Here Are The Best Size-Inclusive Bras—Underwire Not Included

Most people who own bras know the feeling of having a well-worn absolute favorite bra. But for people with larger chests, finding a supportive, comfortable bra with zero underwire is no easy feat. Already, bra shopping typically consists of hours of reading customer reviews or trying things on in poorly lit dressing rooms. If you're looking for a specific style, it can only get worse.

To save you the time and agony, we've done the work of finding the best wireless, size-inclusive bras out there based on actual customer reviews. Everyone deserves to have a bra or two in their drawer that’s ultra-comfy — and that certainly includes people with larger chests.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Old Navy Lace V-Neck Bralette Top


Best Lace Wireless Bra

Old Navy's bralette is all about sexy shape and support all in one product. The bra's fabric is designed to retain its stretch wear after wear. It also helps that it's cute and affordable to boot.

The Hype: 4.2 out of 5 stars; 234 reviews from OldNavy.com

What They’re Saying: "This was way comfier than I expected. I'm a 3-4x in tops so I went with a 4 but could have sized down. I'm a 48G in regular bras for reference. The elastic around the ribs is super soft and comfy. The cups do have a line running vertically through the cup so it's not as smooth as I would like under shirts and it doesn't offer a huge amount of support but I love it."– Old Navy.com , reviewer

Best Full-Coverage Wireless Bra

The Hype: 4.7 out of 5 stars; 54 reviews on barenessities.com

It feels very supportive, and the shoulder straps do not dig in. It doesn't give me 'side boob', or 'torpedo boobs'. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase." – Yvonne, Bare Necessities reviewer

Cosabella’s longline bralette is the perfect combination of comfortable and sexy. Just look at how plus-size women have styled the bralette on the product page and you’ll want to add it to your cart ASAP.

The Ugly Sandal Gets The Cool Girl Treatment, Thanks To Staud x Birkenstock

The ugly shoe trend may have just gotten It-girl fashion’s stamp of approval, thanks to Birkenstock’s latest collaboration with one of today’s most popular brands Staud. On Friday, the two announced the partnership, which includes a summer-themed collection of handbags and ready-to-wear from the Los Angeles-based label, as well as footwear in Birkenstock’s signature styles. 

The shoe styles include two of Birkenstock’s most famous sandals, the Arizona and Gizeh, in brown and black croc material. The styles feature gold buckles, as well as Staud’s signature ivory stitching, and retail for $195. Meanwhile, Staud is launching two plaid and croc shoulder bags in a wide range of colors, starting at $275. As part of this launch, Staud is also releasing limited edition ready-to-wear pieces that include a plaid skirt and top ensemble, a set of lightweight knits, and easy dresses that could go from a daytime picnic to a beachside bonfire. 

This partnership comes on the heels of a series of successful collaborations for both brands, including Birkenstock’s recent foray into luxury footwear with Manolo Blahnik and Jil Sander and Staud’s sold-out collaboration with New Balance last year.

Ahead of the official start of summer, the collection is available now on Staud, Birkenstock, and Nordstrom
