These Bras Are So Comfortable, You Might Actually Want to Keep Them On

We get it: Finding a comfortable (and, ideally, attractive) bra is hard. Maybe not quite as difficult as solving the Saturday New York Times crossword puzzle or finding a rent-stabilized apartment, but challenging nonetheless. There are so many brands, styles, sizes, fits, and fabrics to choose from—and yet we still find ourselves stuck with ones that dig in, gape, or are downright painful.

But supportive, well-designed, and just plain pretty bras do exist. And that’s why we’ve sorted through the racks, ratings, and reviews to compile a list of the most comfortable bras from the best-quality brands on the market for every shape, preference, and budget, from large to small busts. Whether you’re looking for a bra with side support and lift for daily use, a wireless bralette that’s flattering for larger breasts, an affordable Amazon bestseller, a style ideal for plus sizes, a strapless bra that actually stays up, or even an option that feels as comfy as a sports bra, all of our picks from trusted lingerie brands feel so good, you may forget you’re even wearing them.

All you have to do? Double check to make sure you’re choosing the right bra size. If a bra fits properly, the straps should stay in place without any digging, the center should lie flat against the breastbone, and you should fill out the cups without any gaping or overflow, says national fit specialist Frederika Zappa. You will want to be sure that your bra stays put as you move, so bending over, lifting your arms, rotating your body, and even jumping and/or running in place will help determine how the bra feels as you move about your day.

The best option, if possible, is to go for a bra fitting at a specialty store, as there's a good chance you're not wearing the correct size or style to suit and support your body properly. "People often think it’s only the straps that help hold you in place, but the band is important when it comes to great support," notes Swati Kelkar, Head of Intimates at maurices. No matter your size, Kelkar recommends either lightly lined or wireless cups to provide comfortable contour and support for your everyday needs.
