Bralettes FAQs

What is the difference between a bra and a bralette?

A bralette offers a soft, typically unstructured fit without additional padding or an underwire, while a bra helps provide more support and structure with the use of molded cups, underwire, and adjustable straps for shaping.

What are the different types of bralettes?

Our unlined bralettes are comfortable and provide all the light support you need, while also featuring beautiful designs. Our bralette collection has a versatile array of styles to complete your lingerie wardrobe. No wires or bulk in our bralettes, just ultra-soft, weightless fabrics and flattering styles that will complement your shape.

Assorted necklines, luxurious lace details, and pops of color will instantly elevate anything in your wardrobe. From lace bralettes to seamless bralettes, you can find something that suits your preferences.

One of our most popular collections is the Enbliss® line, which features easy pull-on styles with no uncomfortable hardware to fuss with. You can also check out our Embraceable® collection, which features pull-on style wireless bralettes that are made for comfort.

Are Soma bralettes comfortable?

Every bralette in our line is designed to be as comfortable as possible. Our designers use the softest fabrics and the latest technology to provide a supportive lift regardless of what you are doing.

Our supportive bralette styles, such as the racerback bralette, feature adjustable straps for a customized fit. Others, such as our seamless bralettes, have removable pads which give you options when you need a touch more coverage. Since all of our bralettes are wire-free and made with flexible fabrics, they move with you, providing an extra layer of comfort.

Are bralettes the right bra style for me?

If you’re someone who prefers less padding over the effects of a push-up bra, or if your wardrobe gravitates more towards sports bras and wireless bras, then a bralette may be the perfect choice for you.

Bralettes are perfect for someone who doesn’t rely on or want padding or underwires for support. With ultra soft, weightless fabrics designed in an array of flattering styles for all body types, it’s easy to find the best bralette that fits your lifestyle and complements your lingerie wardrobe.

Browse our collection of bralettes with assorted necklines, pops of color, and luxurious embroidery, velvet, and lace bralette details. You’re sure to find the right bralette for you and your preferences.

Can bralettes be worn on their own as tops?

Some of the best bralettes can be worn on their own as tops. It all depends on your comfort level, style preference, and style of the bralette.

For example, a black bralette with full coverage makes a cute and comfortable top when dressed up with a pair of high-waisted jeans, accessories, and the right jacket or cardigan. A lace bralette might be a bit more risqué depending on the cut, but could be the perfect top for a party or underneath layer.

Does Soma sell nursing bralettes?

Yes, we sell nursing bralettes that are notably comfortable and soft against you and your baby’s skin. All of the nursing bralettes in our collection feature soft, wireless, and seamless fabrics with removable pads. The straps are easy to adjust for the best nursing experience.

What sizes of bralettes can I buy?

Since our bralettes have no wires and feature lightweight, flexible fabrics, it’s much easier to find the ideal fit. With a bralette, you don’t have to worry about traditional bra cup and band sizes.

Bralette sizes include XS to XXXL. If you are between sizes and want a more comfortable fit, go up one size. If you are looking for a more supportive bralette, simply go down one size. Our online size charts will help you find the perfect bralette.
