The 12 Best Strapless Bras of 2025, According to Editors and Real Reviews

Style Notes: Featuring a linear shape and seamless design, this style boasts a buttery fabric that stretches with your body and a no-cut design that offers subtle support without digging.

Colours: Eight, including black, sand, clay and cocoa.

Size: XS - 4XL

Editor Review: It's no secret that Who What Wear managing editor, Poppy Nash is a fan of Skims shapewear. This style is no different. "It just is so incredibly comfy and supportive," she explains. "I would not be raving about it if I thought it was 'meh', but it honestly is very brilliant. It doesn't leave any awkward bra lines through a dress or blouse and washes very well. The only thing of note is that it's not suitable for V-neck or scooped styles as it's cut straight across. But, given that it comes in lots of colours to suit a lot of skin tones, it's a win for me."

Style Notes: This style comes with a deceivingly supportive scoop that suits rounded necklines and patented silicone dots that helps avoid gaping.

Colours: Two, black and blush.

Cup Size: A - G

Size: 30- 40.

Editor Review: According to deputy editor, Maxine Eggenberger, the Wonderbra ulitmate strapless bra is a total game changer. "Before this bra I was never able to wear a strapless, halter or awkwardly cut dress or top. I'm a 32G and, personally, hate not being supported in this area. After years of spending money on strapless bras that did absolutely nothing, I called it a day and resided myself to the fact that I'd never bare a shoulder. Then I was asked to be a bridesmaid, the bride already having picked out a strapless gown for me to wear. So, my search was reignited. I devoted three weekends to exclusively trying on strapless bras and, finally, I found this style from Wonderbra. I warn you, it's highly structured—the formed bra contains robust hand-shaped moulds that act, well, like hands to physically lift you up. The inside is coated with a strong rubber adhesive that helps keep it in place, too. While it won't ever be the comfiest bra I own, it is easily the comfiest, most high-performing bra I've tried. As far as I'm concerned, if you have a fuller bust and are looking for A+-level support, it's not worth entertaining anything else."

Style Notes: A push-up style with padding adds one cup size.

Colours: Three, black, white and praline nude.

Cup Size: A -DDD

Band Size: 32 - 38

Editor Review: Junior fashion editor, Imani-Nia Francis-Tsolakis explains that no strapless bra has "have quite done the trick" like this Victoria's Secret style. "As someone with a bigger bust, who likes to show off her décolletage, a good-fitting strapless bra is a necessity. I want to feel lifted (from gravity’s sagging impact) and supported at the same time. I especially don’t want to take off my bra and be left with deep red lacerations, which seem to stay for days."

"My issue with most strapless bras in general is that they don’t give the lift I’m looking for. Without that lift, I find these bras tend to sag down, flip over or just leave me extremely frustrated, wishing I’d just opted for a dress that hides the straps. Victoria's Secret Very Sexy hits most of the criteria. Its ’push up’ effect means that your boobs remain lifted and look like boobs and not a compression pack of blur.  For my chest, anyway, I do wish the boning had slightly more support; however, it is still a great option if you’re in."

Style Notes: Soft padding helps to avoid spilling, and the bustband is lined with silicone strips designed to anchor the bra.

Colours: Two, black and sand.

Cup Size: 32D - 36FF

Customer Review: According to one praising customer, this is the only bra you need. "I bought the same bra last year in nude smaller size. It really is the best strapless bra. It fits good, a little snug at the band. Highly recommend!"

Style Notes: Finally—a strapless bra designed with large breasts in mind! The bra features boning in the cups to further support and lift bigger chests without the need of straps. On that note, the straps are detachable, but also quite thick, meaning they're far from flimsy.

Colours: Seven, including biscotti, caramel and beige.

Cup Size: D - J

Band Size: 28 - 40

Customer Review: One buyer said, "the cups and back band offer form support, and great lift. The back band is edged with silicone to keep everything in place, but this can become very uncomfortable throughout the evening!"

Style Notes: Featuring a silicone trim to grip to the top of your breast and a sweetheart neckline, this moulded bra ensures a modest and seam-free wear.

Colours: Two, black and beige.

Cup Size: DD - J.

Band Size: 32 - 42

Customer Review: As of 2025, one reviewer had this to say: "The most comfortable and supportive strapless bra I have ever worn. I’d go as far as saying it’s better than some of the more normal bras! Doesn’t dig in, give you any overhang or need pulling up all the time. I recommend this bra to everyone!"

Style Notes: An affordable high-street purchase that promises to minimise cup size, making it perfect for those who are looking for an affordable chest binder that won't restrict breathing or be overly tight.

Colours: 4, black, chocolate brown, praline nude and white.

Size: 30DD - 40G

Customer Review: According to one five-star-rating shopper, this Next style is a "nice strapless bra". "I don’t like padding, so this is ideal for me. It is also a bit like a minimiser as makes you look smaller. Comfortable to wear all day. True to size."

Style Notes: If a stretchy, breathable and soft strapless bra for you, we can't recommend this one more. With so many colours available and a scooped neckline for maximum wear, this Skims style lives up to its name.

Colours: Eight, including black, sand, clay and cocoa.

Cup Size: A - H

Band Size: 30 - 46

Customer Review: Want more out of your bra than just support for your chest? According to one reviewer, this Skims style "helps alleviate back and shoulder pain."

Colours: Three, dark brown, black and beige.

Size: XS - XL.

Style Notes: Commando was founded with the singular ethos: making something comfortable to wear and look incredible. While this style isn't designed for performance or long-wear by any means, it's the perfect slouchy fit with mid-level support for cosier days where you don't want to go braless.

Colours: Two, black and white.

Size: Two, S/M and M/L.

Customer Review: Describing it as "perfect for summer", one shopper said they "have been needing a bra like this for sundresses. This one is comfortable and stays up!"

Colours: Five, including marzipan and ganache.

Cup Size: A - DDD

Band Size: 32 - 38

Editor Review: SEO writer Ava Gilchrist says that the bare strapless bra from Victoria's Secret is "a hardworking and reliable staple" in her lingerie drawer. "As someone with a large chest, but who doesn't want to feel limited by this fact, I often wear this strapless bra when wearing lower-cut tops and dresses with thin straps. I've had it for a few years now, so I desperately need to repurchase it, but I honestly can't fault it based on usefulness alone. It's gotten me out of many styling pickles, but I will admit it's not the most comfortable after a few hours. I find the underwire digs into my ribs, and I often find myself applying an anti-chafe balm (my go-to is THICC Stick) before wearing it for extra adhesion, as it does slide down if I'm wearing it all day."

Style Notes: Channel your inner Satine with this boudoir-appropriate strapless style from high-street favourite, M&S. A scalloped edge brings a point of difference, making it look as good as it feels.

Colours: Two, rose quartz and white.

Cup Size: A - E

Band Size: 32 - 42.

Customer Review: Rating it excellent for quality, value for money, style, comfort and support, one M&S shopper had this to say. "I really like this bra, I originally wanted a bra without wire, but I have a large cup size, so I decided this was a. better fit. I didn't want any silicone strips as these can irritate the skin, which this bra doesn't have. The lace is pretty and makes it look more expensive than it is, and it looks nice on. I bought the rose quartz colour and it looks good under a range of tops and dresses. Really pleased with my purchase."
