According to The Editorialist, bralettes were seen stomping down the runways of designers like Chloe, Dior, Isabel Marant, and Missoni. "The Spring/Summer '20 runways proved that wearing your bralette beyond the bedroom can be incredibly chic," the publication noted. The optimum way to style this sexy staple is by wearing it under a bold-shoulder suit jacket or sheer top or pairing it with a midi skirt or oversized pant. The trend can be seen on our favorite fashion influences, too, from influencer Ellie Delphine to pop star Dua Lipa.
But before you toss out all your regular bras in favor of these chic alternatives, Lively promises that bras are still the best under option when styling t-shirts, tanks, dress shirts, dresses, and any tighter clothing item that depends on a more seamless shape.
"There's no specific benefit for a bra over a bralette or visa versa," Bravissimo's Paula Skaratt assured Woman & Home. "It's all down to personal choice, the level of support you're after, and what styles you prefer. Choose between the two based on what best fits your lifestyle and keeps you feeling confident and uplifted." In other words, if you feel good, you'll look good!
