If you’ve ever spent the day wearing a bra that’s digging into your skin, lost its shape, no longer fits, or is just plain uncomfortable, you’re intimately familiar with counting down the seconds until you can finally take it off. And the only thing worse than wearing an uncomfortable bra for a day is continuing to keep it in your rotation, realizing you’ll knowingly (or not-so-knowingly) pop it on again.
To help you to stop the cycle and fill your lingerie drawer with pieces you’ll actually enjoy wearing (yes, really), our REAL SIMPLE editors are sharing the bras they love and why they truly are excited to keep reaching for them.
Get ready—comfort has entered the chat. And some of these finds feel like wearing nothing at all.

True & Co True Body Triangle Convertible Strap Bra
“I live in my True & Co wireless bras—I own at least five of them. The wireless design is so comfortable for everyday wear, and it’s completely seamless under tight-fitting tops. The triangle convertible is my favorite style because you can cross the straps in the back for racerback tops if needed. The pads are removable (though I always keep them in), and it provides just enough support without digging into my rib cage like traditional underwire options do.”—Melanie Fincher, senior shopping editor
Aerie Superchill Plunge Bralette
“Aerie’s Superchill Plunge Bralette is the one I’ve been living in lately. The fabric is lightweight, super soft, and stretchy in that perfect way where you feel supported without feeling squeezed. It honestly feels like nothing—I forget I’m even wearing it and wander around the house in just this because it’s that comfortable. The plunge neckline is a bonus for me since I wear a lot of lower‑cut tops when I go out, and this stays completely hidden.”—Wendy Vazquez, senior shopping writer
Wacoal Simply Done T-Shirt Bra
“I get bummed out if this bra isn’t clean—it’s that comfortable. I feel much more confident in underwire bras, but as all women know, they can easily cause discomfort. This bra is lined well enough that I don’t even notice the underwire. Plus, it provides full coverage, so I never feel like I’m going to accidentally flash someone!”—Allison Cacich, senior director
Soma Enbliss Racerback Bralette
“After exclusively wearing underwire bras for years unless I was working out, I finally tried wireless bras for the first time this year—and I’m never going back. I’m excited every time this Soma Enbliss Racerback Bralette is not in the wash because it’s so supportive and comfortable that I truly forget I’m wearing anything at all. The pads are removable if they’re not quite your vibe, the straps are adjustable, and the elastic band never rubs or gets itchy even on hot days. I think this fits true to size, and it’s available in standard shirt sizes.”—Carly Totten, shopping editor
Negative Underwear Whipped Non-Wire Bra
“I got breast reduction surgery a few years ago, and after almost two decades of underwires, I was so excited to try some wireless options. This one from Negative Underwear quickly became my all-time favorite. The material is butter soft—it’s the closest thing I’ve found to going braless, but it adds enough support that I feel secure. I especially love it under T-shirts for a slightly sculpted look without too much structure.”—Erin Mayer, shopping editor
Thirdlove Uplift Plunge Bra
“Thirdlove is one of my favorite brands because it offers half-cup sizes, which really ensures you’re getting a bra that gives you the best support. The Uplift Plunge Bra is my go-to for everyday, offering a ‘perky’ lift that has yet to feel uncomfortable in the years I’ve owned them. The bra is seamless under T-shirts, too, and the low neckline is equally as great for low-cut tops.”—Euna Park, senior shopping editor
Underoutfit 457 The Comfort Shaping Bra
“You get the best of both worlds with this bra. It feels like a sports bra or bralette, but gives you the look of an underwire bra despite being wireless. It’s incredibly soft, insanely comfortable, and lightly lined, resulting in really great shape and lift. There are four rows of adjustable hooks at the closure but no hardware on the straps, so it looks super smooth under clothing. I wear this when I’m lounging around the house but also when I’m out and about. The fabric is breathable, too, which is a must in the summertime.”—Taylor Rock, associate editorial director
Knix The One&Only Scoop Bra
“I’ll be honest—I haven’t worn a bra with underwire in probably 10-ish years. After years of struggling with poking, prodding, and harsh digging all around my chest, I retired them for good, went straight for wireless ones, and haven’t looked back since. I own several bras from Knix—including the Revolution V-Neck bra—but I really love the One&Only Scoop Bra from the brand. The fabric is buttery soft, the light pads provide a natural shape, offers plenty of support (even for larger busts like mine), and has a flattering scoop neckline with convertible straps, so you never have to worry about straps ruining your outfit.”—Alicia Geigel, shopping writer
Maidenform Everyday Luxe T-Shirt Wireless Bra
“The fabric on this bra is so soft, and the wireless design is ultra comfy. I like that the flexible foam cups provide padding and coverage without looking like too much of a push-up design. Plus, the straps are convertible, so you can wear it under different shirt styles.”—Lauren Taylor, shopping writer
Victoria’s Secret Wicked Unlined Lace Balconette Bra
$50 $32 at Victoriassecret.com
“In the summer, I prefer wearing unlined bras to not trap any more heat than what I’m already feeling under the sun. The Victoria’s Secret Unlined Balconette Bra is perfect for just that; it’s super lightweight and super breathable. The low neckline also makes it great to wear with my dresses—zero chance of any bra cups peeking through. Plus, there are so many pretty colors, patterns, and embroidered designs to choose from.”—Euna Park, senior shopping editor
Thirdlove 24/7 Classic Wireless Bra
“Being small-chested, I forgo bras most of the time (especially working from home). But on the rare occasion that I leave the house in a tight-fitting shirt, I love the support and extra shape that the 24/7 Classic Wireless provides. It feels like I’m wearing nothing, and since I normally am wearing nothing, that is 100 percent the goal.”—Stephanie Osmanski, shopping writer
Skims Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra
“Whenever I bra shop, I feel like I have to choose between quality and affordability. A bra that holds its shape after multiple washes and wears and is comfortable to wear on a daily basis can cost over $100 apiece, and the alternative is often a $20 bralette constructed out of elastic and a prayer. This bra, however, is soft, stretchy, and supportive, but has enough structure that I haven’t had to adjust my hook-and-eye closure in the months I’ve had it. And it looks great without almost every top imaginable.”—Lily Gray, associate editorial director
True & Co. True Everybody Lightly Lined V-Neck Bra
“When I’m in the mood for the comfiest bra that barely feels like it’s there, I reach for this wireless bra. It still offers support thanks to the shaping around the cups and the side of the bra, and the material is buttery soft. It’s especially great paired with T-shirts, tank tops, and flowy T-shirt dresses. I also love that the cups are removable for easy washing and adjusting.”—Emma Ashe, shopping editor
Wacoal Back Appeal T-Shirt Bra
“I bought this full-coverage bra a few years ago and never looked back. It’s supportive, comfortable, and smoothing—everything I could want in a bra I wear every day. Even though it has underwire, I don’t feel it at all, and it doesn’t dig into my skin throughout the day. It’s great for any top, whether it’s a sweater or tight T-shirt.”—Jamie Weissman, senior shopping editor
