44 Pretty Bras You'll Actually Want to Put On (Pinky Promise)
If we’re being honest, getting dressed in anything but sweatpants last year wasn’t exactly the highest priority on our lists (much less putting on a pretty bra). But we’ve entered a brand-new year, and we can’t think of a more simple resolution than to lift your spirits every day than by slipping into clothing you love. From picking a 2021 trend to test out first to embracing low-effort outfit ideas, there are so many easy ways to find joy in dressing up again—even if it’s just worn on your living room sofa. And the easiest thing to embrace this year is a pretty bra.
Before you let any anti-bra sentiment steer you, let us attest to the fact that there’s power in this staple piece. A pretty bra can not only be styled as a bra top look or underneath your coziest work-from-home outfit, but it’s also the most straightforward piece to put on that makes you feel like you tried. Not convinced yet? Keep scrolling to see the 44 prettiest bras in every style that will make even the most anti-bra readers convert to the cause.
Pretty Bras Under $30
Finding a pretty lace bra that fits anywhere from cup sizes B-DDD was nearly impossible… until now.
I can personally vouch for how stunning this bralette looks on (plus it’s available in sizes XS-3X).
The lace? The satin? Yes. This size-inclusive bra is definitely in the running for the prettiest bra on the market at the moment.
Pro tip: Don’t be afraid to scour Urban Outfitters’ bra section, as it has some gorgeous options for cup sizes A-D.
Halter bralettes are also another great alternative to the traditional wire or padded bra option (and they look pretty to boot).
Beyond being beautiful, this Intimissi bra is made with a comfortable cotton cup interior, so you won’t want to take it off.
It doesn’t get prettier than this satin bra.
Having an everyday comfortable bra that’s also pretty is a must, and this True & Co balconette bra does the trick.
Who said pretty bras had to include lace? Calvin Klein’s triangle bralette is perfect for lounging at home in style.
The great thing about this bra besides the fact it’s pretty? It’s perfect for larger busts with cup sizes ranging from D-I.
Pretty Bras Under $50
If satin and lace don’t do anything for you, then this nylon and spandex wireless bra may be a new fave. It’s made for everyday use and the fun colors will make you feel pretty.
Love bralettes but need a bra with underwire? This pretty style from Honeydew combines the best of both worlds.
Whoever said bras couldn’t be both functional and fashionable never saw this one from Bravado.
Your search for a pretty everyday bra that can be worn under your go-to T-shirt is complete.
If you love the idea of a mesh bra but need support for the girls, then this underwire mesh bra is perfect.
The best bras meld functionality and fashion. This Skims bra does just that, as the plunge cut is not only pretty but the cotton fabric also makes for a bra you won’t want to take off.
What makes this bra perfect (other than the fact it’s so pretty) is that it’s a padded wire bra available in cup sizes AA-I.
Let’s be real: Strapless bras aren’t always pretty and don’t always come in inclusive sizing. Luckily, Lively has solved that issue with this strapless bra available in cup sizes A-DDD.
In the same way that women with bigger busts often struggle to find a pretty, well-fitting bra, so do women with small cup sizes. Luckily, this cute Pepper underwire bra cures small-chested women’s sizing woes everywhere.
Pretty Bras Under $100
Was it just me, or did your heart skip a beat too when you saw this bra?

The sequinned snake detailing on this bralette has me shook.
Take it from an editor that’s had her eye on this bra for quite a while: This simple mesh bra looks pretty on just about everybody and can be worn with just about anything.
The great thing about this Wacol bra is that it’s practical with its underwire molded cup sizes from C-DDD. Plus the lace detail adds a pretty element to an everyday bra.
For readers with a disability, the small female-founded lingerie brand Intimately is a great place to find pretty bras with adaptive designs.
Still not convinced that putting on a bra is for you this year? Then we suggest trying this barely there lace bralette from Anine Bing.
Leave it to Le Petit Trou to combine all the elements of the prettiest bras into one bralette.
Besides being an incredibly sexy bralette, what makes this bra worth the bucks is the fact it comes from a Black-owned brand.
Full coverage bras can be pretty. Case in point? This Soma bra that's available in cup sizes B-G.
When you look up the definition of a pretty bra, it most likely will depict this jaw-dropping emerald green bra from Gooseberry Intimates.
Pretty Bras $100+
For women searching for a padless lace underwire bra available in cup sizes C-H, it doesn’t get better than this one.
Our editors love Lonely Label Lingerie because, without fail, the brand makes the prettiest bras with cup sizes ranging from B-G.
Dainty styles with floral details pretty much epitomize what a pretty bra is, and this La Perla bralette takes the cake.
As someone with a larger bust, I always struggled to find embroidered bras that came in my size until I found this one from Chantelle.
The prettiest bras aren’t always everyday bras or even traditional cuts for that matter. Case in point? This cap-sleeve lace bra top.
Dainty styles with floral details pretty much epitomize what a pretty bra is, and this La Perla bralette takes the cake.
Zodiac lovers, get ready to meet the bra of your dreams. This style not only features a stunning moon detail, but it’s also designed to fit like an underwire without the wire.
The intricate crochet pattern made up of stretch leavers lace makes this bra exceptionally pretty.
Kiki De Montparnasse never fails to design a bra that kills me. The lace and the satin? I’m deceased until further notice.
Sure, you’ve seen your fair share of mesh underwire bras at this point, but the scalloped edges on this bra are what makes it sizzle.
If this Gucci logo bralette or any of the other pretty bras haven’t converted you to the bra-on cause, then we have mad respect. As for us? We’ll be dreaming of this pretty bra set until further notice.
