    23 Sheer Bras You Might Just Want To Show Off

    These comfy and cute styles may just convince you to ditch padding for good.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

    1. A mesh bra that comes in so many vibrant colors and funky patterns, you'll have a hard time deciding which one to choose. Luckily, it's under $50, so you *could* buy more than one. Heck, you could even buy one for every day of the week if you wanted to!

    2. A demi bra with gorgeous floral lace that would look super sexy and chic peeking out from behind a blazer. Wearing a bra and a blazer seems like something a main character like you would totally do. 😉

    3. A sheer number from Urban Outfitters that's like a hybrid between a bralette and a sports bra. It has the delicate sexiness of lingerie and the sporty design of your favorite sports bra. Think of all the fun ways in which you can wear this cutie!

    4. An everyday bra that actually comes with a matching pair of panties so you can have a comfortable yet sexy set to wear whenever you want to. More than 3,000 reviewers gave this style five stars, proving that you don't have to spend a ton of money to find a great sheer bra.

    Promising review: "This is my most favorite bra. It supports and by the end of the day I'm not in pain. Great elastic band, still holds up after 6 months. The best part is no boob sweat!! Lol I have ordered every color!" —Natalie Van Noy

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes 32B–38DDD and in 13 styles). 

    5. A sheer lace bralette about to be your favorite choice for the summer with that super cute tank top with an open back. You'll be able to show off this lace style while still feeling a little support, and the fabric allows your puppies to breathe, even if it's hotter than all heck out.

    Promising review: "Super cute and SO comfortable. Runs true to size, I got it in 2 colors. Well made. Recommend." —Lauren

    Get it from Amazon for $16.80+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 18 colors). 

    6. A Cuup plunge mesh bra that may feel a bit tight at first, but after a couple of wears, it will mold to your body and become almost like a second skin. One that you won't mind putting on every day.

    Cuup

    Promising review: "I haven’t been a fan of bras in quite some time. I've just been wearing bralettes and sports bras. This bra feels like a second skin! Excellent fit, and the comfort is unmatchable! The style and fabric are excellent!" —Danielle M.

    Get it from Cuup for $26.97+ (available in band sizes 30–44, cup sizes A–H, and in 17 colors). 

    7. A mesh underwire style with a scalloped floral embroidery trim that lays flat so you can keep that detail ~close to your chest~ when you're wearing a T-shirt.

    Promising review: "I'm pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these bras are. I purchased the nude color first and after wearing it, purchased the white. I wished this came in 20 colors; I'd buy them all. Also, I wish they had matching bottoms. I'm a 34D and feel very supported." —jennietwenty

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 32B–38DDD and in nine styles). 

    8. A mushroom fairy bralette you actually *won't* be rushing to take off as soon as you get home because it's so comfortable you'll want to keep it on and maybe even sleep in it (which you totally can). And just look at that print. It's the ~shiitake~ if you ask me!

    Uye Surana

    And if you want to complete the set, you can grab the matching panties!

    Uye Surana is a woman-owned NY-based small business founded to make lingerie as comfortable as it is beautiful. All of the styles have been fit tested to optimize comfort and support. The bras are made to fit sizes 28A-44G.

    Promising review: "Very comfortable! I like how everything is stretchy and adjustable." —Adela

    Get it from Uye Surana for $54 (available in sizes XS–3XL and in four patterns). 

    9. A sheer mesh bra, featuring a little ✨sparkle✨ in the fabric that will make your whole chest ~shimmer~. The full, lightweight coverage makes it perfect for that barely-there feeling under T-shirts, and one reviewer even says it compares to a much more expensive brand. 👀

    Promising review: "I’ve been looking for a bra that doesn’t enhance or make my chest look larger, but the Skims no-show bra has been sold out in my size. This one is a really fine mesh cup, a little see-through, but I wanted the nude for under white tees, etc. So far, I'm a big fan and will probably buy more. I’m a 34DD, and that’s what I purchased. If you’re chest is 'top heavy' (vs. bottom heavy chest), then I might suggest you size up." —Alexandra Marotta

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 32B–38DDD and in two colors). 

    10. A long-line lace bralette actually lined with a mesh fabric, so it's slightly see-through, but you'll still feel completely covered. Plus, the wide band provides extra support without the need for pesky wires to get in the way.

    Lively

    If you're in between sizes, Lively recommends sizing up so you can adjust throughout the day. 

    Promising review: "This is such a great bralette. Light support and sexy, comfortable for all day and doesn't dig in, great straps and band. It is pretty sheer, at least in the tan color, so fyi if you wear it under sheer items." —ashley

    Get it from Lively for $7 (originally $35, available in sizes XS–L and in eight colors). 

    11. An Eby bralette you'll ~seamlessly~ add to your life because it's made with no seams at all, so nothing will dig in throughout the day. It also will lift your breasts a little while still feeling like you're not wearing a bra. And isn't that the ultimate dream?

    Eby

    Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!? I am finally understanding why no bra has ever fit correctly. This holds my ribs while allowing enough cup coverage that nothing is spilling out. It is lightweight and smooth and so far not too hot. Hopefully, that will remain true in the summer. Thank you for this bra." —Megan

    Get it from Eby (available in sizes 32A-40E, and in seven colors) or from Nordstrom (available in sizes XS–XL, S D/DD and XL D/DD and in black and pink) for $36.80+.

    12. A plunge bralette built specifically with a J-hook on the back that makes it super easy to convert to a racerback style. If you hate your bra straps showing while wearing a tank top, this is an easy solution that will also let your breasts breathe in the summer.

    Promising review: "So comfortable for all day wear. Also, makes the girls look amazing both under clothes and even better without. I have bought two colors and will be getting more. They have washed well, too." —Emart16

    Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in sizes S-3X and in seven colors). 

    13. An embroidered floral bra from Bravissimo, which specializes in bras for D cup and up because everyone, no matter their boob size, should be able to wear a bra that's both cute *AND* supportive. This style has a half cup that makes it great for wearing with lower-cut tops.

    Promising review: "I was a little worried this might be too sheer, but it’s not; it is gorgeous with the fabulous embroidery! I particularly like the way the embroidery carries on up the straps. A very pretty bra, worth that bit extra." —Annette

    Get it from Bravissimo for $79 (available in sizes 30D–38FF and in two colors). 

    14. Calvin Klein marquisette bra designed with fabric that's a mix of nylon and stretch yarns for a super soft feeling that will mold to your natural curves. You'll get that "I'm not wearing a bra" feel while actually wearing a bra.

    Promising review: "This is the bra that I have been looking for forever. Sheer, unlined, but with great shaping and support. You look almost like you're going braless, but just have perfect boobs. After spending much more on other bras that I ended up not liking, it's also incredible to find the perfect bra at such a low price. I ended up ordering two more immediately after wearing the first one for the first time, which I've never done before with a bra. This will definitely be my everyday bra from now on, and I never want to be without it." —Mary

    Get it from Amazon for $13.52+ (available in band sizes 30–38, cup sizes B–DD, and in seven colors and patterns).

    15. A Parade layered mesh bralette you may just ~parade~ around in because you want the world to see how cute this two-toned style is. The double layer provides a little extra coverage but is still super soft and breezy. Throw a sheer top on over it for a great going out look.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this bra, and I also got the matching underwear! The material is soft and not scratchy, which is hard to find with mesh. The bra fits comfortably and has three adjustable settings on the band. It’s my go-to." —Kaylee S.

    Get it from Parade for $25 (originally $36, available in sizes XS–3XL, cup sizes A–F and in two colors). 

    16. A lace underwire bra with removable straps multiple reviewers have called, "the most comfortable strapless bra ever," which is a very hard title to claim. Add in the fact that it actually does come with straps that can be changed depending on your outfit, and you'll have a 10/10 sheer bra that may just be your new favorite.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I’m a 36DD. I bought this bra off the reviews alone. I wore it for well over 12 hours to a wedding I was in and did not fidget with myself once. I danced, bent over, arms above my head, the whole nine yards all day long — and not once did I have to readjust or excuse one back to its assigned seat. The rubber backing on the bra did leave an indent at the end of the day, and I was super glad to take it off — but in reality, that’s the same with any bra I have on — band leaves a mark, and I can’t wait to take it off. Definitely the best strapless bra I’ve ever worn." —chelsea

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes 32A–42DD and in 14 colors). 

    17. Or, a convertible strapless bra if you want an option that's a little simpler. It has thick, removable straps, so you can wear it with everything from T-shirts to your favorite spaghetti strap dress.

    Promising review: "This is my second time purchasing. I love the fact that it's not padded so it feels natural and fits well under my clothing." —julia

    Get it from Amazon for $40.97+ (available in sizes 32A–38D).

    18. A lace and tulle bra for anyone that needs allllll the support they can get when it comes to their breasts but doesn't want to wear a frumpy style. Not only is it beautiful and dainty, but it has full-coverage, four-part cup underwire, unlined cups to help lift and shape, and adjustable straps so you can customize the fit. Essentially, this bra has both beauty *and* brains.

    Promising review:"I have three of these bras, and they are a great fit and very comfortable. I wear a 30G, and it's so hard to find great bras. I also prefer bras without padding, so this one is great for me, very supportive. I highly recommend it!" —Amberb

    Get it from Bare Necessities for $88 (available in band sizes 30–42, cup sizes B–H, and in four colors).

    19. An underwire style, a must-have if you've been wanting to try an unlined bra but aren't ready to invest yet. The affordable price-point on this one makes it a great way to dip your toes in the water. But be warned because reviewers can't stop raving about this one. You may never touch those other bras sitting in your drawer again.

    Promising review: "I truly wasn't sure what to expect of such a sheer bra, but boy, was I surprised! I really love this bra. I'm a 44D, and it supports me very well, and it is so comfortable that I hardly even notice that I'm wearing it. I love it so much I came back and ordered it in every color! You won't be sorry with this one!" —NCTreasure

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 34B–44D and in three colors). 

    20. A longline bralette reviewers with larger cup sizes (DD–H) found comfortable and supportive. Add in the cute boning detail below the cups, adjustable straps, and incredible price-point, and you've got yourself one amazing choice.

    Promising review: "Run to get this! I bought every color! I wear a 32H, and most bralettes don’t fit because of my proportions, but I got a large, and not only did it fit my rib cage, but it also held in and HELD UP my heavy tatas! I was shocked — it looks and feels amazing and supportive. If you, like myself, look for comfort and wanna be cute, these bralettes are it!" —Kit

    Get it from Target for $15 (available in sizes XS-XL and in two colors). 

    21. A mesh bra set that comes with a matching thong for a super sexy set you can wear under everything — from jeans and a T-shirt, to a dress, to nothing at all.

    Promising review: "This is definitely see-through and definitely sexy! The set is also very comfortable and fine for all-day use. Feels great under jeans and a T-shirt and also under a dress. Almost like wearing nothing at all. Of course, the bra doesn't have a lot of support, but it is more supportive than you would think." —Kempers Paradise

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes 32B–40D and in seven colors). 

    22. A Pepper ultra fine bralette specifically designed for people with small boobs because everyone deserves an undergarment that fits properly, keeps them supported, and looks cute, too.

    Pepper is an Asian American woman-owned small business that specializes in bras for people with small boobs. 

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this bra so much that I ordered it in every available color! I'm 40, and my entire life I wore bras that didn't fit right until now. How simple, but how genius." —Liz Lushpenko

    Get it from Pepper for $18 (originally $45, available in sizes XXS-XL and in three colors). 

    23. A minimizer bra that may just be the best bra ever, especially for those with bigger boobs. It's designed with a non-stretchy lace and mesh that supports and also helps to reduce bounce. The underwire helps create a natural lift, and the u-shaped back works to take some of the weight off your shoulders. Plus, the mesh and lace combo gives it a sexy sheer look you'll still feel covered in.

    Promising review: "This is hands down the best bra I’ve ever owned. It’s supportive, holds the girls up nicely, it fits the way a bra should! It looks so good on me and my bf says it’s gorgeous! I ordered my normal size 36DDD and it fits like a dream! I can’t say enough good things about this bra, I ordered one just to try it out but I’m about to order one in every color lol! Buy it!" —Tori S.

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 34C–46DDD and in seven colors).
