1. Best Overall Cotton Bra: Skims Stretch Cotton Jersey 2.0 Underwire Bra

Reviewer Highlight: "I am a G cup, and there aren't that many cute and comfortable options. This ticks both boxes! Super soft material and the fit is amazing. Definitely will be buying more." — Skims Reviewer

Editor Highlight: Skims excels in comfort, including this underwired bra. It has a breathable cotton material that keeps sweat at bay and a high-tech Powermesh lining that lends immense support. It just might be the perfect purchase if you like to layer.

2. Best Layering Cotton Bra: Out From Under Bec Cotton Double Layer Bra

Reviewer Highlight: "I’m 180~ lbs, 36B, 5’6. So, I usually don’t buy items without reviews, but I took a chance! This item isn’t truly double-layered; the second white layer stops about an inch from the top of the bra. Overall, this is super comfy and cute, absolutely perfect under an oversized low-cut T-shirt or active wear. It’s relatively thin and not lined, but it’s still super nice!"— Urban Outfitters reviewer

Editor Highlight: This reminds me of a runway moment after we saw double-layered moments soar this past year (ahem, Miu Miu). Plus, it looks comfortable.

3. Best Cotton Traingle Bra: Eberjey Pima Goddess Stretch Cotton Underwire Bra 

Reviewer Highlight: "So comfortable and fits so well! Not noticeable under plain white tanks. I'm 5'3", 130 lbs, and a size C bought a small, and it fit with minimal coverage, which is what I wanted." — Revolve Reviewer

Editor Highlight: Eberjey bras are some of the best. The low neckline on this one gives you the opportunity to style it with low-cut tops and dresses.

4. Best Cotton Bralette: Calvin Klein Modern Cotton Bralette

Reviewer Highlight: "I couldn't be more in love with this bra. It is comfortable yet supportive. I put one on when I'm just hanging around the house and want to be comfy or under a loose tee to run errands in. I'm a 32DD, and I went with the size large. Although it says my band size should be small, I get more support with the large." — Nordstrom Reviewer

Editor Highlight: Calvin Klein makes excellent bras, and there's a reason this one is a viral staple. It features the brand's iconic elastic band, a comfortable racer-back design, and breathable cotton material.

5. Best Cotton Pra for Plus Size: Parade Vintage Soft Triangle Bralette

Reviewer Highlight: "I was so pleasantly surprised with this bralette. I had been looking for a simple cotton bralette because I have a small chest and was sick of ill-fitting and uncomfortable bras. I know they're a little expensive, but they're seriously worth it." — Parade Reviewer

Editor Highlight: Shoppers love this bra because of its adjustable straps, comfortable fit, and wide size range. It's truly something someone should purchase in multiple colors.

6. Most Flattering: Intimissimi Tiziana Triangle Bra in Cotton 

Reviewer Highlight: "I'm in love. I don't wear white lingerie, but with Intimissimi, I love it. I gravitate towards comfortable fits, and the Tiziana Triangle Bra in Cotton is one I would repurchase and wear every day." — Intimissimi Reviewer

Editor Highlight: If you haven't heard of it yet, the Italian brand Intimissimi is a European favorite. This best-selling style gives the chest a subtle lift while the hook on the strap adjusters allows you to cross the straps in the back to create a racerback fit, or to hide them for certain necklines.

7. Best Forever Cotton Bra: Skims Fits Everybody Crossover Bralette

Reviewer Highlight: "I was skeptical about the brand before submitting my order, to be honest, but this bralette is everything. I love how it fits—it's made as a bralette should be, but still somehow has enough structure and integrity that my boobs look amazing in it, and it's so comfortable." — Skims Reviewer

Editor Highlight: If you hate underwire, this is a good one to pick up. The subtle ruching is so chic.

8. Jockey Forever Fit Unlined Cotton Bra

Reviewer Highlight: "I have sagging breasts from breastfeeding and have been looking for something that gives a lift with a little cleavage without my boobs falling out every time I bend over—this does the trick. It's comfy and a little cuter than a sports bra." — Amazon Reviewer

Editor Highlight: I own way too many Jockey bras, but that should tell you just how comfortable they are. It feels like wearing nothing except you get a bit of support.

9. Chicest Cotton Bra: Araks Willow Bralette Bare

Editor Highlight: If you're sustainably minded, you should put this brand on your radar. The silk detailing is an absolute staple.

10. Most Size Inclusivity: Savage X Fenty Cotton Essentials Bralette

Reviewer Highlight: "I was hesitant to get a bralette because my size is usually 38H-38I, so I figured I'd get one that wasn't too expensive in a 3X, and if it didn't do much for me. I'd wear a bra under it as a crop top, but it supports me so well that I feel comfortable leaving the house in it—it's my new favorite bra." — Savage x Fenty Reviewer

Editor Highlight: This bralette is available in 23 colorways and sizes XS to 4X. Everyone's happy.

14. On Gossamer Stretch Cotton Bralette

Reviewer Highlight: "For someone of you that looking for a comfortable bra with a nice feeling fabric, this is the answer. I bought it because I wanted a bra for the gym. I'm a little bit allergic to the synthetic fabric that many sports bras are made of, so I looked for a cotton bra instead, and this one is perfectly fitted and feels great, and I'm not allergic too." — Nordstrom Reviewer

Editor Highlight: Consider this your everyday bra. It's lightweight, supportive, and has a hook and eye-back closure for a customized fit.

Editor Highlight: Organic cotton is great for sensitive skin, and the seaming on this is good.

16. Amoena Frances Soft Cup Cotton Leisure Bra

Reviewer Highlight: "This bra has been Heaven-sent since my breast surgery and reconstruction. It is comfortable and easy to wear. I also had a recent shoulder surgery, so I am not able to reach behind to fasten "normal" bras, and cannot pull a bra over my head. This bra was such a relief, providing me the comfort I have needed while healing." — Nordstrom Reviewer

Editor Highlight: Front closures are so much easier to put on by yourself, but amazing support is the real, true benefit.

17. Cosabella Talco Bralette

Reviewer Highlight: "I am at the age where comfort is more important than anything when it comes to clothes. I have a large bust, and finding comfortable bras is hard.

21. Harper Wilde Cloud Cotton Triangle Bralette

22. Everlane The Cotton Bralette

Reviewer Highlight: "I absolutely love this bra.

After purchasing Everlane's cotton bralette, I had to return and purchase the other colors." — Everlane Reviewer

Editor Highlight: The price of this is too good, and it works for lounging at home or running errands in a hoodie. It features a double-layered Supima cotton that’s breathable and as soft as butter.
