What is a bralette and how does it differ from an ordinary bra? This is a question that is often asked by women who love to update their lingerie collection with something new and a bit different but are unsure whether a bralette would be the right choice for them. Bralettes have seen a surge in popularity in recent years and there is now a wonderful range to chose from. Although they are generally less structured and softer than a standard bra, they also come in styles which offer support comparable to a bra, even with underwiring and padded cups in some ranges. Bralettes are often thought of as being more suitable for women with smaller busts, but many styles are now being introduced for larger cup sizes. Our extensive range offers cup sizes from A to JJ. A soft, lacy bralette can be incredibly sexy and feminine, as well as being supremely comfortable to wear. For this reason, the bralette is becoming a firm favourite for those times when you want to unwind and relax at home, without the constrictions of a more conventional bra.
The bralette comes in all shapes and sizes, the triangle being one of the most popular, and it is seen by many as quite a fashion statement. In a myriad of fashionable fabrics and colours, the bralette is often worn to be seen, beneath a strappy top, for example, following the trend of 'underwear as outerwear'. A bralette with a racerback style can look stunning under a simple top, adding interest and sex appeal to your outfit. Choose a crisp white or a sultry black, as your go-to for your favourite outfits, or maybe you would prefer to switch it up a little and opt for something bright and stunning, such as red or a cobalt blue. All your favourite brands, such as Curvy Kate, Lepel, Cleo By Panache and Pour Moi are now offering their own take on this new and exciting addition to the lingerie market. Select Bralette in the Lingerie Styles section and select your size to see the fabulous range we have to offer. There is sure to be one to suit your personal taste and style, as well as your figure type.
