If you ever find yourself eyeing a gorgeous tube dress and knowing that by the end of the night you’ll be wearing your bra like a belt, it might be time to invest in one of the best strapless bras on the market. While sticky bras are another great sly option, they just don’t offer the same support that a wire or molded bra does. “They’re ideal for strapless dresses and tops, as well as outfits with delicate straps where regular bra straps might be visible–unless, of course, that’s the intended look,” says stylist Shelby Comroe. And yet, strapless bras are notoriously difficult to shop for; they can be uncomfortable, ill-fitting, and cumbersome, needing constant re-adjustment. “The perfect strapless bra is certainly elusive: correctly fitted, functional, and comfortable all in one,” agrees lingerie buyer Sophia Fischbein.

While discovering a strapless bra that doesn’t dig or sag and offers real support can seem like an insurmountable task, don’t lose hope just yet. Plenty of brands are making strides in this department, producing styles with super-soft fabrics and mold-to-you cups, and ones that are available in a wider range of sizes (including half-cup sizes!), at that. So you don’t have to do any of the work, we tapped fashion insiders for styles they swear by and found some of the best-reviewed bras online that shoppers love. From the best strapless bras for big boobs to wireless options, find their approved picks for all bust sizes, ahead.

Available in four hues and up to size XL, this strapless bra from the label is ideal for anyone who loves an ultra-soft, barely-there fit. Case in point: It’s made completely with silky microfiber and lacks underwire. Pick this one up for days spent lounging or when you want light support underneath your everyday, relaxed-fit tee.

It’s the one strapless bra I never have to continuously pull up and fidget with.” —Lauren Eggertsen, editorial director of Who What Wear

Bloomingdale’s rating: 4.4/5 stars

However, life (and bridesmaid dresses) happen, so I always have one I can turn to with some confidence that I won’t be miserable in the whole time I wear it. Currently, that’s the Le Mystère Soiree Strapless. The band doesn’t dig, and I find it provides a nice, natural hold instead of creating a uni-boob situation.

Cushioned Underwire Lightly Lined Convertible Strapless Bra

If you’re looking for some serious support (at an affordable price point), look no further. Warner’s strapless bra has cushioned underwire for comfortable lift and full-coverage cups to help prevent any spillage.

Amazon rating: 3.8/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “This is the ONLY strapless bra I found that ticks all the boxes! Stays put—no matter the circumstances (humidity, sweat, weather, dancing) it stays up!); Comfortable—it’s so comfy, you forget you’re wearing it!; Gives nice shape—not visible at all through the clothes and since it’s molded it gives a nice breast shape; Durable—the material is not only nice and soft, but this bra is super durable. I had my first for years and it only started fraying now a little! Yes, tons of washing too. Get this bra, you’ll never look back!”

Wire-Free Non-Slip Silicone Bandeau Bra

An Amazon reviewer says: “Pleasantly surprised at how well this bra supports my 36DDD bust. Until now, I’ve never been able to find a bandeau bra that’s wide enough to not leave any boob hanging out on top or bottom and that also supports. The cups are large enough inside. Definitely a very comfy alternative to the underwire bras I’ve been wearing that start to dig into my sides after a couple hours.”

Double Take Lace-Paneled Stretch Bandeau Bra

Italian stretch fabric and a delicate lace back earn this Commando bra both comfort and style points. Snag it in black or nude.

Rating: 3.7/5 stars

Our testers say: “To be honest, my favorite strapless bra is no bra, however, when I absolutely have to wear one, my go-to is the Commando Bandeau Bra. It has been a lifesaver one too many times for me, not to mention it strikes the perfect combination of comfort and function. I actually have three of the same one!”—Adrienne Faurote, fashion, jewelry & watch director of Haute Living

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in a strapless bra?

Strapless bras are notoriously one of the most difficult undergarments to shop for, because so many can be ill-fitting or uncomfortable. For stylist and editor Shelby Comroe, there are a few key indicators to look out for when shopping for a strapless bra. “For me, comfort is key. Many strapless bras can be uncomfortable, so it’s crucial that they fit perfectly, are made of quality material, stay in place, are tight enough but not too tight, and don’t pinch your sides.”

How can I find the right size for strapless bras?

As with traditional bras, correctly identifying the band and cup size can dramatically reduce discomfort and help create the silhouette you're looking for. When shopping for strapless bras, however, sizing is even more key, because the last thing you want is for your new bra to slip and suddenly become a belt. “With no adjustable straps, finding the perfect fit for a strapless bra is crucial. I strongly recommend getting professionally measured and fitted. However, if you’re shopping online, exploring various fits and styles will help narrow things down. A key tip is to size down on the band while keeping the same cup size. Bearing this in mind, order a range of options to discover the best fit for you,” says Comroe.

How can I make sure my strapless bra doesn’t slip?

Nothing is more annoying than spending all day wriggling your strapless bra back into place. However, with proper sizing and materials, you can find a strapless bra that stays put. “It’s important to go down a band size so that it’s a bit tighter than your regular bra–but not too tight that it’s uncomfortable,” says Comroe. She adds, “The band’s width matters, especially for larger cup sizes–a wider band offers better support. The band needs to sit securely, so seek features like underwire, side boning, or silicone lining for added grip. Positioning is key; if it’s too high or too low, it’s likely to move. Lastly, put it to the test: Wiggle, jump, and raise your arms to confirm it stays put.”
