Not one but two PureWow editors rely on this light-as-air bra. The brand claims it’ll feel like second skin and fashion editor Abby Hepworth agrees: “I wore a regular bra every day during the pandemic. And I honestly prefer the support this Aerie bra provides over the feeling of my boobs flopping around in a flimsy bralette.”

It’s crafted with polyamide and elastane for extra softness—plus, the extra cup coverage and bralette style makes it the most comfortable fit on the list. “Even though the material is really soft and thin, it still feels supportive. The underwire and overall shape is just like my normal bras but this version is way more relaxed and comfortable,” says Rachel Gulmi, associate managing editor.

Two words: Adjustable straps. For a comfy fit, this Aerie bra comes with adjustable straps and a four row hook and eye closure to support the girls. Made with recycled nylon and elastane, the fabric provides softness and stretchability along with underwire support for gentle shaping and coverage. “I LOVE all of Aerie’s bras across the board, but this one’s material is so lightweight and soft, and it lasts for a very long time,” says Hepworth.

With more than 3,000 glowing reviews, this SKIMS bralette deserves a spot in your drawer. It's made from nylon and spandex that contours to your body while offering support and comfort for daily wear. Plus, it has adjustable straps, so you can get the fit just how you want it. “It's so comfortable, especially if you have bigger boobs and can't usually get good support from a wireless/bralette style. It doesn't squish your boobs into a uniboob but it also lends enough shape that I feel like I can wear it out of the house,” says Katherine Gillen, food editor.

This Spanx pick features smart stretch straps, which give added support and comfort just like a regular bra minus the indents on your shoulders. It also has a smoothing back that prevents any lumps or bumps from peeking out and has an easy-to-use front clasp. As one PureWow reviewer states, “It doesn’t have any lace at all and is made from a smooth, seam-free material, so I knew I could rock it under close-fitting tanks and silk blouses (spoiler: it’s totally undetectable). And it has thicker straps than any bralette I’ve ever owned, which allows for a nice upward boost without digging into my shoulders or upper back. I basically haven’t taken this bra off since I got it—it’s that good.”

If you’re looking for a simple and lightweight bra, look no further than this Parade bralette. Made of recycled fabric (including sustainable cotton linings) it has a soft, cooling and stretchable fit. The bralette also features adjustable straps and their signature airband (instead of underwire) for underboob support that won’t dig into the skin. For editorial assistant Delia Curtis, the switch to this bralette was easy as pie: “I’ve replaced nearly all of my bras with this bralette. They get the job done without underwire, but still keep everything in place, it’s comfortable and functional without the traditional sculpting that other bras do.”

Strapless bras are notorious for being uncomfortable. However, this Wacoal favorite is *the* exception. It’s crafted with silicone lining, so the cups stay in place and an inner side sling for larger breasts. Bonus: The bra also comes with removable straps, in case you need more support for an occasion. “I’m deeply obsessed with this strapless bra by Wacoal. It’s so comfortable and actually stays put, even for a full day of wear. And the lace doesn’t show through on light color clothing, which is great,” says Hepworth.

This no-fuss tank kicks discomfort to the curb. It’s designed with double-lined cups, a wide underbust band and adjustable straps so you can slip it on with no problems. Made of organic cotton, recycled nylon and elastane, this bralette is an all-time favorite for our director of affiliate strategy, Pamela Masin. “Their bras are so soft and I especially love this bralette because the straps are adjustable, which isn’t always the case for this type of style. Plus, the color options are so good,” she says.

If you have yet to slip on a triangle bralette, your world is about to be rocked. While your girls might not be as lifted, they will still be kept securely in place. “This triangle bralette has a barely-there feel but has clasps in the back and adjustable straps just like a "real" bra,” explains Natalie LaBarbera, assistant commerce editor. It also has darted cups and a narrow underbust to give you just the right amount of lift.

This all-purpose bra promises to keep things secure for your most casual days and your most intense workouts. Its teardrop design and wireless cup gives full coverage and gentle support. It also features padding in the back, adjustable straps and minimal lining. “It's incredibly comfortable and supportive without any underwire! Honestly, I was surprised because I've only ever worn bras with an underwire. But there's literally no difference in support—it actually feels so much better. Wires have cut into my skin before,” says Marissa Wu, associate SEO editor.

There are wireless bras and then there’s this one by DKNY. “I appreciate its padding, which feels more like lining. The band is also thin and supportive but doesn’t give me that bra-band bulge. Also, the straps disappear under t-shirts, tanks and even silky shirts, and it has no underwire, which is my everyday-comfort baseline,” says Dana Dickey, senior editor.

In search of a T-shirt bra that’s equal parts lightweight and comfortable? This Calvin Klein favorite boasts 6,000 five-star reviews and one PureWow editor loves its soft microfiber material and memory foam cups that offer a personalized fit. “I love this bra for when I must wear one.

Kindly has been paving the way for sustainable bras that you need to add to your collection. Its blend of recycled nylon, spandex and elastic, along with Brazilian sugarcane in the cups, makes for a simple yet supportive piece to wear comfortably all day long. One PureWow editor said it best: “As a small-chested woman (I’m typically a 32A), I have pretty much accepted that unless I’m wearing a bralette (a style I’m not a huge fan of), there’s going to be a gap between my bra and my boobs. Except…there wasn’t. Despite being larger than my typical size (Kindly sizes range from 34A to 40DD, which is a bit more limiting than we'd like), this thing conformed to my body like a glove.”

You know how we feel about Natori’s cult-favorite feathers bra (if you don’t, read all about it here). But if you want to eschew all that lace and, okay, also the underwires, for something simpler and more straightforward, this soft cup style is a happy compromise. Featuring a flat elastic band at the bottom, it keeps everything in place in a very supportive way. “I love it! It fits amazing and it’s not only supportive but comfortable too—and it has an amazing fabric that is stretchy. I ordered the 30DD [even though] I’m originally a 28DDD, but the 30DD is my sister size, so I’m very happy that it fits so well,” says one shopper.

Sexy and comfortable are two words that seem mutually exclusive. This ThirdLove bra proves that theory wrong.

Don’t believe us? Peep the 3,600 five-star reviews: “The fit is perfect, and the lilac color is light enough that I can wear this every day. Overall, it makes me feel really sexy and beautiful.
