What is a bralette, anyway?
Difference between an underwire bra & a bralette.
A question we receive from time to time is one that always surprises us: What is a bralette? The reason we’re shocked, is because we can’t believe you haven’t been introduced to the world of wirefree bras sooner!
In our opinion, bralettes are an essential in any woman’s wardrobe. And thanks to our extensive sizing range, it’s easier than ever to find a beautiful, Italian-made bralette in your size.
We love our bralettes for sleeping, lounging or even running errands in our athleisure. Without any wires, they’re so comfortable to wear all day long with a little light support and soft fabrics to keep you cozy.
However, we can’t give up our underwires quite yet. These classic bras are a staple for every day. The cups offer us shape while the wire gives us lift and support.
Underwire Bras – a bra that has a wire:
- built-in underwire for medium to heavy support
- available in specific bra and cup sizes
- everyday wear for lift & shaping
- perfect fit under tighter tops
- must be re-fit when your size, shape or body changes
- can be front or back closure

Bralettes – a bra without an underwire, aka a soft bra or wireless bra:
- wire-free for light support
- flexible fit for superior comfort
- comes in more general sizes
- can fit throughout some body changes
- can be front or back closure or pull-on style
- works as a post-surgery option due to its fit, comfort and lack of wires
