Vanity Fair Bra: Beauty Back Full-Figure Strapless Bra
Price: $42
Kohls.com
Don't be fooled by the floral lace detail in the front, this strapless super bra is all about strength. Thanks to the underwire and a strong-hold elastic, you’ll feel uplifted (literally) all day. It’s particularly great for a fuller bust.

Strapless bras can be tricky -- you either get the support you need at the cost of a skin-digging pain, or you get all the comfort of a second skin, but sagging sets in immediately. Alas, not with this affordable pick! The cushioned underwire offers both support and softness, so you get the lift you need and the smooth softness you want. Plus, because it’s convertible, it can moonlight as your everyday bra.

2. Nude Bras in More Than 2 Shades

Three cheers and eight more “nude” shades for inclusivity! It’s taken an embarrassingly long time for it to happen but more bra lines are now offering more than just one beige shade of “nude.\" Intended to reflect a wide swath of skin tones, these nudes—fittingly named \"Honesty,\" \"Inspiration,\" \"Strength,\" \"Energy,\" and \"Confidence\" -- are also all modeled by real women models (not professionals) who have not been photoshopped. Real women. Real skin tones. Real bodies. Real victory for all of us!

A higher price point, sure, but fans of the brand defend it wholeheartedly saying that it's the best bra they've ever worn. While there's no way for us to scientifically prove that, we can say that it's one of the most inclusive. It offers six shades that were scientifically developed using skin tone scans and a special color matching program, all based on real women.

Finding your true nude when you’re shopping for a great bra is key when you’re wearing everything from a white tee to a sheer top. Even more key is when you can get a convertible one -- it transforms into a racerback style -- all for less than two venti lattes.

3. Everyday Bras to Withstand Wash and Wear


According to research by the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Labs, you don't need to wash your bra every single time you wear it. Wash it every few wears (unless you sweat in it, in which case you’ll want to wash more frequently).

To wash, place it in a mesh bra bag that will help protect its shape and machine wash on the delicate or hand wash cycle. Lay your bra flat to dry. The high temperature of the dryer will increase the breakdown of materials, causing it to lose elasticity.

These are our favorite everyday bras that hold up to washing and wearing:

This will be your go-to bra. Wire-free comfort with outstanding support made this one a winner. Plus, when it was washed in the lab it showed no change in appearance.

One of the least expensive bras in our test was also a top performer. Even after we stretched it out every which way, in the Good Housekeeping Textiles Lab, it completely recovered its shape and washed well without any shrinkage or wear. Our testers found it lightweight, comfortable, and supportive despite the fact that it doesn’t have an underwire.

An undergarment staple to have in your arsenal, this bra scored high marks for its comfort level. And because it's such a great everyday bra, Good Housekeeping tested to make sure it could withstand everyday wash and wear. Good news? It did! Barely any shrinkage. And -- bonus -- it comes in a variety of colors.

4. Behold the Bralette


If you already have every bra under the sun and are looking for a casual bra to wear under sundresses, or for lounging around, enter the bralette. The bra's low-key little sister, a bralette is perfect for open-backed dresses, off-the-shoulder sweaters, or for just hanging out. Here are a few of our faves.

Just like with your wardrobe of everyday bras, you need both a nude and a black option. We love this one for its lingerie-like design and its unbelievably affordable price.
