A bralette is a soft, unpadded, underwire-free bra designed to comfortably and lightly hold up your natural shape. Offering a more relaxed fit, it provides effortless support with a barely-there feel. Bralettes are most often made from smooth, stretchy fabrics such as lace, cotton, or satin. They embody comfort, wellness, and ease.
In addition to skipping structured underwires, molded cups, and padding, bralettes differ from traditional bras because they don’t use the standard bra band/cup sizing system; instead, they stick to simple alpha-sizing just like clothing sizes (which at SKIMS ranges from sizes XXS-4X).

There are many styles of bralettes to choose from, but here are some SKIMS customer favorites:
Lace Bralettes
These are made with soft, stretchy lace, which looks gorgeous and feels completely breathable and weightless. From delicate and minimal to bohemian and romantic styles, a lace bralette is perfect for layering under a sheer dress or a tank top, or pairing with matching bottoms to act as a soft but sexy lingerie set.
Triangle Bralettes
Like a triangle bikini top, a triangle bralette has a deep plunge neckline and minimal coverage—while still offering light support and a natural, flattering shape. Made without padding, the triangle shape is a go-to for smaller busts and easy, everyday comfort.
Bandeaus
Bandeaus are a comfortable take on the classic strapless bra. With a no-slip, bandeau-like fit that provides light compression, they’re made to stay put without any underwire digging.
Sheer and Sexy Bralettes
Made with sheer mesh or a see-through lace with minimal lining, these bralettes blend comfort with bold allure. Lightweight and delicate, they’re a favorite for stylish layering, for elegant intimate wear, or just elevating your everyday comfortable lingerie rotation.
The support you get from a bralette depends on the fabric and style. Bralettes with nylon-spandex blends, wide straps, or reinforced underbands offer more lift and hold. Some SKIMS bralettes feature a power mesh lining for added support that doesn’t sacrifice any comfort.
Loved for their comfort, versatility, natural fit—and stylish cuts and fabrics—bralettes are an easy alternative to traditional bras.
The Key Benefits of Bralettes vs. Bras include:
- Wire-Free Comfort: No underwires, no piercing or pinching—just freedom to move.
- Natural Shape: Bralettes emphasize your bust’s natural contour without extra padding.
- Barely There & Breathable Feel: Lightweight fabrics and minimal structure keep things soft and cool.
- Style Versatility: With options in lace, mesh, sporty fabrics, and more, you can wear bralettes as lingerie, or even for show, on their own.
- Easy to Wear, Effortless Fit: Pull-on or front-close styles make it so easy to put a bralette on—and take it off.
- Flexible & Inclusive Sizing: Bralettes are stretchy and made to fit the entire SKIMS size range from XXS to 4X.
Suitable for Sleep: Experts have said that bralettes are a more comfortable and safe alternative to traditional bras for sleeping.
If you prefer to sleep with a bra, bralettes are the best choice for wearing while you snooze. They’re soft, breathable, and free of rigid structure, giving you light support without any discomfort. (They also look darling under pajamas or on their own.)
