This summer, there’s one big trend that is taking the fashion world by storm, and that’s the bralette.
Fashion bralettes come in countless materials, styles, colors, and designs. Whether you love showing skin or prefer a more modest look, there’s a bralette style that you’ll definitely want to be incorporating into your summer 2021 wardrobe.
How should you be wearing your new bralettes this summer? Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about bralettes, as well as seven different ways that you can make them the centerpiece of your outfits.
What Is a Bralette?
A bralette is a type of bra. With no wires, molded cups, and minimal padding, these are incredibly comfy bras that exist somewhere between the realm of the sports bra and the everyday bra. We are famous for our Never Say Never Sweetie Bralette – available in our signature size ranges!
Bralettes can come in a long list of materials including satin and cotton, but they are frequently made of lace. They come in an endless array of styles, such as racerback, halter, sport, strapless, and longline.
You can find cute bralettes for women of all shapes and sizes so that you can have maximum comfort and proper support.
Because there isn’t much in the way of padding with bralettes, they are awesome for ladies looking to accomplish a more natural look. The natural shape and size of your body is accentuated and celebrated through fashion bralettes.
Shop By Size allows you to filter through our collections that are in your size range for your bralette.
Why Wear Fashion Bralettes?
Bralettes are basically the ultimate article of clothing. Many times when you’re shopping for clothes you are either sacrificing comfort for style or the other way around. With bralettes, you can have both!
Comfortable because they don’t have that pesky underwire or excessive padding and designed to be attractive and stylish, bralettes are practical for even the most minimalistic of wardrobes.
Whether you wear your bralette under other clothes so only the tiniest bit of lace peeks out or if you wear it as a crop top, bralettes are the ultimate way to boost confidence and feel your best.
Curating Outfits With Fashion Bralettes
It is common for bralettes to be more decorative than your standard, everyday bra. This means that they can work for all kinds of different styles.
This is an incredibly versatile item of clothing that anyone can find a comfortable way to wear. It doesn’t matter how conservative or adventurous you are when it comes to your outfits, there’s a place for fashion bralettes in your wardrobe!
If you are looking to create a casual and comfortable look, bralettes can easily be worn under an off-the-shoulder top or under a loose-knit sweater. They can also be dressed up by wearing them under a gorgeous dress or by pairing with a jacket and jeans.
Bralettes can also look great with a backless dress or under a sheer top. They also can work great as crop tops, too!
Let’s take a look at some of the ways that you will definitely want to style your luxury lingerie this summer.
1. Fashion Bralettes With High-Waisted Bottoms
This is an awesome look that is flattering for all body types, no matter whether you wear extra small or curvy size bralettes. whether you go with high-waisted jeans, a high-waisted maxi skirt, high-waisted shorts, or a high-waisted pencil skirt, you’ll be turning heads and creating smiles wherever you go.
Not only is this style all the rage right now, but it’s also a great way for more modest dressers to show a little skin without feeling over-exposed. With just a sliver of skin showing between the bottom of your bralette and the top of your bottom piece, this is a killer look that can help you feel both confident and comfortable.
2. Under a Sheer Shirt
Sheer shirts are the perfect opportunity to show off your new bralette. This is a fun way to get creative with your outfit, allowing you the space to incorporate different colors, patterns, and designs into your look. Now available in our new Ultra Curvy collection, available in sizes 30G – 36H!
This look is perfect for a night out with the girls or a sexy date night. Often paired with high heels and jeans, you’ll end up looking incredibly fashionable in an effortless way.
Strappy or plunging bralettes can look great under sheer shirts. It’s a good idea to be considerate of the way that the necklines of both your bralette and your sheer shirt interact. Typically, it’s a good idea to choose a higher neckline sheer shirt in either or white or black to create the right amount of contrast.
3. Fashion Bralettes as a Crop Top
Wearing your bralette as a crop top is an awesome throw-back to the midriff-revealing styles of the 90s. Whether you’re wearing a lace-up bralette, a halter bralette, or even a knitted bralette, this can be a show-stopping look that works all summer long.
If you want to wear your bralette as a crop top but you want to have a bit more in the way of coverage, you might want to consider going with a longline, sports, or bandage bralette that you pair with high-waisted bottoms. The Pret A Porter Bralette has a longer waistband made of intricate lace to give some extra coverage around your waist!
4. Under Side Open Tank Tops or Backless Tops
One of the great things about bralettes is that you can wear them underneath other clothes to add the tiniest bit of intrigue and flair to your outfits. When you wear tops that have open sides or are backless, a bralette can be the perfect pairing. The Racie Racerback Bralette offers support, and still looks great under your favorite top! Available in standard, petite, and curvy sizing!

5. Under a Jacket
If you are someone that is always looking to make bold fashion statements, you’re going to want to wear your new bralette with a jacket. Edgy and on-trend, this is a fierce look that isn’t for the faint of heart. Because of the nature of the outfit, you’ll want to define your comfort level because without a top the focus of the eyes will land right on the bralette.
6. Under a Jumpsuit or Overalls
One of the cutest looks that’s hot this summer is wearing overalls or a jumpsuit over a bralette. This is such a fun, easy, and casual way to show off your bralette that can be accessorized in countless ways.
7. Over Shirts
The other thing you can do is wear your bralette over other tops. The outcome of this style is a chic and fun look that is stylish but modest. You can either choose to style your bralette over t-shirts for a more casual look or blouses for a more classy look.
In general, it’s a good idea to choose t-shirts that have crew necks or high necklines. This is because wearing a deep v-neck shirt or a shirt with a scoop neckline can end up creating an uneven look with your bralette.
When you layer your bralette over a blouse, you are making a bold fashion statement that is both edgy and high-class. This look can be either dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion and your comfort level.
