What is the difference between bralette and bra?

Last Updated on March 21, 2022 by Sarah Keene

The main difference between a bra and a bralette is that bralettes are softer, more lightweight and are usually made without wiring. As a result, they give lighter support than a regular bra.

In this regard, is it better to wear a bra or bralette? As long as you’re wearing a bra that fits properly, it actually provides many health benefits, stemming from the support it gives to the wearer. Although bralettes are softer and more flexible, they’re not the perfect option for everyone, especially women with larger breasts who need that extra support.

Beside the above, what is the point of bralettes? Comfort. One of the biggest reasons people wear a bralette is for the comfort factor. Bralettes tend to be wire-free, which can be very comfortable. And they tend to be very unstructured, without an inner cup sling or super firm material.

Also, can you wear bralettes as bras? The best part about a bralette is that it doubles as innerwear and outerwear. You can wear yours in place of a bra (there’s no need to wear a bra under a bralette, unless you need some added support) or you can wear your bralette in public as a sort of mini crop top.
