A bralette swaps the underwire and moulded cups of a structured bra for soft stretch fabric and a lightweight band, so it sits close without digging in. That easy fit is what makes the bralette a go-to for lower-impact days and softer silhouettes.

The range runs from delicate lace and pointelle to smooth cotton and seamless microfibre. Black and neutral tones lead, with lace trims and racer backs for pairing under a looser top. Lightly padded styles add a little shape; unpadded ones keep things barely-there.

Layer a bralette under an open shirt or a low-cut knit, or let a lace band show above a waistband. For a sportier crop, compare the cut with crop tops, and browse the full lingerie range to see bralettes alongside briefs, sets and sleepwear.
