These days, there are about 100 different types of bras and materials to choose between, from seamless and extra-padded bras to unlined and underwire bras. But when it comes to comfort, none usurp a good cotton bra. It’s really the next best thing to being braless, and when you’ve spent a lifetime wearing ultra-structured bras with underwires, you know just how big that is. Since we’re firm believers that great lingerie is also meant to be seen, feel free to incorporate these options into your everyday outfits too.
