Ever feel like your bra is poking you more than it’s supporting you? We, too, have been there, yet somehow we keep holding on — until now. Enter the best wireless bras, the wire-free option that lifts and supports, yet doesn’t make you run home to take it off.
Wireless bras feature no underwire but rely on the cut of the fabric and stitching to provide support and enhance rather than dramatically change your natural shape. Simply put, wireless bras win on comfort because “they tend to have a lighter weight feeling,” says Nordstrom National Fit Director Liisa Thorson. “They aren’t constricting, and they hug your curves while disappearing under clothing.”
Even though wireless bras (or bralettes, as they’re often referred to) tend to weigh less, they can still offer the same benefits as wired alternatives, such as a T-shirt bra. “They give a natural look, gentle support, and breathability, which can have a freeing feeling,” Thorson adds. And don’t think wireless bras are just for smaller chest sizes. Joline and Celine Nehoray, co-founders and owners of Beverly Hills Lingerie assure that anyone from an A to a DD cup size (and beyond) can rock the style. “Proper seaming replaces wires in a way [that helps with] balance and coverage,” Joline explains.
Of course, there is no perfect one-size-fits-all wireless bra, but there are many tried-and-true favorites that let you skip some of the trial and error. Below, find our top 24 wireless bras that will make you feel you’re wearing nothing.

Best Budget Wireless Bra
- Size range: S to 3XL
- Colorways: Black, White, Grey, Nude, Blue
- Materials: 84% nylon, 16% spandex
This under-$18 bra has over 38,000 reviews on Amazon. The pullover style is made from Hanes signature Comfort Blend fabric, that’s a mix of soft cotton and polyester. It comes with built-in padding that, along with the flexible foam cups, provides shape and comfort. The seamless fabric is invisible under clothes, and the V-shape neckline makes it easy to wear with low-cut tops.
What reviewers say: “This is so comfortable. I don’t want to take it off, and that’s saying a lot. It’s super breathable, stretchy, and fits very well. It’s invisible even under the thinnest of shirts. Overall, great buy! I will definitely be getting more.”
True & Co. True Body V-Neck Bralette
Best Wireless Bra for Big Busts
- Size range: XS to XL
- Colorways: Mink, Black, Aqua, Bronzed, and 12 other colors
- Materials: 77% nylon, 23% elastane
Thorson dubs this bralette one of her favorites. The simple silhouette slips on over your head for easy on/off access. “It has wider straps and a V-neck, so it accommodates a fuller bust. It truly feels like butter on the body,” Thorson describes. The thin pads in the bust are easily removable but good to keep for anyone who wants a little more nipple coverage.
What reviewers say: “As someone who runs hot, the thin, breathable fabric is ideal.”
Floatley Cozy Adjustable Bra
Best Seamless Wireless Bra
- Size range: XS to XXL
- Colorways: Adobe Rose, Sand, Galaxy Blue, and 10 other shades
- Materials: 72% nylon, 28% spandex
Floatley’s bestselling seamless bra is made of a soft nylon spandex fabric that feels light as air against the skin. The embedded built-in cup pads are a plus for many buyers (since they’re not removable, they don’t crinkle up or get lost in the wash). Not to mention, the molded pads offer a natural-looking, flattering shape. And although it’s lightweight, it still has plenty of lifting power. Even D-cup reviewers rave that it still provides the support they need.
What reviewers say: “Three time breast cancer survivor here. Have now had a double mastectomy and I’m very picky about comfort and support. Each reconstructed breast is different, mastectomy‘s happened over a 20 year span. So it’s important to me that I have as much symmetry as possible and the foam cups allow that… And also allow me to wear T-shirts without feeling awkward. I like the band that has three hooks, and I also like the straps that are easily adjustable.”
Glamorise Full-Figure Plus Size MagicLift Original Wirefree Support Bra
Best Full-Figure Wireless Bra
- Size range: 36B to 56J
- Colorways: Black, White, Blue, Blush, and 7 other shades
- Materials: 50% polyamide, 40% polyester, 10% elastane
This Glamorise option supports fuller figures, with sizes ranging from 36B to 56J. The hook-and-eye closure in the back allows you to customize your fit, while wide, cushioned straps help ease pressure on your shoulders. The brand’s signature Magic Lift design supports the bust without a wire, using a cushioned construction, cross stitching and a reinforced inner bust band for all-day comfort. The lace detail bra comes in 12 pretty colors that range from white to burgundy.
What reviewers say: “This is a very light weight bra and nice for a weekend change from firmer wire bras. Wide straps that don’t dig into your shoulders plus higher sides that provide good side boob coverage. For large chested women, however, provides very little support but it’s a relief from tight, painful wire bras.”
Hanky Panky Signature Lace Crossover Bralette
Best Lace Wireless Bra
- Size range: XS to L
- Colorways: Chai, Black, Navy
- Materials: 100% nylon
The biggest selling point of this bra is that it’s lacy without being itchy. The super soft bra comes in Hanky Panky’s infamous stretch lace that’s 100% touchable nylon. The straps are adjustable and the trim has just a bit of stretch that allows the bra to hug your curves just right. Just a note: It’s best suited for smaller breast sizes that aren’t looking for a major lift.
What reviewers say: “I can’t be happier: It’s not only super comfortable, but also looks so cute and sexy.”
Wacoal How Perfect Wire Free T-Shirt Bra
Best Padded Wireless Bra
- Size range: 32B to 34DDD
- Colorways: Black, Eclipse, Fudgesickle, and 9 other shades
- Materials: 81% nylon, 19% spandex
Courtesy of Wacoal, this soft brushed nylon bra works best for a smaller bust because of the significant padding in the cups. Because the cups are foam-lined, they smooth and shape without wires. “The cup has no seams and works well underneath a t-shirt or sweater,” Thorson suggests. Another noteworthy feature: Plenty of reviewers praise the soft fabric band that doesn’t dig in or create unwanted rolls on your back.
What reviewers say: “I’ve had to down size from previous that I have bought in this same line and manufacturer. I love this bra. Won’t buy any other.”
Natori Bliss Perfection Bralette
Best Wireless Bras for DD Cups and Larger
- Size range: 32B to 36DDD
- Colorways: Ballerina, Currant, Black
- Materials: 62% nylon, 38% elastane
Customers are sold by this bra because it looks and feels like a high-impact sports bra but has the support of a regular bra. “I love this Bliss Perfection bralette, as it has super buttery fabric, is actually bra sized and has adjustable straps,” Thorson says. The back of the bra is wider than most, so it smooths out what one reviewer with DD breasts calls “the dreaded back fat dilemma.” And, it’s undetectable under tees and tank tops.
Cosabella Women’s Say Never Curvy Sweetie Bralette
- Size range: XXS to XL
- Colorways: Navy Blue, Blush, Rani Pink, and over 10 more shades
- Materials: 93% polyamide, 7% elastane
Think of this lacy Cosabella racerback as an upgraded sports bra. It was specifically designed for DD cups and up. It’s actually an updated take on the brand’s bestselling Never Say Never bralette. What makes it different is the supportive hook-and-eye back closure and wide adjustable straps. It’s made of the brand’s super Italian stretch and non-sheer scalloped lace. Additionally, it comes in a range of colors, including blue, black and nude.
What reviewers say: “I was looking for something comfortable to wear on a flight. This fits the bill perfectly! When I looked at it initially, I thought no way is this going to fit! But it fits perfectly and plenty of support!”
Spanx Bra-llelujah! Unlined Bralette
Best Unlined Wireless Bra
- Size range: XS to XL
- Colorways: Antique Blue, Chestnut Brown, Sangria, and five more colors
- Materials: 72% nylon, 28% spandex
The Nehorays call this Spanx bra a must-have for your intimates drawer. Much like the brand’s iconic smoothing underwear, this patented fabric smooths, and the trademarked Spanx Smart Stretch straps sit softly on shoulders and don’t dig into the skin. The style comes in an array of skin-toned neutrals so that the bra blends right in under any white or light-colored clothing items.
What reviewers say: “So padding at all. Just super soft fabric, so nips show when hard. Other then that so comfortable. Can’t even tell your wearing a bra.”

Best Nursing Wireless Bra
- Size range: S to XXL

- Materials: 70% recycled nylon, 20% virgin nylon, 10% spandex
New moms have only good things to say about this wire-free and seamless nursing bra from Bravado! Designs. The soft-as-silk stretch fabric is key. It also comes with flexible, removable foam cups that provide a natural shape and help to maximize lift without compression.
What reviewers say: “I love how the bra is stretchy and covers the range of two cup sizes, [which is] great since you can fluctuate a bit in the beginning.”
Tom Ford Stretch-Modal Jersey Soft-Cup Triangle Bra
Best Wireless Jersey Bra
- Size range: XXS to XL
- Colorways: Black
- Materials: 97% modal, 3% elastane
If you’re looking for a going-out bra that you actually want to show off in public, Tom Ford has got you covered. This simple logo bra is the casual upgrade your intimates wardrobe is missing. It’s made of a cozy jersey stretch material that feels just like your favorite lived in T-shirt. The supportive underband has just enough stretch to feel secure and features the brand’s iconic branding across the center. Wear the triangle top lounging around at home or under an oversized jacket out and about.
Fleur Du Mal Luxe Triangle Bra
Best Silk Wireless Bra
- Size range: XS to L
- Colorways: Black, Vixen, Pop Cherry, and 7 other shades
- Materials: 92% silk, 8% elastane
The Nehorays love Fleur du Mal for its feminine, dainty pieces. The label’s bestselling triangle bra is made from stretchy silk satin; it has thin spaghetti straps and a smooth band that gives it a finished look. The bra can be worn by itself or as a sexy top under a blazer or white t-shirt. No matter which shade you pick, from black to aquamarine, it’s a good investment piece.
La Perla Souple Triangle Bra
Best Wireless Bra for Small Breasts
- Size range: 32B to 38B
- Colorways: Black, Nude
- Materials: Cotton, nylon, elastane
La Perla’s delicate lace triangle bra is gorgeous on, particularly if you have a smaller cup size. The soft-cup triangle bra is blended with a hint of elastane stretch, so it doesn’t gap against your skin. Dainty lace details compose both of the triangle cups, and the thin band matches the straps. Whether you choose nude or black, this is a classic bralette you’ll wear again and again.
Skims Fits Everybody Scoop Neck Bra
Best Scoop Neck Wireless Bra
- Size range: XXS to 4X
- Colorways: 12 classic and 5 limited-edition shades
- Materials: 76% polyamide, 24% elastane
“Skims [pieces] are super comfortable while not compromising on look or feel,” Celine says. This scoop neck shelf bra lifts and enhances, even for bustier women. The nylon-spandex fabric gives a smooth, seamless look under clothing (and is even comfortable enough to wear to bed).
What reviewers say: One reviewer with a 36D chest says, “I have a really difficult time finding anything without wire that will support me and to be comfortable, [and] this does the trick.”
Free People Ali Low-Back Seamless Bra
- Size range: XS/S to ML
- Colorways: White, Deep Olive, Sand, and 10 other shades
- Materials: 92% nylon, 87% spandex
When the weather heats up, longline bralettes have become a popular alternative to tank tops. This ribbed option is constructed from nylon and spandex, meaning it’s stretchy enough to move with you through the day. The seamless style also comes in a range of core and seasonal colors so you can match it to your mood or outfit.
What reviewers say: “I love this! It has the perfect amount of stretch and makes me feel very secure but not constricted. I have multiple colors already and now I want more.”
Eberjey Pima Stretch Cotton Bralette
Best Cotton Wireless Bra
- Size range: XS/S to L/XL
- Colorways: Mocha, Fudge, Buff, and three other colors
- Materials: 47% Pima cotton, 46% cotton, 7% spandex
This cloud-soft pima cotton bra from Eberjey is made with a bit of spandex, so the thin fabric softly molds to your skin. Not only that, but the fabric is breathable and hypoallergenic, so it’s a good pick for sensitive skin. The soft cups are tethered by an elastic band that gently hugs your rib cage without digging into your sides. It’s available in sizes from extra-small to extra-large, but might be a better choice for smaller breast sizes since there’s not a ton of support.

Calvin Klein Effortless Motion Lightly Lined Demi Bra
- Size range: XS to XL
- Colorways: Black, Barely Pink
- Materials: 75% nylon, 25% elastane
Calvin Klein arguably makes the best underwear in the business, so it comes as no surprise that its bras are equally notable.

Plus, it has a breathable center front mesh and elastic straps that let you adjust them for a custom fit. Buyers can’t seem to get enough of this style.
What reviewers say: “The construction is high quality with good support. The styling is really ingenious — you wouldn’t expect a bra sized in S-M-L to fit the whole range of band and cup sizes, but it apparently does!”

It’s not often that a bra goes viral on TikTok, but when it does, it’s worth noting. The Gatherall Bra, with 271 thousand views and counting, is the latest fashion item to be buzzed about — and for good reasons. This wireless, strapless, backless, washable, and reusable bra is changing the game when it comes to sticky bras. While it’s super thin, it has a gradient thickness to create a flattering shape.

Beverly Hills Lingerie Engima Bralette

What to Look for in the Best Wireless Bras
- Style: When shopping for the best wireless bra, consider whether you are styling it for day or night and if you prefer unlined, padded, or molded cups. Depending on your cup size and intended purpose, you have options. “There are wireless bralettes, sports bras, T-shirt bras, push-up bras, full-coverage bras, and many more, Thorson says. “Wireless bras with padding or contouring work well for a smaller bust, whereas full-coverage wireless bras are suited for fuller-busted women. They also often feature other supportive details like molded cups and adjustable straps.” Wireless bras are also available in both lined and unlined styles. “[Lined styles] give better coverage, a better lift, and still melt onto the skin,” Celine says. Unlined styles tend to be sheerer and give less support.
- Features: Specific bra features such as adjustable bands and convertible and removable straps should also be top of mind when shopping for the best wireless bras. Wireless bras with adjustable and convertible straps let you customize the fit to your liking and solve fashion dilemmas. These adjustable and detachable straps can be rearranged in various ways, including cross-back, halter, strapless, or one strap on either shoulder — so you’ll have the perfect wireless bra for every outfit.
- Size and fit: Most importantly, make sure the size and fit are best for your body size and shape. However, “be open to trying on something that might look like it won’t have enough coverage or lift for you,” Joline suggests. “Things always look different when they’re off you, especially products that are made to mold and melt seamlessly into your skin.” Also, be sure not to buy too big. “If you buy it too big, it will stretch out quickly and not offer any support,” Thorson warns.
- Materials: Similar to fit, the fabric is a key component in determining a wireless bra’s comfort level. While wireless bras come in various materials, “the most popular fabrics you’ll see are nylon, elastane, cotton, modal, spandex, polyamide, and lycra,” Thorson says. “These tend to be softer and stretch across the bust and band for immense comfort.”
