These days, there are about 100 different types of bras and materials to choose between, from seamless and extra-padded bras to unlined and underwire bras. But when it comes to comfort, none usurp a good cotton bra. It's really the next best thing to being braless, especially when you've spent a lifetime wearing ultra-structured bras with underwires.
Since we're firm believers that great lingerie is also meant to be seen, feel free to incorporate these options into your everyday outfits too. Brands have stepped it up lately on the aesthetic front, so these cotton bras are as pretty as they are practical. Ahead, you'll find a roundup of the 25 best cotton bras based on quality, brand recognition, versatility, and reviews.
The Top 5 Cotton Bras of 2025
Most Versatile: Victoria's Secret Lightly Lined Demi Bra ($40)
Most Flattering: Intimissimi Tiziana Triangle Bra ($39)
Most Size Inclusive: Savage X Fenty Cotton Essentials Bralette ($25)
Chicest: Araks Willow Bralette Bare ($145)

1. Best Overall: 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 when it comes to comfort, including this underwired bra. It just might be the perfect purchase if you like to layer.
2. Out From Under Bec Cotton Double Layer Bra
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. 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. 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.
5. 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: Truly comfortable and something I'd 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. The subtle lift on this style is incredible.
7. 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: 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.
11. Negative Underwear Cotton Bralette
Reviewer Highlight: "I just had a mastectomy, and after the reconstruction, it was hard to find a soft, comfortable bra or bralette—found it and love it." — Negative Underwear Reviewer
Editor Highlight: Reviewers rave about this bra, and after having recently tested the brand, I finally know why.
12. La Perla White Cotton Push-Up Bra
Editor Highlight: La Perla is always a classic, and the lace detailing is so pretty.
13. Cosabella Dolce Bandeau Bra
Reviewer Highlight: "This may be my new favorite bra, full stop, regardless of whether I wear it with straps or strapless. I actually find myself looking forward to wearing my sheer shirts and off-the-shoulder sweaters because they mean I get to wear this bra." — Cosabella Reviewer
Editor Highlight: Wow—a bandeau bra that's actually supportive? Sign me up!
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 weekend, workout, and everyday bra. It's that good.
15. Skin Gracelynne Plunge Bralette
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. I was skeptical about Cosabella but decided to try it. I'm so glad I did. It's very comfortable and looks great under blouses, t-shirts, etc. I highly recommend this brand!" — Cosabella Reviewer
Editor Highlight: For the bustier crowd, here's a bra that will actually give you support. It's in my cart RN.
18. ThirdLove Organic Cloud Cotton Perfect Coverage Bra
Reviewer Highlight: "It has become my very favorite bra. So comfortable with the wider strap, gives a nice shape and a little lift." — ThirdLove Reviewer
Editor Highlight: True to its name, this bra is perfectly soft, and I am obsessed.
19. Most Versatile: Victoria's Secret Lightly Lined Demi Bra
Reviewer Highlight: "Comfort is everything to me, and this bra fulfills that. I love that the bra cups are super light and don't really seem thick like some other bras. I would definitely recommend it for any size breasts." — Victoria's Secret Reviewer
Editor Highlight: This bra is ideal for wearing underneath your favorite T-shirt, and it gives full coverage with its light lining.
20. Most Seamless: Hanro Cotton Sensation Soft Cup Bra
Editor Highlight: It's true that you'll splurge on a Hanro bra, but the brand's quality is unmatched.
21. Harper Wilde Cloud Cotton Triangle Bralette
Reviewer Highlight: "I love this bra as it's a great balance of sporty and sexy in one. It's very comfortable with the soft cotton blend of the cups, and then the trim adds some sex appeal. I hope they offer it in more colors. I love the nano sets, but this one has those added details that elevate the look for me." — Harper Wilde Reviewer
Editor Highlight: This is the kind of bra that feels like wearing nothing while still offering enough support for everyday life.
22. Everlane The Cotton Bralette
Reviewer Highlight: "I absolutely love this bra. I've tried multiple wireless bras and was always disappointed because of a lack of adjustability or just a drab appearance (we all like to feel good, right?). 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.
23. Harper Wilde Cloud Cotton Scoop Bralette
Reviewer Highlight: "Very comfortable. Nice fabric. Doesn't ride up. No metal closures or underwire. Finally!" — Harper Wilde Reviewer
Editor Highlight: It doesn't get more comfortable than this bra. This soft, stretchy fabric is so comfortable that it has practically replaced my old go-to bralette.
24. Free People Amelia Bandeau Bra
Reviewer Highlight: "Perfect for me! I'm very small-chested (34A) and a small fit me perfectly. Doesn’t feel tight and did not move around. It’s sleek around the seams and edges making it look great under any low-cut top!" — Nordstrom Reviewer
Editor Highlight: With spring around the corner, you're going to want a bandeau bra for all those strapless tops.
25. Intimissimi Lara Cotton Triangle Bra
Editor Highlight: I wear this bra often for Sunday mornings spent sipping coffee and scrolling on TikTok.
