Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A T-shirt bra filed as "bounce-proof approved." I.e., reviewers swear that this intimates drawer staple is comfy, cute, and supportive.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "Very soft material and very supportive. Perfect balance between comfy and keeping the girls secure." —MaryM 

Price: $47+ (available in band sizes 30–40, cup sizes DD–I, and 14 patterns/colors) 

2. An unlined balconette that looks delicate and dainty *but* has darted underwire cups for an extra layer of support and lift.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "Great bra and worth the money! Fits great and gives a good lift with amazing support. This was a great find." —Amy

Price: $33+ (available in band sizes 32–40, cup sizes A–H, and three patterns/colors) 

3. A high-impact sports bra that scoffs in the face of that HIIT workout. So long, layering on two sports bras at once to prevent the ~jiggle~. This is your new reliable one-and-done.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "Best support in a sports bra I’ve ever had. My favorite bra out there." —Kelsey M.

Price: $79 (available in band sizes 28–40, cup sizes B–J, and in 10 colors/patterns).

4. A plunge bra designed with a U-back and reinforced side panels to provide optimal support and prevent any ~spillage~ — i.e., this will keep everything firmly in place through coffee shop runs and morning commutes. No adjusting required.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "PERFECTION! Love the style, support, colors, and all-day comfort. And it's sexy, too. I already own four with more coming in the future, I'm sure." —Tina R. 

Price: $72 (available in band sizes 32–46, cup sizes DD–K, and 12 colors/patterns) 

5. A seamless lifting bra because let me repeat the key word here: seamless. This remains invisible under any tops (including tanks and thin T-shirts) thanks to a smooth, patterned mesh.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "Love this bra! I have four now. It's comfortable and provides enough coverage (no nipple action showing) without extra padding, which I don't care for. Smooth under a T-shirt. Not too hot. All around perfect for me!" —Cheryl B. 

Price: $50.40+ (available in band sizes 32–42, cup sizes C–H, and seven colors) 

6. An actually good strapless bra because life's too short to avoid wearing halter tops and strapless dresses. Hidden underwire, silicone grippers, and a hint of padding mean your bra won't have fallen to the bottom of your rib cage by the end of the night.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "It is soft, has support, and is comfortable. It fits well and holds the breast with a good fit." —lajuliet

Price: $72 (available in band sizes 34–44, cup sizes DD–J, and in two colors)

7. A wire-free bralette designed with a second skin feel that's so comfortable, you won't want to fling it off the second you get home. In fact, this *will* be worn all the time. Willingly.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "As a 34H, I find that other bralettes give me a uni-boob and offer zero support. This perfect piece gives me both support and comfort. A great 'day off' bra when you are looking for something a little more than just going bra-free." —Kat

Price: $68 (available in band sizes 36–44, cup sizes F–J, and two colors) 

8. A satin bra so comfortable, over 900 reviewers felt compelled to write a 🌟 glowing 🌟 review. This perfect basic has stretchy straps and paneled sides for ultimate support, *and* it is available in a ton of vibrant colors.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "Love this bra! Perfect fit, sturdy. Strong and supportive! Just what I need, and still pretty!" —Angela

Price: $54 (available in band sizes 34–46, cup sizes DD–N, and in 10 colors)

9. A T-shirt bra constructed with seamless underwire cups and built-in inner slings to provide structure, spacing, and subtle lift. In plain English? This is the perfect everyday undergarment.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "Best bra I have ever owned. The only bras I have bought over the last eight years!" —Tambra M. 

Price: $65 (available in band sizes 30–46, cup sizes C–G, and in five colors) 

10. A demi T-shirt bra about to become the mid-rise black leggings of your intimates drawer — aka you'll be wearing it with alarming frequency (think: every single day).

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "The underwire doesn’t dig in at all and it’s overall very comfy. It’s my new staple!" —Libby

Price: $32+ (originally $52; available in band sizes 30–40, cup sizes A–H, and in seven colors) 

11. A minimizer bra with a minimizing effect of up to one inch, all while seamless molded cups provide subtle support (without compromising comfort).

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "This is absolutely my favorite bra I have ever owned. I am 56 and wear a 42H and have suffered with awful bras my entire life. This one is soft, supportive, and I hardly notice that I am wearing it! I have five so far and don’t ever want to wear anything else." —MJ

Price: $62 (available in band sizes 30–42, cup sizes D–I, and in 13 colors)  

12. A high-impact sports bra that is, in a word, perfect. We're talking front adjustable straps, a wide under-band, and racerback for maximum support. Plus, it features band and cup sizing for a more tailored fit.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "Awesome sports bra. I find myself wearing it around the house because it is so supportive and keeps them out of my way. At the gym, I don’t have to worry about the girls AT ALL. Highly recommended by a GG-cup gal." —Vera

Price: $86 (available in band sizes 34–46, cup sizes DD–K, and in four colors)

13. An unlined plunge bra because who says comfort and support can't go hand-in-hand? A U-back and four-hook closure prevent slippage *and* it remains comfy enough to sleep in.

Bare Necessities

Promising reviews: "It's comfortable and cool. I can't stand a hot bra in the summer! Nice and thin, but still holds the ladies up." —Angelica

Price: $16.99+ (available in band sizes 32–40, cup sizes DD–I, and three colors)
