Here’s everything you need to know about bralettes.
What is a Bralette?
Simply put, a bralette is a lightweight type of bra that comes without an underwire. It is typically tailored from stretch fabrics like lace, velvet, mesh, modal, and spandex, among many others. Some can be worn like a T-shirt, while others may have zippers in the front or back. You can even find bralettes with a button or hook and eye closure. Supportive bralettes may feature a power mesh-lined bra band and bra cups with strategic seaming.

How to Care for Bralettes?
Hand wash is best for all lingerie, including bralettes. Simply fill your sink with lukewarm water, add a pinch of mild detergent, submerge your bralettes, swish them around, and let them soak for 20 minutes. Drain, rinse, and lay flat to dry in the shade.
However, if you’re too busy to hand wash, you can safely wash them in a washing machine, too – you just need to take a few precautions. Place your bralettes in a lingerie bag to prevent straps from getting wrapped around other clothing and stretching out. Select a delicate or gentle cycle, stick to cold water, and a detergent designed for delicates. When washed, rinse once and either lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Lay your bracelets nice and flat when storing them in your drawer.
Bralettes are the ultimate solution to those seeking the right mix of style and comfort. They not only look beautiful but can also be worn for long hours without causing any discomfort. The best part, you need not hide them under a T-shirt or top. Club one with your favorite pair of denim or a high-waisted skirt and a sheer top or jacket, and you’re good to get going.
