Aoxjox Women's Workout Sports Bra

The girlies are obsessed with the many colors, the comfort, and the coverage! Oh, and the fact that it actually looks more like a top than an actual bra. So much to love with this one.
Rave Review: "This was another dupe buy that I picked up from IG/TikTok and am thoroughly happy with! I love the open back detail and felt the fit was true to size. I think you could play around and size up depending on you personal comfort levels. I wore it to jog around and it was supportive enough for me. Definitely considering other color options."

Wacoal b.tempt'd Future Foundation Backless Strapless Bra

Get a load of this unique one with light boning and stretch foam cups. A reviewer is calling it: the "strapless bra meets mini corset" and we totally agree.
Rave Review: "I didn’t think a backless strapless bra existed! I love wearing this with my low back halter tops! It is so incredibly soft and shapes me perfectly. This bra gives me the perfect lift, and unlike other strapless bras it stays in place and doesn’t slip down, I mean, where have you been all my life?!?! The back band is sheer, making it super breathable. I would recommend sizing up on band size. Highly recommend this bra, I wish I found this sooner!"

best designed bra
Nubian Jaiye Basque

You'll feel undeniably powerful in this embroidered design that's available in the warmest shades of brown.
Rave Review: "I have rarely been tempted to buy pretty underwear with lace adornments as they are invariably scratchy and uncomfortable , resulting in much “rearranging,” and unsightly red marks on delicate parts. Not the look one aims for when attempting to look seductive! However, I am so glad I overcame my misgivings as this one truly is so comfortable, supportive, and easy to move in, as well as being utterly beautiful. I have bought many different items from Nubian Skin and can honestly say that they are the most comfortable underwear brand I have ever worn."

What to consider when buying backless bras

Not all backless bras are made the same. Here's what you should keep in mind to select the best one for you.
Support:
- The type of backless bra you'll love really depends on the type of support you'e looking for. For example, silicone adhesive bras are usually a good idea if you don't need as much support and are more interested in just coverage.
- If you're looking for more support, then consider options that use a low back band or clasp or wide-set straps vs. the typical sticky bra options.
Visibility:
- Lastly, make sure whatever bra you go with works for the dress or top you're trying to wear and isn't visible (if that's what you're going for). Strapless adhesive options or nipple covers will be the least visible in any given outfit situation, so if you have a particularly complicated look to pull off and don't want anyone to detect a bra, that's your best bet.
