Backless bras are quite a controversial subject. For starters, do they really do anything? And wouldn’t it just be easier to go braless? It’s a yes to both for us, which proves exactly why this is such a tricky lingerie item to pin down and feel content with. So if you’re in need of a bit of support and don’t want to feel exposed (not to mention if you have a fuller bust), there are definitely outfits that require such an item. Whether that’s a plunging top, dress or jumpsuit, a backless bra can come in handy and really make your whole look.
Backless bras will help you unlock a multitude of outfit options.
But like strapless bras, they’re a much-maligned item in the world of fashion. We’re quick to condemn the lingerie piece without even trying to find ones that work. To remedy this, we hunted down the backless bras that have the best reviews on the internet. Not only did we find a bra that costs less than a tenner, but we also uncovered useful tips and tricks to sourcing this difficult item. Keep scrolling for more.
On Amazon, 98% of reviewers gave this bra five stars (enough said considering its price is super reasonable too). The most recent reviewer revealed that this is “an excellent product.” She wore it as a bridesmaid, and it gave her “good support and stayed on all day.” However, as she’s a B-cup, she did warn it might not be great for fuller busts. Something to consider when choosing your backless bra.
We’ve made no secret of the fact that we love Marks and Spencer lingerie, so where better to find a decent strapless bra than the high-street store? For this bra, it can be transformed into so many different styles it can be “worn with practically any outfit,” according to the high-street brand. To make it backless, you can either wear the clear (practically invisible) strap that will also offer you more support or use the waist strap to make it work for lower-back dresses.
For just enough coverage without a full bra style, these adhesive silicone patches do just the trick. One review noted, “Even under a thin tight bodysuit you can’t see the edges.” Plus, this comes in two sizes and three tones for the perfect match for you.
The reviews show that this stick-on bra remains in place regardless of heat or duration of wear. “Its first outing was an all day wedding in 36 degrees heat in Italy..perfect staying power,” said one reviewer, whilst another wedding-goer said, “It stays put all day and night.”
Another one for those with a bigger cup size is this highly recommended bra that is available on Amazon. “I’m a 34D, which isn’t that big, but I always struggle with strapless bras,” said the reviewer, but luckily this worked for them. They did, however, follow the guidelines and get a cup smaller to ensure the fit.
You can tighten the corset design at the front for more cleavage.
