“Once you slip it on, it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a bra at all”
Photo: GraphicaArtis/Getty Images When I wear a bra, I spend the whole day eager to get home and sling it right off. Some days I feel constricted enough to secretly de-bra, right there in the office. The politics and social norms of bra-wearing are part of another conversation, for another time. For now I will just say: in my 29 years on earth, I’ve never met a woman who downright loves the existence of bras, even a well-fitting one.
The Free New Bralette is like a lightweight sports bra in shape and a really soft T-shirt in feel. Like a fitted crop top that I wear under shirts. It gently hugs your boobs but won’t cut into your back, arm, or shoulder skin like most underwire bras and sports bras, for that matter. And this bralette, unlike most, isn’t just for smaller-breasted among us. I’m in the C-cup range and have no complaints.
As an added bonus: In this current era of sportier, modest fashion, the black bralette also feels pretty sexy. And it doesn’t have any hooks and eyes that someone might fumble with. No snaps. No nothing. This thing feels like nothing, and then comes off all in one swoop. That’s something everyone can enjoy.

Since learning about them six years ago, I’ve come to rely on Jockey’s fabric hugs. After a long day at work punctuated by crowded subway cars and heavy grocery bags, I go home and put them on immediately.

The news of the killing—in which a white police officer kneeled on Floyd’s neck as he told officers repeatedly he could not breathe—followed a highly publicized incident in New York City that same day when an entitled white woman named Amy Cooper called 911 on black bird watcher Christian Cooper. In the exhausting rush of news about casual racism and police brutality, the experience of seeing yet another black man killed by police officers, Star Wars actor John Boyega tweeted his frank feelings: “I really fucking hate racists,” he wrote.\n
