Strapless Bras. Our Bra Style Guide: A Comprehensive series written by our own in house bra specialist

Strapless bras are a wardrobe essential, offering both support and versatility. Whether you're wearing a backless dress, a strapless top, or a one-shoulder silhouette, a well-fitted strapless bra can elevate your look and boost your confidence. But with so many options available, it can be challenging to find the right one. In this guide, we'll delve into the world of strapless bras, explore their benefits and provide expert tips for choosing the perfect fit.

What is a strapless or multiway bra?

A strapless bra is designed to be worn without straps, offering support and lift without visible straps. It's ideal for backless, off-shoulder, and strapless garments. On the other hand, a multiway bra is a versatile style that can be worn in multiple ways, including strapless, halter, one-shoulder and traditional. This type of bra offers maximum flexibility and can be altered to complement endless outfits.

How should a strapless bra fit?

Consider your bust size and shape: A well-fitted strapless bra should provide ample support and prevent spillage. Opt for a bra with wider bands and sturdy construction to ensure optimal support, especially for larger bust sizes.
Look for quality materials: High-quality materials, such as microfibre and lace, offer comfort, durability and excellent support.
Prioritise comfort: A comfortable strapless bra is essential for all-day wear. Look for styles with soft, breathable fabrics and adjustable closures.
Consider additional features: Some strapless bras come with additional features like silicone grippers, clear straps and convertible straps, which can enhance versatility and support.
