When going braless just isn't an option, bralettes will save the day. They're the more casual, laidback sister to "real" bras, which often have more boning, underwire, and/or padding in their designs. Bralettes, if they do their jobs right, feel like a second skin because you don't want to immediately fling them off as soon as you get home. (Most days, I happily lounge around in my bralette and T-shirts.) Bralettes are also the perfect season-less staple because they can be worn under a chunky knit sweater or under a flouncy maxi dress. Or, if you're feeling extra brave, let your bralette peek out from underneath your linen button-down or backless ensembles. Ahead, we rounded up our favorite bralettes to shop right now, from dreamy florals to romantic lace designs.
