I love the look of a deep V-neck, and the bone color made it feel like a casual T-shirt bra. The plunge bralette from the Cotton Collection proved to be more my speed. Maybe user error? A lesson for me to stop cleaning? It’s a good bra if you don’t mind a hint of.danger? It appeared to be a great everyday bra until I bent down to pick something up and my boobs-which aren’t that big (I’m a 34C)-came spilling out. Usually I can only get those with underwire or padding (this bra has neither of those things). But then came the shocker: It gave me a major cleavage moment. Looking at the two bras next to one another, I thought for sure I’d be a bigger fan of the Fits Everybody collection-it’s buttery-soft to the touch, it has no clasp, and I was able to slip it on over my head just like a sports bra. $32 at Skims Rebecca Brown, commerce editor The Cotton Collection shares a similar no-fuss ethos-and is great if you’re looking for styles that deliver hours-long comfort and support for WFH, running errands, or lounging. Think of them as the workhorse pieces your top drawer needs to solve any kind of tricky dressing problem, with a true second-skin fit. True to its name, the bras in the Fits Everybody collection are inclusive, versatile, and effortless to wear all day, every day. The pieces we settled on came from its two hero lines, Fits Everybody and the Cotton Collection. Luckily, Skims is in major restock mode right now, so it was the perfect time for us to finally give its best-selling bras a try. The brand’s bras and bralettes are that good-and totally worth your coin, if only you can get your hands on them before the rest of the internet does. That extra time and attention to detail can translate into a more comfortable, elegant-looking bra.If you’re reading our Skims reviews because you can’t stop wondering if the hype is real, we’ll give it to you straight: Everything you’ve heard about Skims and its next-level undergarments is pretty much true. But high-end bras often have more-intricate components and finishings that take hours for a skilled craftsperson to sew. Pretty much every bra-even a $10 bra from Target-must be at least partially sewn by hand, she said. However, Harrington told me, if you’re spending more than $100 on a bra, you should expect to see high-quality materials (such as silk, Chantilly lace, or plush-velvet lining) and masterful stitching details. You can get a good bra for under $70 (most we recommend cost less), and spending more won’t guarantee that the bra will look better, feel more comfortable, or last longer. Price: We set a price cap of $150 per bra for our testing pool.Two weeks should be enough time to try on your bra, test it out, and swap it for a new size, if need be. We preferred bras that could be returned or exchanged within 14 days (and ideally longer) to ensure a better fit. Return policy: Almost all of the brands we considered offered free returns.Style and materials: We made a point to consider bras with a wide variety of cup styles and materials (from cotton to spandex to Chantilly lace) that we felt would look flattering on a multitude of bodies.Size and color options: We preferred (though it wasn’t a requirement) bras that come in (at least) sizes A to DDD with a 32- to 40-inch band (or XS to XXXL for bralettes), and at least two shades of nude.Mainstay styles: We chose not to test any limited-edition bras (like those from Savage x Fenty) because they tend to sell out quickly and get replaced with different styles.Testers of all sizes, from A to F cups, thought it was the most comfortable push-up bra they tried (though the Classic Uplift we also recommend gives this one a run for its money). The band and straps are both adjustable, and the straps can also be positioned as a cross-back, so it’ll work with more types of tops. Its band is well proportioned and supportive, despite having no underwire. Some push-up bras we tried felt stiff and overly stuffed, whereas the True Body’s cups were soft and flexible (though they’re thicker than those of most other bras we recommend-it is a push-up bra, after all). They’re lightly filled with a soft layer of foam padding that’s concentrated toward the bottom to provide more lift. The cups have elegant, curvaceous lines that dip low in the front to accommodate plunging necklines. The material feels smooth and delicate yet durable, like it’ll hold up to significant wear. The True Body feels sturdily made-we didn’t detect any flimsy seams or other imperfections in the construction.
