These days, it’s about a 50/50 split of me wearing a bra and not. The days I only have one Zoom meeting are a crapshoot. Right now, I’m taking advantage of any small thing I can do to make myself more comfortable as I work from home. But there are times (like company-wide meetings or presentations to bosses) that you definitely need to be wearing a bra. For those times, get one that’s comfortable and supportive. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites so you can have a stockpile of comfy bras to wear when you absolutely need to.
The ReNew Bra
Scouted Contributor Emma Rubin says that this bra has been the only one “that balances the gentle comfort I look for with a more functional, classic shape.” After mostly wearing sports bras for comfort, she opted instead to invest in this sustainable option. It’s easy to wash, easy to wear, and “the stretchy nylon gives it a silky, barely-there feeling.”
Mesh U Bra
While mesh may not seem like the most comfortable option, I love my U bra from Underbares. It conforms to my shape, gives me support, but I barely notice it’s even there. It’s breathable and comes in many different “nude” colors to match an array of skin tones.
Tank Bra
Made from Supima cotton and elastane, this bra is all about comfort. It comes in three neutral colors and is double-layered for some support. The low scoop back means there won’t be able pinching or bunching, no matter how long you’re sitting on the couch for.
True & Co. True Everybody Adjustable Strap Triangle Bra
Our VP of Business Development, Sam, loves this bra. It has the comfort of a bralette with a deep-V but includes lightly lined cups and adjustable straps to keep you supported and fitting right.
The Palm Lace Busty Bralette
Even people with larger chests deserve to have a bra without underwire. This one from Lively is made to fit DD-DDD cups. It has an inner supportive sling, soft lace, and adjustable straps.
Calvin Klein Women's Modern Cotton Bralette
I’ve had this bralette for years and it’s always the one I grab when I just want to be comfortable. It comes in over a dozen colors and goes up to an XL.
Women's High Cut Bralette
The cut of this bra is all comfortable support. It has a mesh back for breathability and adjustable straps for a better fit. The seaming on the cups gives support without any uncomfortable wires.
