I'm Fussy When It Comes to Bras—Here Are 8 Brands That Look as Good as They Feel
Finding lingerie that fits so well you barely know you're wearing it is what we all wish for. But much like finding the perfect-fit jeans, the search for a great bra can be a tricky task. With so many gorgeous styles out there now, though, we no longer have to just rely on basic (but very comfy) T-shirt bras and styles that become ugly as soon as they reach cup sizes DD and upwards.
Instead, there are so many amazing brands creating comfy and pretty bras for every body. And we wanted to tell you about the ones we go to for certain styles.
If you're looking for a bra in your skin tone, Skims has a really great inclusive selection. If you love a joyful, colourful style to uplift your mood then Dora Larsen is the destination. When it comes to the high street, of course, Marks and Spencer is a forever favourite for everyday lingerie drawer additions, and Boux Avenue is the place to go for backless bras.
Keep scrolling to find out the eight best bra brands that look as good as they feel.
