Jockey makes the best wireless bra for large breasts, according to our fashion writer, with other styles recommended by lingerie store owners.
They’re defined by what they don’t have: the much-maligned underwire, which has always been synonymous with support. But wireless bras have come a long way and are literally built differently — usually with a wider band, straps, or both — so they can do the same job as an underwire bra without any risk of poking you in the ribs.
. Today’s wireless bras are a lot more lifting and well-fitting, too. And while people with larger breasts might have to do some more digging to find the right wireless bra , I’m here to tell you that there are good options out there. I’m a 36D and have tested several to find the best wireless bras for large breasts that are nice-looking, comfortable, and supportive. I’ve also talked to lingerie-store owners, fashion writers, and even an undergarment educator about the ones they recommend, especially for people on the larger end of the size spectrum. Read on for their reviews and mine, and if you’re looking for even moreThis guide has some new recommendations, including a new “best overall.” We cut some styles that didn’t feel the “best” anymore. We also added photos of Jockey, Parade, and Cosabellla bralettes and checked the prices and stock for all products.I wanted to feature labels that offer a range of options in both band and cup sizes, including some that go as high as an M cup. Since having a large cup size doesn’t always mean you need a large band, I also looked for bras with a variety of size pairings. Because some wireless bras have letter sizing instead of the standard band-and-cup combination, you should always double check a brand’s size chart to get the right fit. The material a bra is made of is a factor in how comfortable it is. You should look for some sort of stretch — usually in the form of elastane, spandex, or nylon — so a bra won’t feel too constricting. Nylon in particular is featured as a big percentage in the composition of many bras below. It’s especially breathable, because the material is quick-drying and lightweight. Beyond that, the ideal fabric for you is a matter of personal preference. Cotton is airy. So is mesh, which is typically stretchy and often see-through. Lace can be the best-looking, but it doesn’t always sit smoothly under clothing.Just like wired bras, wireless bras come in all kinds of styles, from plunge to longline. The terms wireless bra and bralette are often used interchangeably, though bralettes tend to look a little more like. The level of coverage and shaping you get is dependent on whether a bra is lined or unlined, and whether it contains any padding. Some wireless bras come with removable cups, to give you more control over the support and shape they offer.For each bra below, I labeled the width of the straps as either thin, standard, or wide, judging them in comparison to straps you’d see on a wired bra, as they play a big part in how supportive a bra is. A thinner strap might look sexier, but wider straps are less likely to dig into your shoulders. I also noted whether or not the straps are adjustable, and whether the bra has front or back clasps or goes on over your head.For the longest time, Cosabella’s Never Say Never Sweetie Bralette held this top spot. But after trying about a drawer’s worth of bralettes — some of which are on this list, while others aren’t — I can say confidently that Jockey’s Seamfree Back Smoothing Bralette isIt’s more comfortable. I don’t even remember that it’s on my body when I wear it, which is the highest compliment I can pay to any In the support department, this is the bralette that comes closest to a bra. It does the lifting and shaping without a wire and doesn’t make my chest look or feel squished in or spilled out from the sides. Though the words “molded cups” remind me of stuffing a training bra for the first time, these are molded just enough for a rounded silhouette that’s not making my big chest seemTechnically, Jockey’s size chart is based on the measurement around your bust line , with sizes S–3X the equivalent to busts that are 32 to 50 inches. It also might be one of the cheaper bras here, but it doesn’tSince I last updated this guide, Parade’s Re:Play Scoop Bralette went through another rebrand. The bra is made from Parade’s new version ofmentioned nylon and elastane). This version feels thinner than the original, but not so thin that you’d worry about it ripping. It’s even better breathability-wise, with the same stripe of mesh at the back of the bra. A big change that’s much appreciated is there areTo ensure you’re getting the right fit, you should check the updated size chart. Parade now offers the bralette in XS to 3XL for sizes 32A to 42G . Otherwise, it really is the same bra. I have had the original for over a year, and the ultrastretchy material didn’t lose its shape — I’ll be checking to see how this one compares more in the coming months . Parade’s bra deserves the title of “best scoop-neck” for all of the reasons above, but another bra I’d be remiss not to mention is thenotes that while the straps are on the narrower side, the underbust band sits flat against the chest without rolling up . Skims also offers one of the widest size ranges I’ve seen, from XXS to 4X, with a number of skin-tone shades. The brand also offers a similar fit in. At full-price, the Skims bra costs about the same as Parade’s, and it sometimes goes on sale at Nordstrom.comfortable. I could fall asleep in it. The bra is unstructured — with no cups, padding, or slings — so it’s not the most lifting . I loved that it offered good coverage — from the smoothing back band to some side support — and that while the V-neck cut shows some cleavage, it’s not at all uncomfortable. Editor’s note: Harper Wilde’s Cloud Cotton Triangle Bralette is currently sold out in some sizes. You can sign up to be emailed when your size is back in stock.brand Spanx is another favorite of Brown’s. She’s had hers for going on four years and says it’s the most comfortable bra she owns without compromising support. “The hardest part about wireless bras is finding the sweet spot of coverage for your cups and snugness in the band,” Brown explains. This one is cut higher on the sides, with a stretchy, no-roll, ribbed band and wider straps. The straps themselves aren’t adjustable, so the bra might not be as lifting as others, but Brown says it holds her up well. A set of removable cups gives you a little extra coverage as needed. The Breast of Both Worlds Bra also has the distinction of being the only bra on this list that’s reversible, hence its punny name, so it’s like you’re getting two bras for the price of one. Adjustable straps with hook-and-eye closures But while other triangle-style cups come with unintended nip slips, these are cut in a way that keeps you held in. As a test, it was the only bralette I wore for a week straight. It wasn’t restrictive in the slightest. It’s available in sizes XS–3X, with sizes XL–3XL designed with wider straps, a higher center, and an additional hook-and-eye closure in the back. And while I haven’t tested it over many months yet, former Strategist writersaying that it’s so thin you won’t see even a hint of its outline. While I like True & Co.’s, I just find that Harper Wilde’s is better-fitting. Plus, Harper Wilde makes the bralette in a bigger range of sizes: XS–4XL range lines up to a 30A to 50C .told me about this Seamless Scoop Bralette from Bombas, which she says checks all the boxes she looks for in a wireless bra: soft, supportive, and sexy. It fits her better than every other wireless bralette she’s tried before: “It holds up the girls while not smushing them together,” she says. This might be because it’s made from a ribbed knit that’s been sewn tighter in the center to help create more support . For comparison’s sake, Zack wears a 42F, which equates to a 2X in Bombas’s size chart . It’s suggested that you size up if you’re in between sizes — sizes 1X and 2X are designed with a wider band than sizes XS/S to L/XL. Because the bra is seamless and padless, Zack says she forgets it’s even on her body. And while there’s a scoop-neck front, it’s notlow. “It weirdly gives me sexy cleavage,” she says. “Not too much, don’t worry.” She hasn’t had a nip slip or underboob spillage in it, either.It may not be the “best overall” anymore, but that’s not to say Cosabella’s Never Say Never is bad. In fact, it’s the best-looking wireless bra I’ve tried . It’s made from an Italian lace that’s lined with mesh, which means you don’t have to worry about your nipples showing through. It’s designed to show some cleavage while still providing enough coverage up top. There are no cups in this bra, but it gives me plenty of lift. It comes in a range of band-and-cup-size combinations, too, plus versions like. Since I’m a 36D, I went with a medium, which should also fit those between a 34DD and a 36F. And while this bra is $80 full-price, the brighter hues are almost always discounted.wireless bra — unstructured, unlined, and ultracomfortable. It won the title of “best mesh wireless bra” in part because of its extensive size range: It comes in sizes 0–5 as well as 1+–5+ . For this reason, Negative’s Sieve edged outwhich is smoothing and good-looking, but only goes up to a size XL and won’t fit those above a 38D. Anello wears a 32DD, but went with the DDD/G sizing of Negative’s “plus” size range to have a little more room. Made of Belgian micromesh, the bra tends to be snug at first, but Anello reports that it relaxes a bit after a few wears. “I felt supported but not flattened,” she adds. One of the sartorial challenges with mesh is its sheerness, but Anello promises that the bra has full coverage so you won’t feel too bare. If you need more convincing, the Sieve was the only bra former Strategist newsletter editorhas been buying since the company went by Davy Piper, before she even became pregnant last year. There’s a version of the bra for B to D cups, and another for E to I cups. Eby, who was a 36H, takes the XL Busty. She wore them all through her pregnancy. “Most wireless bras I’ve tried feel like they cover up my breasts and not much else,” she says. “Usually my bust needs industrial rigging to feel secure, but they’re supportive enough that I feel comfortable swapping them for my usual underwire bras.” In fact, she takes the padding out of the bralettes because they fit better that way.is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.
