• Bralettes are one of the most popular alternatives to wearing a regular bra.
• There are many different styles of bralettes for those with a larger chest.
I have a love-hate relationship with bras, and lingerie for that matter. Most of the time, I'd find myself with boring T-shirt bras, uncomfortable underwire bras and the like. Of course, that was until I discovered the beauty of bralettes. Less constricting than a sports bra, but still something to give a little bit of support to make me feel comfortable in public.
I was beyond elated to find that these were also pretty enough that I could use it as a layering piece without batting an eyelash about my underpinnings peaking out. Essentially, I was a born-again lingerie lover. Comfortable and cute — what more could I ask for?!
Then I came to realize that a very small amount of bralettes actually offer support for those with larger assets. If you're a little on the chestier side, it can be difficult to find lingerie that is both cute and comfortable, especially when underwire bras seem to be the daily part of getting dressed.
I am a firm believer that everyone should be comfortable enough to wear bralettes, so I've rounded up some of the best ones that stay true to the definition of a bralette without compromising on support.
1. Wireless
If you're the more sporty type, this is the bra for you.
2. The Deep V
You never know when you'll need a plunging neckline in a bra.
3. The Racerback
This racerback is definitely comfortable and supportive.
4. The Halter
Halters are a classic supportive bralette.
5. The Color Black
This cut-out bra will stand out on its own.
6. The Triangle Bra
Ugh, this one is just too pretty.
7. The Strappy Bra
The straps on this will up the sex factor, but will also add support.
8. The High Neck
Layer this under a tank top for the perfect Coachella-ready look.
9. The Soft-Cup
This might technically be a bra, but the soft cup gives it a bralette feel with all the support.
