Best Bra Recommendations

I have been asked about the best bras for any occasion or bust size. Finding a good bra is essential and it can feel nearly impossible to find one that fits your body perfectly, work well with your wardrobe choices and most importantly is comfortable.

I had polled the community two years ago on best bras, but since there are a lot more of you now and this is a frequent request I decided to crowd source the topic again! One big piece of feedback that was shared was that it is so helpful to go in person and get sized for a well fitting bra. Many of you shared that you were surprised and had been buying ill fitting bras for years before you did this!


Best Everyday Bra for Small and Medium Chests

Soma Enbliss Wireless - This was by far the number one recommendation for everyday bras! I am a Soma fan and love all of the styles within the Enbliss collection! This bra is well known for its wireless, soft fabrication, and offers perfect coverage with no gaps. Everyone was commenting saying it felt like they were wearing nothing at all! It comes in a ton of colors and sizes for the perfect fit.

Aerie Real Sunnie Wireless Bra - this bra is Aerie's #1 style and so many of you said it is amazing for comfort and is wireless but still offers good shape and support because it is lightly lined. Shop all Sunnie Styles here.

Neiwai Barely Zero Fixed Cup Bra - This was tied with the Aerie Sunnie Bra and people love the technology behind the bra (Flo Support and Bisous Cups) as it provides greater support and comfort. Flo support is the lower band that is lined with silicone to improve breathability and comfort. And the Bisous Cups are crease resistant and hug your curves! If you're in between sizes, it is recommended sizing up. This bra also won the poll for best sewn-in cups option!


Best Everyday Bra for Large Chests

Natori Zone Full Fit Bra - This brand was recommended as the best bra for large chests! While the brand itself was raved about, this is their best selling bra for larger chests because it flatters your figure without compromising comfort. Adjustable straps, a flat bonded hook and eye for a near invisible look under clothes and full coverage to minimize any bulging. Shop all Natori styles here.

Soma Enbliss Bra - This bra seems to be universal in that it fits both small, medium and large chests well! This bra is well known for its wireless, soft fabrication, and offers perfect coverage with no gaps. It comes in a ton of colors and band widths ranges up to 42 and DDD for the perfect fit.


Best Strapless Bra

Wacoal Red Carpet (Wired) - If you are looking for a wired option, this smooth bra offers support with light padding and was the top recommendation for strapless from the community! This also comes in a wide range of sizes, from band widths 32 to 44 and B to I cup sizes.

Soma Stay-Put (Wireless) - Much like the other Enbliss options, this was a crowd favorite for a wireless option. This Soma bra is the epitome of optimal comfort with no wire and a plush fabric that will hold you up. It also offers versatility with removable, adjustable straps so you can wear it 5 ways: strapless, halter, crisscross back, traditional, and one shoulder. I personally own this bra and it lives up to the hype, it never falls down or dig into you.


Best Sports Bra for Small and Medium Chests

Lululemon Like a Cloud - this soft foam bra is great for those with smaller chests as it has no annoying inserts and is so comfortable you will want to work out and stay in it all day. The soft moulded foam cups make it breathable and the fabric wicking technology enables quick drying for optimal comfort. It was recommended to size up by a few in this style!

Under Armour Low Impact Seamless Bra - This was the runner up in this category! It is great for low impact and everyday wear, its seamless fabrication makes it really soft and comfortable to wear, has removable cups and adjustable straps! It comes in over 30 colors and sizes XS-3X.


Best Sports Bra for Large Chests

Shefit Ultimate Sports Bra - for those with bigger chests, feeling supported in anything from a low to high impact activity is critical. This brand was developed by a gal who was sick of having to double up on bras to feel confident and comfortable, so many of you recommend it too and for good reason - there are over 40,000 reviews that echo all the same sentiments. This comes in over ten colors, and a wide range of sizes from XXS- 6Luxe! Shop all Shefit styles here.


Best Bra for Lounge/Comfort

Aerie Bralettes -Aerie bralettes were hands down the number one recommendation when it came to best comfort or lounge bras! They have so many different styles to choose from, from classic cotton, to lace, to seamless to ribbed, and removable cups! So many choices that suit both your comfort and style.

Soma Enbliss Racerback Bralette - The Enbliss collection at Soma is clearly a community favorite, showing up in almost every category! This bra is perfect on the days where you want pure comfort! The soft lace back detail is both feminine and smooth. With a versatile v-neck it gives you the ability to wear multiple necklines, and the wireless, removable pads and adjustable straps all make this the ultimate bralette. Shop all Enbliss Bralettes here.


Best Nursing and Pumping Bra

Target Auden Seamless Nursing Bra - The amount of love for this bra topped any bra and category I polled you all on. This is a very affordable option and the top feature you all love is that there are sewn in cups! This is my personal favorite nursing bra that I wish I owned with my first two kids it is SO good. #paidlink

Kindred Bravely Nursing Sleep Bra - You don't realize when you are nursing that you will likely want and need to wear a bra 24/7. This sleep bra is extra comfortable and provides that light support you need at all times. Shop on Kindred site here.

Kindred Bravely Nursing Sports Bra - This bra is great for low impact activities and made of moisture wicking fabric so you can work out comfortably and nurse while wearing it.

Kindred Bravely Sublime Hands Free Pumping & Nursing Bra - Pumping can feel like a full time job, so a hands free pumping bra is essential! No need to switch out your bra when you have to pump, this bra converts for either nursing or pumping! After having my third child and using this bra I will say it is a bit bulkier than I expected, however, if you are pumping non stop this is a game changer.
