Coming in at a modest 32C and favouring a natural (rather than a padded or push-up) look, my bra of choice is Hanky Panky’s Signature Lace Glam Bra Cami, a soft bra that uses stretch lace cups lined with tulle, underwire-style seaming, and other clever details of design and construction to support and shape without underwire.
But even if you require or prefer underwire bras for your everyday, a well-made, comfortable and pretty bralette is a great option for weekend lounging, layering under tops for an “underwear as outwear” look, or simply to make a set with your favorite Hanky Panky thongs and panties.
If you think there’s a spot in your lingerie drawer for a bralette (or two or three), read on to find the right one for you.
Our Retro Lace Bralette is balconette-style, with adjustable straps but no back closure (sizes extra small to large correspond to band sizes 32 to 38). Underwire-style and princess seams provide greater support and cup shaping than our triangle bralettes.
