What is the difference between a bralette and a bra?

A bralette offers lighter support than a regular bra, typically made of softer material without underwire and little to no padding. Bralettes can come in a variety of materials, like lace or cotton. Some bralettes come in one-size-fits-most or other sizes not based on cup size. Bras are more structured, offering more support and padding. Bras are sized by cup and band size.

How should a T-shirt bra fit?

T-shirt bras are made of smooth material like cotton or satin. They have wider, fitter bands that don’t cut into your skin or show under a shirt but stay in place. A T-shirt bra band should stay low on your back and should not ride up or move when you lift your hands. Most of these bras have a mid-coverage cup design that creates a smooth look under shirts.

Do all push-up bras have underwire?

You can find lifting or push-up bras in a variety of styles, and not all have underwire. Many push-up bras feature a contoured design that provides the same lifting effect without the need for wire. These wireless push-up bras can be comfortable for some people since they tend to be softer around the band and sides.
