Bralettes have been all the rage lately, with bralettes peeking out everywhere. You’ve undoubtedly seen them on your Instagram feed or maybe bought one while shopping at your favourite store. Even celebrities have gotten in on the action: Kendall Jenner stunned in a black lace bralette worn over a fitted white top, Taylor Swift pairs hers with skirts, and Chrissy Teigen has been seen wearing one.
Bralettes may appear to be completely useless (too revealing—and what are you supposed to wear with them?) at first, but that isn’t the case. Bralettes, in fact, make the unwearable wearable. Have you ever considered wearing an open-back top with a bralette? What about an off-the-shoulder dress? Or maybe a sheer lace blouse would work better? A bralette is an answer to all of these issues, believe it or not.
How to Wear a Bralette
Do you need a little push to get you started? Below are 15 different ways to wear a bralette, as well as outfit ideas and where to buy them. You’re sure to discover one that fits your style, size, and shape.
1. Peeking out of an off-the-shoulder top
A beautiful bralette can help you get away with wearing off-the-shoulder tops if everyone isn’t a fan of strapless bras. This is where a lovely bralette comes in handy.
2. Under a sheer top
A bralette is an excellent choice for layering under a sheer top.
3. Under a blazer or suit jacket
A black bralette may be worn instead of a blouse or top.
4. With a sporty jumpsuit
A sleeveless athletic-inspired bralette is a great match for a sporty jumpsuit. You get to choose how much or little skin you want to reveal.
5. Under a chunky cardigan
Who says a big cardigan can’t be attractive? Flaunt a bralette that you want everyone to notice.
6. Denim and lace
A denim jacket is ideal for layering over a lace bralette.
7. As a crop top
For a pulled-together look, match your bralette to your pants.
8. In the boudoir
An exquisite bralette with a matching silk robe will make your loungewear more stylish.
9. Over a shirt
Is this bralette too modest to wear alone? For a completely new perspective on the trend, combine a bralette with a white button-down shirt.
10. Under a shirt
Under a white button-down, show off your contrasting bralette and let it peek out from beneath.
11. Try one in leather
A leather bralette adds a little unexpected flair to high-waist pants.
12. Wear a leather bralette over a fitted shirt or turtleneck
Wear a leather bralette with jeans for a more modest look throughout the day.
13. To cover up cleavage
When peeking out of a V-neck blouse, a high-neck bralette provides just enough coverage while still being versatile.
14. In place of jewellery
When worn beneath a V-neck top, a strappy high-neck bralette takes the place of a necklace.
15. With an exposed back
When worn with an open-back top, a lacy racerback bralette looks far superior to a bra strap.
