We all know the relaxing feeling of a well-fitting bralette that gives us much needed support without any restrictive wires. But did you know that the wirefree bra is making waves not just for comfort, but as a fashion statement?
Bralettes have blossomed as a must-have item for many wardrobes – so much so, that for many women one bralette is not enough. Google search volumes for bralettes has shown growth for options such as “lace bralette”, “white bralette”, and “black bralette.” What was once an at-home comfort has quickly turned into a style decision, as wearing bralettes out of doors has become a new trend to watch.
The rise of the bralette has also piqued interest in other wirefree options. Wireless bras aren’t limited to the seamless style of a bralette, but can also provide other kinds of support. Cup separation, adjustable straps, and even wireless push up bras are rising in popularity as women are realising that you don’t always need a wire to get the right support.
Whether you’re already in love with wirefree bras, or are simply bralette curious, we’re here to break down the top trends in these styles that are hitting the streets and the gym.
1. Bralette under a blazer or oversized shirt
If you read our predictions for AW22 fashion trends[WU1] , you will know that this year’s fashion is all about contrast. That’s exactly what this look is all about - the uniqueness of a simple soft white bralette or black bralette under a sharp blazer or oversized shirt. Finish this look off with jeans, and it’s almost smart casual.
To rock this look, try our Sloggi Body Adapt Bralette, the v-neckline will add to the effect.
2. Creative colour with a wirefree sports bra

For style with support, try out sloggi Basic Sporty Sports Bra. Grab it in purple passion for that big, bold look.
3. Double denim with matching wireless bra
Believe it or not, double denim is back and even made a high profile appearance at Kenzo’s AW22 menswear show. Whether it’s a jacket and jeans or a pair of low-cut overalls, you’ll need a bralette to match. You can also play with jacket buttons to reveal just the right amount.
Add some softness to your denim look with our sloggi ZERO In Lace collection. Try the black bralette for contrast or mineral blue to match.
4. Bralette under sheer material
If you love layers and want to tailor your look, try a bralette or wirefree bra under a sheer top or dress, or even a sheer button-up shirt. This look contrasts the confidence of the added coverage with the cheekiness of the bralette underneath. You can choose a lace bralette that is a statement piece, or simply a wireless bra that has a flattering shape.
Try this one with our elegant Magic Wire Lite Push Up Bra, for soft comfort that still adds to the look.
5. Peek through statement under a crop
Shake up a favourite crop top with a new twist by adding a peek through bralette or wirefree bra. Depending on the occasion, you can show a little lace with our fit smart padded bra, or add some interest with the floral patterning of our fit smart bra top.
These are just a few ways to turn a wireless bra into a fashion opportunity. However, with a little creativity, the options are unlimited! Browse our bralette and wirefree bra collections to see what styles could suit you.
