Support without the dig: Wireless bras you’ll actually want to wear

We’re all for freeing the nip, but let’s be real: going braless isn’t always practical. If you want support without digging wires or stiff padding, a wireless bra is the answer. Designed to offer comfort, shape and flexibility, non-wired bras give you that barely-there feel without leaving everything to bounce freely.

How to choose the best wireless bra
Underwire bras may reign supreme when it comes to support, but you can still find plenty of wireless bras that’ll give you shape and lift without pokey wires. And, no, a wireless bra isn’t the same thing as a bralette. Wireless bras tend to have more padding and structure than bralettes, with moulded cups to provide more of a contoured look beneath your clothes. When you’re on the hunt for the perfect wireless bra, here are some things to keep in mind:
How should a wireless bra fit?
Not to state the obvious, but finding the right-fitting bra is important, especially when it comes to wireless bras. As LIVELY creative director Sarah Sullivan says, “It should provide you the right support, coverage, and be comfortable all day long. Gaping cups, slipping straps, and too-tight bands will all prevent you from experiencing all-day comfort—which is what wireless bras are all about!”
What's the most comfortable wireless bra material?
You get what you pay for, and while high-quality bras can be pretty £££, they’re well worth the investment. As Sullivan points out, “A bra may be great at first but lose support or comfort after a little wear.” Cotton and microfiber bras are best for everyday wear, while nylon and spandex are also great options if you’re looking for something stretchy but super-durable. And you probs wanna avoid thicker or textured fabrics that’ll show under your clothes, especially if you’re going for a seamless look. Speaking of which...
What (else) should I look for in a wireless bra?
You might wanna avoid decorative details. Ya, frills and lace are fun, but they won’t seem so cute when you can see ‘em sticking out through your clothes. Seamless, molded cups with little to no extra detailing—like darts, ribbons, or bows—will give you the smoothest silhouette, but as Sullivan says, “Don't sacrifice style; this bra should work hard, but it should also look and make you feel good!” Basic doesn’t have to mean boring.
