These Bras May Not Have Any Wire, but They Offer Great Support

You may blanketly group your bras into three main categories: everyday bras, sports bras, and lingerie. But the reality is, there are all different types of bras on the market—push-up bras, shelf bras, front-closure bras, plunge bras... The list goes on and on. And each one is, more or less, designed with a specific purpose for a specific breast size range and shape.

Over the past couple of years, though, wireless bras have quickly risen in popularity in women of all shapes and sizes. Experts say the trend is directly correlated to the pandemic—a time when we all craved comfort in every aspect of our lives, undergarments included.

Thankfully—especially for those with large busts—we're starting to see a huge crop of more supportive versions of your average triangle-shaped wireless bra. Beloved brands like ThirdLove and Victoria's Secret, as well as newcomers like Skims, all offer wire-free options for every preference, including full-coverage styles, hook-and-eye closures, plunge fronts, scoop necklines, and more.

In general, those with smaller busts can get away with less support and may even find they comfortably fill out dainty lace triangle styles. On the other hand, those with large busts should keep an eye out for more supportive styles—wireless bras with more formfitting molded cups, wide adjustable straps, and a traditional hook-and-eye closure.

To help you zero in on the right style for you, we rounded up a wide range of the best wireless support bras on the market today.
