Bralettes That Work as Tops Too

A bralette occupies this brilliant space between lingerie and outerwear and we've fully committed to wearing them as actual tops. With high waisted trousers, under a sheer top, peeking out of a blazer. The ones we love are the ones with enough structure to look intentional and enough comfort to wear all day without thinking about it. These are the bralettes we'd actually buy for both purposes. The wearing-out ones and the wearing-under ones. Often the same ones, honestly.

Bralettes as Outerwear for Smart Casual Dressing

Wearing a bralette as a top in a smart casual context requires a specific kind of bralette and a specific approach to the rest of the outfit. The bralette needs to have enough structure and coverage to read as outerwear rather than visible underwear. The outfit needs to give it the right context. A tailored blazer over a silk bralette with wide leg trousers is a smart and considered outfit. A lace bralette under a sheer blouse works because the layering creates context. These are the bralettes that have been chosen specifically because they cross the line from underwear to outerwear successfully in the right styling context.

Bralettes for Larger Cup Sizes That Actually Work

Most bralettes are designed with smaller cup sizes in mind and the larger cup size bralette that provides genuine support and looks as good as its smaller size counterparts is a specific and underserved category worth knowing about. The construction needs to be significantly more substantial to provide the same relative support. The fabric needs enough stretch and recovery to accommodate the size without distorting the shape. And the design needs to be as considered as the smaller size options rather than a scaled up version of the same thing. These are the larger cup size bralettes that actually work rather than just existing in the right size range.

Sports Bralettes That Look as Good as They Perform

A sports bralette that provides enough support for low to medium impact activity and also looks good enough to wear as a top outside the gym is a specific and increasingly well served category. The ones that earn their place on both counts have construction that keeps everything in place during movement and design that reads as intentional outerwear rather than just gym kit. Worn with high waisted leggings or under an open shirt they have a versatility that makes them one of the most useful pieces in a casual wardrobe. These are the sports bralettes worth buying for both the gym and everything that follows it.
