Call Off Your Bra Search—This Is the Only Style You Need
Choosing outfits to wear every single day of the year is undoubtedly a challenge in itself. But it doesn't stop there. Once you've got the outfit, the next step is figuring out what the best bra style is to wear under it. And since we know how busy you are, we thought we'd give you one less thing to worry about, sartorially speaking. So we turned to two experts in the lingerie arena to inquire about the one bra style that works under nearly anything. The goal? To help you stop wasting your time and money on acquiring unworn bras: Journelle CEO Lyn Lewis and Lively founder Michelle Cordeiro Grant. Lo and behold, both women were on the same page: Plunge bras are your friend.
In the words of Lewis, "A plunge bra suits almost all women, no matter size or breast shape, and functions almost as a T-shirt bra. Our Juliette Plunge Bra has awesome coverage and looks lovely under anything." Lively's Grant echoes that, telling us about a plunge style that she recommends: "If we had to choose our MVP, it would be the Mesh Trim No-Wire. Our crew swears by it! It's all about unbelievable comfort and the support of a wire without one, and the hits of mesh are just über-cool. The front adjusters and convertible cross-back J-hook take this style from classic to racerback so you can easily pair with anything. It's your everyday go-to."
Now that you've been informed about the wonders of a plunge bra, keep scrolling to shop our favorites from Journelle and Lively.
