfortable and looks good. I am loving it!"

Multi-Way Boost Strapless Bra

Style expert Katie Sturino tested and ultimately reccomended this strapless bra from Cacique in her roundup of favorites. Cacique is especially designed for larger busts, sizes 12 - 36, bras 34 - 54, B - K. It comes with adjustable straps, and in four skin tone shades as well as black.

One reviewer says, "Listen! This is THE bra. It does everything perfectly. Strapless, stays up PERFECTLY!

Crisscross back, got it. One strap, nailed it. Don't let this one pass you by. It's such good quality too and I'm a tough critic on bras. 10/10 recommend."

Red Carpet Strapless Bra for Large Chests

This Katie Sturino–approved underwire strapless bra is designed for extended sizes and is ideal for strapless summer dresses. Available in sizes 30D - 44G as well as a range of color options.

One purchaser and bride to be writes, "This is a totally game changer! It looks like I’m wearing a regular bra support and shape wise. I’m a 32 DDD (about 5 foot 4 inches and 145 pounds) so I wasn’t optimistic when I started my search for a strapless bra.

My wedding is in the month and I unexpectedly fell in love with an off the shoulder dress, but once I took the dress home I realized I was going to need to find a suitable bra. This thing is pretty comfy and doesn’t fall down at all.

I’ve been wearing this all day to test it out. I’m not sore at all because it is supportive and does it’s job. Quality is wonderful."

Core Microfiber Underwire Strapless Bra

Savage x Fenty came through with five-star reviews from DD wearers. Hidden interior boning, supportive underwire, and a silicone elastic help to keep the girls in place. From sizes 30 - 44, cups A - DD.

A recent reviewer writes, "Do yourself a favor and buy it. I am a 36 DDD but bought a 36 DD because I was desperate for a strapless bra. For my first wear, I decided to test this thing on a day trip where I was pretty active and moving around all day in the sweltering heat.

Despite running around like a crazy person + sweating a ton, this thing stayed in place and kept me secure. I didn't have to adjust it once.

I love this bra. I am going to buy more of them. Whenever someone mentions that they are in the market for a good strapless, I aggressively sing the praises of this one. It's THAT good."

Backless Push-Up Bra

NuBra's bestselling and patented backless, seamless, and self-adhesive bra magically provides great push-up cleavage and maximum support without any straps at all. Available in cup sizes A - E as well as chocolate, fair, tan, and black.

One reviewer says, "Adds a bit of oomph to your bust, stays on well, and feels like you have nothing on."

Undie-Tectable Better Bandeau

A bandeau unlike any other: Instead of giving you pancake boobs, this lightly lined bra has wireless cups for separation. Pretty lace seals the deal. Available in sizes XS - XL.

Sicilia Adjustable Strapless Lace Bra

How beautiful is this flirty lace number? With non-padded underwire cups and delicate lace layered over a sheer mesh, it offers just the right amount of light support. Naturally, it's perfect for brides-to-be, but it's also offered in black for a sultrier take. Insiders have voted it "all-time favorite strapless bra" for its beautiful lace detailing and a low back that's perfect for barely-there tops and dresses.

Love Cloud Wireless Strapless Bandeau Bra

If you haven't felt the Love Cloud bras, there's a seamless, pillowy padding that lends to a super-smooth and supported feel. It somehow manages to feel extremely light while providing full coverage. This strapless bandeau has a pull-on design and comes in a range of colors if you're sick of black or skin tone. Available in sizes XS - XL (DD).
