The Best Bras for Every Occasion: Strapless, Sports & Everyday Essentials

Finding the perfect bra can feel like searching for a unicorn – especially when you’re looking for comfort, support, and affordability. As two fashion bloggers who are always hunting for budget-friendly, high-quality finds, we’ve tested a lot of bras. Whether you need a strapless option that actually stays up, a sports bra that keeps everything in place, or an everyday bra that feels like a second skin, we’ve got you covered – literally!


1. Best Sports Bras for Support & Comfort

We’ve all been there: You start a workout, and suddenly, your bra isn’t working out with you. Whether you need high-impact support or just something comfy for yoga, here are our top picks.

CRZ Yoga Longline Sports Bra
Yoga Sports Workout Bra Double Strap Scoop Neck

🔥 Our Top Picks:

CRZ Yoga Longline Sports Bra ($32) – This is a total Lululemon dupe for a fraction of the price! It’s breathable, moisture-wicking, and has a snug yet comfortable fit.

Yoga Sports Workout Bra Double Strap Scoop Neck ($20) – The soft, elastic, and breathable material and touch are very suitable for yoga, pilates, daily wear, etc. It can be worn alone or under a T-shirt, shirt, or jacket, and is comfortable to wear all day long

CRZ Yoga Flex Sculpt Racerback Sports Bra ($32) – Designed for training and medium to full support, especially for larger busts. Soft fabric is breathable and shockproof that won’t easily shift. People tell me ALL the time how much they love this bra. Comes with removable pads, but they don’t budge.. so you don’t have to deal with them after washing. 10/10 recommend.

Target’s All In Motion Light Support Strappy Sports Bar ($16) – Made for yoga, stretching, low-impact workouts, or everyday wear. The molded sewn in cups, mesh liner, pullover style with slim shoulder and slim strappy back make this bra super comfortable.

💡 Pro Tip: When buying a sports bra, check for sweat-wicking fabric and wide straps for maximum comfort!


2. Best Strapless Bras That Stay Put

Let’s be honest: Strapless bras have a bad reputation for slipping, digging in, or just being plain uncomfortable. But don’t worry, we found some winners that check all the boxes!

Enbliss Wireless Strapless Bra
Wacoal Red Carpet Convertible Strapless Bra

🔥 Our Top Picks:

Enbliss Wireless Strapless Bra ($30-65) – For small to mid-sized chest, we love the Enbliss! Made with the softest fabric, comfy wireless design, and stay-put technology! It has full-coverage contour cups for natural shape and removeable & adjustable straps. K’s favorite!!

Wacoal Red Carpet Convertible Strapless Bra ($76) – This is a splurge for a budget-conscious shopper, but trust us, it’s worth it! If you’re looking for a strapless bra that works for larger busts (C-G cup), this is your best bet. M has had this one for years and loves it!

💡 Style Tip: If you’re wearing a strapless bra for a long event (like a wedding or party), apply a little body tape or fashion tape for extra security!


3. Best Everyday Bras for All-Day Wear

A good everyday bra should feel like a hug—soft, supportive, and so comfy that you forget you’re wearing it. Here are the ones we swear by!

Warner’s Easy Does It Wireless Bra
Oeak Deep V Seamless Push Up Tshirt Bra
Aerie Real Sunnie Wireless Push Up Bra

🔥 Our Top Picks:

Warner’s Easy Does It Wireless Bra ($20-$28) – The ultimate no-wire, no-dig bra that still provides shape and support. Perfect for t-shirts and casual wear!

Oeak Deep V Seamless Push Up Tshirt Bra ($21-30) – These seamless bras ensure invisibility under clothing from tshirts to backless tops dress, giving you the freedom to mix and match with different styles.

Aerie Real Sunnie Wireless Push Up Bra ($40-50) – If you want a mix of support and style, this is the one. The buttery-soft fabric and light padding make it great for everyday wear.

💡 Fit Tip: If your bra is digging in or riding up, try adjusting the straps or band. Sometimes, going up a band size and down a cup size (or vice versa) makes a world of difference!

Now sometimes certain dresses, swimsuits, or tanks require the barest of coverage, but you still need something! We found that Cakes and Nippies are the winners when it comes to nipple coverage!
