For a small piece of clothing, bras – and the wearing of them – can be a contentious issue. Some women can’t stand them, some can’t imagine going a day (or even a night) without wearing one, and men... Well, no-one cares what men think on the subject. But even for the staunchest of underwire, lifting up and holding in bra lovers, one thing is for certain – over the past year (and three lockdowns in), we’ve all started indulging in a few more bra-free days.
Because as functional and necessary as a bra can be, every woman knows how uncomfortable they can be – especially an ill-fitting one (if your bra sizing has changed through lockdown and you haven’t been able to be re-measured, you’ll know the pain). Going braless is of course an option – but if you don’t feel comfortable to fully let the girls out (even if it is under your WFH loungewear), or would still like some support, what options are there?

If you're looking to forgo a bra for the remainder of lockdown - or for good - there's a host of camisoles, wireless bras, bandeau tops, bodysuits, and crop tops that won't dig in or compress your girls, but still provide a measure of support and cover. Strappy camis and vest tops are by far the most popular bra alternative of those who've made the change - and they come in a huge variety of colours and styles. From lacey, silk styles to super soft stretch jersey options (so comfy you'll forget it's on), transitioning to these strappy undershirts is a great option, especially for smaller busts. Plus some of the cuter, more colourful styles, like this Iets Frans ribbed cami, double as a stylish summer top in their own right.
