The Best Strapless Bras Backed by Our Editors

Featuring lightly padded underwire cups, the editor-backed Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra is one of the most supportive strapless bras, especially for those with larger busts. It provides more of a fuller coverage and a secure fit, so you feel supported all day and night long. The bra also has a silicone strip lining along the cups and the top and bottom edges of the bra's band, providing extra grip support so that it won't slide down. The detachable straps are great for creating halter, crisscross, traditional, and one-shoulder styles.

It comes in sizing ranging from 30 to 44 band size and B to H cup size. It's available in five neutral colors.

Editor Quote: "From the flattering foam cups and cushioned bottom band, which provides an extra layer of support, to the silicone strip lining, which helps to keep the style in place and prevents it from slipping down (even during the hottest days when you might feel sweat-prone and sticky), the strapless bra ticks every single box with regard to functionality, and it's supremely comfortable, too. For context: this Wacoal bra feels so lightweight and supportive while on, it's literally replaced every other traditional bra in my intimates drawer." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, commerce

Pepper MVP Multiway Strapless Bra ($65)

The brand specifically designs bras for those with smaller breasts, including a wide range of extra sizes, so you can get both comfort and a perfect fit.

This bra comes with adjustable straps for multi-way styling, and it has a silicone nonslip strip so it stays put all day long.

It comes in AA, A, and B cup sizes ranging from 30 to 40 band size. The bra comes in four neutral shades as well.

Editor Quote: "It has a thicker band that can tightly fit to your body, without being so compressing that it leaves a mark and while doing a good job of staying put. The cups are made smaller but smooth, so I can easily fill them out, and it even gives the right amount of cleavage on the top. I can wear it under tanks, sweaters, T-shirts, or pretty much anything. It feels so comfortable, I don't even realize I'm wearing a strapless bra sometimes, making it a real winner." — Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce

Editor Quote: "This is the only strapless bra I have ever liked. It has a great range of sizes, perfect for any full bust or plus-size bra wearers. I have worn it for hours to weddings and felt no pain or digging in, and it actually stays up. But I did learn one pro tip about putting on strapless bras that, like this one, come with straps. Put it on first with the straps on so the placing is right, and then remove the straps (you will probably need someone to help you). That ensures you're getting all the lift you want and need." — Victoria Edel, staff writer, movies & TV

Victoria's Secret Sexy Illusions Lightly-Lined Strapless Bra ($24, originally $50)

Get it in band sizes ranging from 32 to 42 and cup sizes A to DDD. It comes in five neutral colors.

Editor Quote: "As a 32DD, I prefer bras that are lightly lined so that I feel supported and covered without adding more mass to my chest with thick padding. This strapless bra from Victoria's Secret solves so many of my strapless-bra woes. For starters, the cups have a smoothing effect that makes it look like I'm braless, plus the cups don't curl up either. The cup and bands are lined with a no-slip coating that actually keeps everything in place, which I really appreciate because most bra bands tend to slip down on my back. But what I appreciate the most about this bra is that the center (where the V-hardware is) is not chunky. I can wear this bra with tops and dresses with keyhole cutouts without worrying it's going to show underneath." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, commerce

The Adapt Underwire Strapless Bandeau Bra is surprisingly supportive for a bra that feels like a bandeau. It stays up, is lightly lined, and doesn't dig into my armpits or sides — so if anyone is looking for a comfier strapless bra, this may be the one." — Alida Araica, manager, marketing & distribution
