No matter how much you might hate the idea of wearing one, the best strapless bras are a necessary evil when it comes to that off-the-shoulder winter wedding guest dress or top with a tricky neckline. And believe it or not, a strapless isn’t supposed to slide down with every movement, even if that might be your previous experience.
“Look for a strapless bra with snug band,” Alicia Miller, director of merchandising and fit specialist at lingerie maker Chantelle, tells Glamour. In fact, some experts even say to size down. “A band that’s too big is the most common reason for slipping—no matter your bust size. Make sure your boobs are contained along the top of the cup, particularly near the arm, where you tend to see spillage in a bad fit, which is very obvious under clothing.” If you think a strapless bra is uncomfortable by design, that just means you haven’t found the right one, says Miller. That’s where we come in. All the bras on this list have been worn for full days at a time, and even danced in, and come highly recommended by our editors, stylists, and everyone else in our network who has boobs.
Whether you’re on the hunt for a comfy wireless bra for a tube top, a bra for a small chest, a bra for large busts that’s as hardworking as the best push-up bras in your closet for a cocktail dress, or a bra you can snag on Amazon, the right strapless bra is out there. So throw on your most impractical ’fit, and shop our picks for the best strapless bras, according to Glamour’s team of testers.
Each type of strapless bra serves a specific purpose, and the category has evolved over time to cater to different wardrobe needs and body types. Today you’ll find several types of strapless bras designed to provide varying levels of support, comfort, and styles. Traditional underwire strapless bras, like the ThirdLove 24/7 Classic Strapless Bra, have reliable support with more structured cups and often come in a wide size range. For those more focused on comfort, options like the Aerie Sunnie Strapless Lightly Lined Bra provide a softer, lightly padded cup, and Skims' bandeau is stretchy, wireless, and seamless. Backless, adhesive silicone bras, such as the Gatherall Bra, offer a simple hack for backless and strapless outfits, sticking directly to the skin. Push-up strapless bras, like the Aerie Show Off Strapless Push Up Bra, give you an added lift for a more enhanced bust underneath low-neckline tops and dresses.

Praised for its softness and flexibility, this breathable strapless bra is the wire-free style you didn’t know you needed—especially if you have small breasts, says Hailey Rizzo, founder of fashion blog Feeling Good as Hail. “As a small-chested woman, I’ve always struggled with finding a strapless bra that doesn’t fall or gap as I wear it throughout the day. This bra has a grip to it that helps maintain support on every part of my chest, meaning there’s no gap or constantly adjusting of the bra. Not only do I feel supported, but the bra itself is flattering.” It’s practically seamless underneath clothing too. “It’s like a second skin, which I love,” says Rizzo. “Plus, there’s no wire, which is a personal must when shopping for bras.” Keep in mind that this option doesn’t come with detachable straps to wear as a regular bra.
“This molded underwire bra is virtually undetectable even under knits, thanks to a concealed underwire,” says Chantelle Hartman Malarkey, entrepreneur and social media influencer. It comes with removable straps that can be worn conventionally, halter style, or crossed in the back, making it the perfect match for your favorite tank tops. Plus, it goes up to a G-cup so there’s optimal support for larger busts.

Need a little extra coverage? This wireless bra gets the job done without being bulky. “I am busty and usually dislike wearing strapless, but the Enbliss wireless strapless bra from Soma is a slam dunk,” says Linda Schlesinger-Wagner, founder of Skinnytees. You’ll appreciate the soft fabric and slip-proof silicone lining across the band. “I don’t have to worry about it slipping down ever, and it actually fits my busty chest,” says Schlesinger-Wagner. But if you did want extra support from adjustable straps, those come included with your bra anyway.
If you’re searching for a true second-skin feel, consider the Fits Everybody Bandeau from Kim Kardashian’s shapewear line, Skims. This smooth bandeau stretches across curves with zero cutting and complete comfort, and is available in an inclusive range of skin tones and sizes. “I love the butter-feeling fabric—it’s truly the most comfortable,” says Nina Vargas, celebrity business strategist and stylist. It’s also moisture wicking, so you don’t have to worry about walking around in a damp bra in the summertime. This is undoubtedly one of the best seamless bras—and best bandeaus—in the game.
The Natori Feathers Bra has a cult following for a reason, and the same goes for this strapless version that’s hands-down one of the best bras out there thanks to its support, lump-free padding, and silicone grippers for a no-slip fit. “I wear the strapped version of this popular bra daily, and it’s a favorite among Glamour editors (and readers), so I’m pleased to report that the fit here doesn’t disappoint either,” says Brie Schwartz, our commerce director. “It gives you shape (no awkward uni-boob here), didn’t fall down after 12 hours on a wedding dance floor thanks to the wide band, and offers plenty of support. Plus it’s helpful if you have issues in the sagging department. That said, it’s not exactly comfortable, and it left some marks after many hours of wear—but it does stay put.” Be aware that it runs a little small, Schwartz points out. And while it does go up to a DDD cup in sizing, it’s important to note that its band size only goes up to 36.

This cushiony bra manages to be comfortable, even with an underwire. It won’t dig and poke into your ribcage or leave you with unwanted marks. Because it’s so lightweight, it’s perfect for wearing all day long without the risk of discomfort. “The support is great, and I feel like my boobs are in place but also looking right,” says fashion professional AK Brown. Thanks to the included (and removable) straps, you’re also not stuck wearing this only as a strapless option. You can wear it as a halter, crisscross, or of course, a standard T-shirt bra.
The cups on this signature Victoria’s Secret bra feature a nonslip band that prevents them from sliding down throughout the day, with padding designed to almost double your cup size if that’s what you’re going for. “This bra is a game-changer, especially for someone who hates padded bras,” says Glamour contributor Brittany Romano. “It also provided the necessary support for my scoliosis but didn’t dig into my skin or leave me reaching for my back roller.” Another standout feature of this strapless bra is its convertible design. With its adjustable and removable straps, you have the flexibility to wear it in multiple ways, including strapless, halter, crisscross, or one-shoulder. Whether you’re attending a special event or simply want to make wearing your everyday tops easier, this bra delivers an unparalleled fit.
This padded bra gets the job done without being too bulky. You’ll appreciate the soft fabric and sweat-proof silicone lining across the band, and if you did want extra support from adjustable straps, those come included. “I know it’s expensive, but it’s worth it,” says Glamour tester Jade Lopez. “I don’t like when bras don’t fully cover my breasts, so I appreciate how high up the ones on this bra sit. I don’t have to worry about it slipping throughout the day, and if I don’t feel like wearing it as a strapless bra, it comes with reusable straps for more of an everyday vibe. It’s super comfortable too!”

Simple is sometimes best, as evidenced by this classic strapless bra that offers great support underneath off-the-shoulder and low-cut tops or dresses. It has a soft lace band that feels like nothing on, plus molded cups that look super smooth underneath your clothes. “I can honestly wear this all day without feeling like I’m wearing a bra,” says Glamour tester Alexandra Simmons. “It also doesn’t slip or float at the top, which is usually an issue given the small size of my breasts. I don’t know if I can go back to another option, honestly.” Since it’s on the more delicate side, hand-washing is extra important to maintain its shape—no net bags. However, with comfort like this and included removable straps, it’s worth the effort.

Complete coverage? Check. No-slip silicone at the underwire, sides, and back? Check. Not only that, but this comes in sizes from 34B to 44DD. The strapless fit is perfect for wearing underneath a tank top or tube top—just note that if you’re going for a seamless look, its padding is still visible under some tops. You can find it sold individually on Amazon—but if you’re as sold as we are, snag a two-pack or a three-pack and get a variety of colors. It wouldn’t hurt to have this on deck in both beige and black, the way Glamour contributor Brigitt Earley does: “You can’t beat the price, and it’s one of the few strapless bras whose wire doesn’t totally dig into my sternum.”

If you’re trying to figure out how to wear one of those chic low-back tops or backless dresses with some kind of boob support, meet your new favorite wardrobe hack. This strapless bra is self-adhesive and actually stays put, as proven by the rave reviews, and will offer a bit of lift for any plunging neckline. “The Secret Weapon bra is the perfect strapless bra and has the amazing all-day support you need with any outfit,” says fashion professional Ayana Gordon. While it’s not the easiest bra to clean and absolutely requires hand-washing, it will last you a long time thanks to the powerful adhesive. And with a price tag of under $20, it’s truly a bang for your buck if you ever do get to the point of needing a replacement.
Another great adhesive option with a deep plunging neckline that works with any number of uniquely designed clothing items, this bra is a stylist go-to. “I personally love it because it stays in place regardless of what I’m doing,” says fashion stylist Marlene Anzaldua. “The deep-plunge bra is perfect for date-night outfits, and the adhesive is reusable.” The bra can be used more than 50 times—a huge bonus, especially at this price point.
Petites and those with smaller chest sizes, this one’s for you. This supportive underwire bra comes in band sizes from 30 to 36 and features subtle lace detailing for a feminine touch. “This bra has lightly padded cups that provide a good amount of lift without looking ridiculous,” says tester Brittany Fink. “The lace is cute too.” Reviewers also note that while it does have an underwire, it doesn’t poke your skin uncomfortably or leave unwanted marks. Sounds like a 10/10 to us.

Have a smaller bust? This pack of stretchy, barely there bandeaus will work in your favor. “I don’t have big breasts, but I also don’t like underwire bras,” says Glamour tester Maria Navarro. “These are super stretchy and slip right on, and you can't see them underneath my clothes. I love that they come in a pack of three, and I could wear them all day long without even feeling like I’m wearing a bra.”
