The 7 Best, Most Comfortable Bras of 2025

Underwire bras

If you want an affordable, smoothing bra that comes in lots of colors: The Aerie Smoothez Full Coverage Lightly Lined Bra is made of a soft, nylon-elastane material with smooth, barely visible seams. It has supportive underwire and an adjustable band, and it comes in cup sizes from A to G, band sizes from 30 to 42 inches, and more than a dozen colors.

If you want a sexy, splurgy lace bra: The Journelle Anais Plunge Bra is a pricey, exquisitely beautiful bra wrapped in fine Leavers lace (one of the most expensive types of lace). It has a kitten-soft velveteen lining, and it’s as supportive as it is beautiful, though it can get a little itchy. This bra used to be an official pick, but it comes in a limited range of band sizes, from 30 to 36, and although its cup sizing goes up to a G, the largest cup size available with a 36-inch band is a D. We also found that it runs small.

If you want a sheer mesh bra with support: Like our Negative Sieve Non-Wire Bra pick, the Negative Sieve Demi Bra is made from fine, airy mesh material—but this version offers the extra lift of an underwire. Though we preferred the ease of the wire-free version, the Sieve Demi Bra is still stretchy and surprisingly comfortable. It flattered a variety of breast shapes in our testing, but its sizing (B to G cup, 32- to 40-inch band) is a little limited.

If you want to stock up on everyday bras from a favorite brand: ThirdLove, creator of our ThirdLove 24/7 Classic Uplift Plunge Bra pick, has a knack for making bras that we like. The ThirdLove 24/7 Perfect Coverage Bra is a full-coverage bra with wide, sturdy straps, while the ThirdLove 24/7 Classic T-Shirt Bra is a lightweight, everyday bra with pleated straps. Neither felt quite as versatile as the 24/7 Classic Uplift bra, but they’re both well-made, supportive, soft, and comfortable. They’re available in a wide range of sizes: The Perfect Coverage bra comes in B to H cup sizes and a 32- to 44-inch band, while the Classic T-Shirt bra ranges from A to H cup and from 32 to 44 inches.

Wire-free bras

If you want a pull-on T-shirt bra that offers light shaping: The Aerie Sunnie Wireless Lightly Lined Bra delivers the shaping and definition of a more structured bra but feels more like a bralette. Without an underwire, hooks, or visible seams, it lies flat and doesn’t show under formfitting clothing. This bra was a former pick, but in subsequent tests we’ve found that it’s not supportive enough for large breasts, and the non-adjustable and not particularly stretchy band can feel tight and uncomfortable. It comes in four colors (including only one light shade of nude), cup sizes from A to DDD, and band sizes from 30 to 40 inches.

If you want a selection of basic, comfortable, and inexpensive wire-free bras: The stretchy, unstructured Bali Comfort Revolution ComfortFlex Fit 2-Ply Wireless Bra, the pull-on Bali Comfort Revolution Easylite Wireless Bralette (also called the Easylite Wirefree Bra), and the adjustable, softly shaping Bali Double Support Wireless Bra (now in a moisture-wicking nylon/spandex “Cool Comfort” fabric, which we haven’t yet tried), are the height of comfort. They’re supple and soft, so they’re perfect for lounging, and they come in many colors and sizes. However, they’re a bit dowdy compared with our wire-free picks.

If you want a cute and comfy lace bralette that comes in a wide range of sizes: The Cosabella Never Say Never Sweetie Bralette comes in petite, curvy, super curvy, ultra curvy, and extended sizes (to fit cup sizes A to L and band sizes 28 to 40 inches) and myriad colors, and it is one of the most comfortable lace bras we tested. Although the band is wire-free and non-adjustable, the bralette’s broader-than-average straps provide a surprising amount of support. We preferred the shapes of our bralette picks, which provide more lift, but this one remains a solid option.

If you want a smoothing, adjustable bra with gently molded cups: Put on the Natori Bliss Perfection Contour Soft Cup Bra, and you’ll forget you’re wearing it—it’s terrific. Across the board, our testers enjoyed this bra’s smoothing double-layered fabric, ballet back, and gently contoured cups, which produced a flattering silhouette. Alas, the lace wasn’t attached securely enough to the band; during testing, we noticed that it started to pull away from the bra. This bra is available in four colors, but its sizing (A to DDD cup, 30- to 38-inch band) is fairly limited.

If you want a stretchy, seamless bralette with removable padding: The True & Co. True Body Lift Scoop Neck Bra has a shape that flatters numerous body types, as well as removable padding in the cups, but we wish it had an adjustable band and straps. It’s made of a stretchy, liquid-like fabric that has few seams, making it especially comfortable to wear.

If you want an ultrasoft, gently boosting push-up bra (that’s inexplicably headed for extinction): The True & Co. True Body Wirefree Push Up Bra was a previous pick for the best push-up bra. Unfortunately, it’s being phased out, but it’s still available on Amazon at this writing. (So get to steppin’.) This comfortable, wire-free push-up doesn’t create dramatic cleavage, but it lifts and highlights curves without feeling corset-like. Its padded cups are pillowy soft, and its silky-smooth material conforms seamlessly to the body. It comes in cup sizes from A to DDD and band sizes from 32 to 36.
