Finding the right bra is like finding a significant other—you spend so much time with them, it needs to be a good fit. But tracking down the right bra isn't always easy, in part due to the sheer variety of options out there. Plus, it takes time to figure out whether you feel like your comfiest, sexiest, most supported self in an underwire bra, a balconette bra, a bralette (opens in new tab), a molded cup bra, or no bra at all (we're team free the nip, especially when WFH).
A good bra should fit like a second skin and serve as the base for your lingerie collection. Ahead, we rounded up the bra brands you can trust—including DTC brands, Black-owned lingerie labels, and much more—so you're picking from the best selections out there. If you're looking to expand your entire lingerie collection, check out our edit of the best lingerie brands.
