Bra Top – Guide to the Soft Everyday Bra

Short answer: A bra top is a soft bra without wires or hooks that you pull over your head, supported by the fabric itself and a wide band under the bust. It is the most comfortable everyday solution, especially in stretchy bamboo viscose that moulds to the body.

What is a bra top?

The bra top, also called a bralette, is a soft top with support built into the fabric instead of wires. It gives a natural shape and a pressure you can barely feel. See the soft styles under bamboo wireless bra.

Who does a bra top suit?

The bra top is ideal for everyday life, working from home and relaxing, where comfort matters most. If you have a smaller or medium bust, it can often replace the classic bra completely. For a larger bust it works best as a home bra or alongside more supportive styles – read more in the guide to wireless bras.

Why bamboo is ideal for bra tops

A bra top sits against your skin all day, so the material decides the comfort. Bamboo viscose is soft, stretchy and moisture wicking, so you avoid clamminess under the bust. If the top needs to do more during activity, take a look at a bamboo sports bra, and find matching basics in bamboo tops for women.
