Not a fan of lace? Prefer something more androgynous? Or just like minimal, comfortable no frill bras? Lace is great if you love frills, but not everyone does. Not to mention some people find it itchy and uncomfortable. However, if you have a large bust, going without a bra may not work. So what bra do you wear if you hate bras?
The wrong bra can mean pinching wires, slipping straps, or a band that digs into your stomach. Ouch! Who needs that? The right bra can fix those problems (here are ten bra fitting tips that can help) so that you don't have to spend your day constantly adjusting your bra.
A soft full coverage contour cup conforms to your shape and reduces nipple show-through. Wide comfort straps are reduced stretch in front and help relieve shoulder strain. Seamless, wireless contour soft cup is made of stretch nylon. Lightly padded for a natural-looking, modest shape and to enhance, not add size. Center panel - tall, with arched underband for high tummy comfort. Sewn-on elastic at side and back edges for fit. Comfort straps gently cu The bras on this page have no underwires, are mostly non-padded, and have no lace, lumps or bumps.
It’s all about clean lines and comfort, without all the “girly” stuff. Perfect if your bra style is closer to tomboy than glamour girl.
I have (as usual) sorted these by figure and body type so you can find the right bra to fit your size and your needs.
No lace, no frills, just smooth fabric with a contrasting color along the straps and outside the cups. The straps adjust in the center so it’s easier to get the right fit while wearing the bra. It’s got a wide center panel, so it’s better if you are wide-set. You can also wear the straps criss-crossed.

Bras Without Underwires or Lace for Average Busts
Great for light support and lounging around the house. This has no frills or lace, just smooth, stretchy fabric that adjusts to your shape. There’s also elastic along the band and the top of the cups for a better fit. Tall sides and back help smooth out lumps and bumps and there are no seams on the cups.
This is best if you are average height since the band would be a problem for shorter torsos.
Sizes XS-L, which will fit 30D, 32A-C, 34A-C, 34D, 34A-C, 36D, 38A-C. Comes in beige, pecan, several shades of pink, multiple shades of red, lavender, lilac gray, bright red, turquoise, Caribbean blue, royal blue, violet, and black.
Think bralette meets support. There's no wires, no lace, and no frills, but the fabric supports really well. The front is lightly padded for modesty and to be more comfortable against your skin. The edges are bonded (along the top and bottom front of the bra) so there's no itchy stitching to irritate your skin.
The straps don't adjust, but they are stretchy and can be worn standard or criss-crossed.
Comes in blue, pink, and black, US sizes 32A-38D. B’tempt’d is made by Wacoal, but tends to run a little smaller than their sister brand.
Soft, comfy, and so not like a lacy, frilly bra you could probably let it show under something else. It’s even made mostly of cotton (53%) for comfort and breathability. No clasps or hooks to bother with, just pull it over your head.
Comes in 14 different colors, including gray, pink, black, and pale blue in sizes XS - 3X. Calvin Klein tends to run small so keep that in mind when ordering.
A simple, triangle bra with the CK logo along the band. No lace, no frills and no hooks to dig into your back. The straps can be worn standard or criss-crossed. It’s also 92% cotton, for comfort. Good for lounging, or for smaller busted women who don’t need a lot of support. Since the band is wide, it’s better if you have a smaller abdomen (so the band doesn’t cut into your stomach).
Comes in eleven colors, including black, gray, beige, red, and teal in sizes XS-XL (again this brand runs extra small, so adjust accordingly).
A smoothing, contour bra with no wires and no bows. The sides and back are high to help smooth out bulges and keep back fat under control. Since it’s a contour bra, it is a bit thicker, which will help hide nipples and give you a more even shape if you are full on bottom.
The straps adjust in the front, which makes it easier to get the length right. The straps do have a bit of shimmery fabric, but it's not super-noticeable.
Comes in black, white, toasted almond, butterscotch/white dot, butterscotch/leopard, pale pink, mauve, and lilac. US sizes 34A-C, 36A-D, 38B-D, 40B-C.
Fuller Figure Smooth Wire Free Bras
No lace, no frills, just smooth fabric with a contrasting color along the straps and outside the cups. The straps adjust in the center so it’s easier to get the right fit while wearing the bra. It’s got a wide center panel, so it’s better if you are wide-set. You can also wear the straps criss-crossed.
Comes in damask/white, white, black/white, frost/gray, navy/caribbean blue, and fuchsia/black. Sizes 36-38 C-DD; 40-44 B-DD.
A comfy bra for people who hate wearing bras! There’s no wire, no itchy lace, and no mesh, bows, or fuss. It’s slightly padded for nipple control, but there are no bumps or lumps to show under clothing. It also has elastic along all the edges (cups, band and sides) for a better fit.
It comes in 24 colors, including black, periwinkle, teal. light beige, beige, brown, grape, orchid, and white. Some of the colors are plain, and some have either a jacquard or a swirl design. All are flat, so they won’t be noticeable under t-shirts.
US sizes 32-42 B-DD.
Molded (and slightly padded for shaping and coverage, rather than size), this bra will look smooth under whatever you wear. The straps are wide and cushioned to be more comfortable. It comes in an astounding array of sizes for fuller figures.
The arched center panel will make this bra more comfortable if you have a larger stomach, as it won’t dig into your tummy.
Comes in white, beige, red, lavender, black, and leopard in US sizes 36-54 A, B, C, D, DD. The cups are generously sized, so keep that in mind.
This one covers from average bust into fuller figure sizes. It's all organic cotton, nickel free, and has a racerback, so the straps won't peek out under tank tops and make it easier for you to move around, without worrying about strap slippage.
Since it's entirely cotton, it has less stretch than a bra with latex or stretch material, so keep that in mind.
Comes in gray, white, and black in sizes 4-13 (equivalent of 32B-44D)
Full Bust (Small Band Large Cup) Wireless Bras
No wires, no seams, and a super-soft stretchy knit all add up to a bra that’s so comfortable and easy to wear you won’t want to tear it off at the end of the day. No fidgeting, twisting, or fussing.
The leotard back keeps the straps in place so they won’t slide off your shoulders during the day.
The arched center and narrow band will also be more comfortable if you have a larger stomach. The design keeps the bra away from your tummy so the middle and the bottom won't dig into your body.
Comes in beige, raspberry, light blue, navy, and black in US sizes 30B-DDD, 32B-DDD, 34A-DDD, 36A-DD, 38 B-D, and 40A.
A highly supportive sports bra, with no wires. It has both encapsulation and compression, which will keep everything in place without giving you uniboob. You can run, bounce, do Zumba, or just go grocery shopping without bouncing.
The racerback option allows you to wear it under sleeveless or tank tops without the straps showing through. Since the racerback hook is metal, not plastic, it’s strong enough to hold up even larger busts.
Comes in a rainbow of colors and prints, including beige, pink, coral, teal, khaki, zebra, purple, and black. UK sizes 28DD-H, 30D-H, 32C-H, 34, 36, and 38 B-H, and 40D-G.
Small Busted and Petite "Tomboy" Bras
A great, minimalist bra for shorter bodies. This is technically a sports bra (good for low or medium impact exercises such as race walking or yoga).
It’s soft and lined and pulls right over your head (no hooks to dig into your back). There are angled seams for shaping and to help you look rounder and it does have some padding for modesty.
The cups are running a little small, so keep that in mind. Also, since this is a sports bra it may feel a bit tight at first (even in the right size), so allow for it to stretch a little.
Ivory, petal pink, and black in sizes 28, 30, 32, 34A-C, 36A-B and 38A.
No clasps or hooks to fuss with, this bra slips right over your head. It's made from soft, organic cotton, without any latex (which can cause reactions in some people). There's no padding to make you look unnaturally bigger than you are, but angled seams give you better lift and shaping.
Comes in ivory, gray, and black. Designed to fit smaller cup sizes only (A and B), and band sizes from 30 to 38. Sizes are 4-7.
The soft knit fabric is comfortable against your skin and the smoothing back ensures no lumps or bulges show through your clothing. The cups are lightly lined to minimize headlights. It won't flatten your bust, and the sturdy band helps stop it from rolling up as you move around. No lace, no frills, just comfort.
Comes in 12 colors, including black, rose, almond, butterscotch, white, and teal in sizes XS-2X (equivalent of 30A to 44B/C), 40D.
