What is a bralette?

Bralettes tend to be non-wired and give lighter support than a regular bra, but we also offer wired styles that give the look of a bralette but with the support those of us blessed with big boobs look for.

The majority of bralettes have an element of the “unstructured” about them – at least in terms of look - but they range from non-wired to underwired and from cotton crop tops to lovely lace styles. Our bralette collection features all kinds of guises, shapes, and sizes, so you’ll be sure to find one that works for you.

How are you supposed to wear bralettes?

Whether you’re looking for a supportive bralette or something more relaxed, there’s plenty of options so Bravissimo girls can embrace the bralette trend. With lots of non-wired and wired styles to choose from that offer the coverage and support that those of us with big boobs look for, whether you’re looking for an athleisure-inspired crop top or a pretty lace style, you can choose the right bralette for you based on whatever makes you feel confident and amazing. The only thing to decide is whether you want to rock them as outerwear or keep them under wraps just for you!

Are bralettes good for large breasts?

Bravissimo girls can wear bralettes too! Depending on what level of support you’re looking for, there’s a different bralette option for you that supports those of us blessed with bigger boobs! If it’s for everyday wear, then you could try a wired style that gives the look of a bralette (but doesn’t compromise on any of the support). If it’s for lounging around the house, then there’s plenty of comfortable non-wired bralette styles to choose from too – we love to give you options, Bravissimo girls!

Bralettes such as Flora are great for lounging in as they have lighter support, are non-wired and are comfortable too, so they’re a good option for when you’re relaxing at home. Zara has proven to be a super popular style thanks to its comfort, support and pretty lace details (and it even has a normal bra fastening at the back so it’s easy to get into!).

Bralette vs Bra: which is best?

Many people think that the difference between a bra and a bralette is based on the level of support offered, with the misconception that a bralette is less supportive. But that’s simply not the case! You’ll notice that some bras can be seamless without wires, but there’s also underwire bralette styles for when you want more support from a bralette. So when weighing up your bralette vs bra options, your choice should be based entirely on your personal preferences - only you know what works for you and your boobs.

We’re all about giving you options, and embracing the bralette trend gives the Bravissimo community even more styles, shapes, and colours to choose from. We’re continuing to source and develop options that work for big boobed people – watch this space, and keep telling us what you think about our bralettes because we can’t do this without you. As always, if you ever need any advice about this style (or others) – please get in touch with us...we’d be super happy to hear from you.
