From bralettes to balconettes, our women's bras lift, sculpt and enhance your shape.

Explore what’s new – including our super fresh colour palette – today. Your tees, but better Fabric: Do you have sensitive skin? Finding the right fabric might be the make or break point for you. A seamless bra, or one with a soft fabric like cotton or microfibre, can help anyone with particularly sensitive skin. A T-shirt bra is good for daily use. It is seamless with smooth cups and can be worn comfortably under your regular casuals.

Luciani adds, "Obvious signs of wear and tear such as crushed cups, bent underwire, stretched out straps, broken or bent clasps and when the material loses its elasticity — all good signs it’s time to toss. Other signs that are maybe not so obvious are if it suddenly seems big or it’s not holding you up the way it should be! That may mean it’s time to replace." Bralettes and bramisoles (padded bust camisoles) are the most comfortable bras. They can be worn under any top at home while hosting a casual gathering or while attending business meetings online. They are also comfortable enough to wear to sleep. But they provide the bare minimum support and are not ideal for rigorous physical activities.

Fantasie Fusion: The most comfortable full-cup braWe get quite excited when we walk into a lingerie store to buy intimates. It feels great to wear lingerie that is not only sensuous but also smooth on the skin. However, it is not all that rosy for everyone, especially for someone with big busts above DD. And disappointment is a regular part of shopping for some of us. We have to look for bras that give full coverage and support. This bra proves you don’t have to sacrifice support to go strapless. In fact, it had higher scores from our testers than many of the non-strapless styles we analyzed. It uses silicone strips along the top of the cup and on the band that help it stay in place as you move, and it features wide side panels with boning for more stability and smoothing benefits. Our testers said the bra was comfortable, but a few online reviewers noted that although the bra stayed put, the silicone strips and boning dug in. Full cup: Out of all the options, a full cup bra will give you the smoothest outline beneath your clothes. As the name suggests, it covers the entirety of the breast. The downside is that as the cups come up so high, they show under anything even remotely low-cut. Emma Cooke, junior buyer at Figleaves, recommends full cups to those looking for “more support and more coverage” from their lingerie, with larger cup sizes finding this the most comfortable shape.

Bra for tank top: push-up bras look great with tank tops and form-fitting dresses, especially if you want to enhance your silhouette and add cleavage.This style earned the top spot in our tests and our panel, including those with both small and large cup sizes, rated it the most comfortable bra of the bunch. On top of that, it proved to be durable in our Lab testing; it washed well and retained its shape even after we stretched it out. In fact, it's the bra our own experts have preferred to wear for years, even after trying dozens of styles on the market.

A bra with side support works in one of two ways to eliminate this spillage. One is an extra strip of fabric that runs beside the cup. The Fantasie Illusion uses the other method: a three-panel cup. The bra has an extra panel on the outer edge of each cup that runs the full length of the cup, from the band to the strap.

We washed this bra five times in the Lab and noticed minimal changes in appearance, though the brand recommends hand washing this style for best results over time.

Asymmetric: If your breasts are different sizes, you're not alone—around 40 percent of women who experience ThirdLove's Virtual Fitting Room classify themselves as having this breast shape, Cohen says. She recommends a bra that has removable inserts, so you can incorporate an insert on one side to give your smaller breast a boost.

What else do I have to consider when shopping for a bra? Cup shape: You know your cup size, but what cup shape works best for you? Full coverage and medium coverage cups offer comfort and support but may just be too much fabric for some people. Plunge bras with triangle cups may be your ideal fit, or they may not hold you up the way you need. Round: While most styles may work for your shape, try a wireless bra for days when you want light support or balconette style when you want an ultra-flattering fit. Searching for your perfect bra can feel like a never-ending journey. For starters, there are so many styles to choose from — strapless, bralettes, wireless and more with differences in padding, closures and support.
