Is there anything more satisfying than taking off your bra at the end of a long day? Evidently, yes: not wearing one at all. In spite of so many rotating fashion trends, we’d argue that the braless look is one of this century’s most enduring fads. Thanks to the pandemic and growing interest in more comfortable wardrobe essentials, it’s also here for the long haul.
For as liberating as going braless may be, let’s be real: it isn’t always the most comfortable option, especially for those with midsize and large busts who might be more prone to back pain and discomfort. Fortunately, Uniqlo – ever the brand for functional fashion offerings – has developed the ultimate style for those who’d like to forgo wearing traditional bras without having to sacrifice on comfort and support. Enter in: the bra top.
Unlike other tank tops, these pieces are fitted with a seamless, built-in bra minus any awkward lines to accompany it. The bra tops are designed to mirror the look of a basic tank, but with an extra layer of inner support to ensure your bust feels lifted and comfortable. From tube tops and camisoles to cropped tanks, these styles are designed to cater to all body types and bust sizes. Plus, they come in plenty of color options, too.
Ahead, we tasked five PS editors with testing out Uniqlo’s bra top collection, and asked each to analyze the pieces based off their level of support and stylishness. Keep reading for our editors’s honest reviews and see why these bra tops double as a more comfortable alternative for embracing the braless trend.
First up, we have Sarah, who has a smaller bust size. She tried out the Uniqlo Airism Bra Camisole and was pleasantly surprised by the level of support it provided. “I usually avoid bra tops because they tend to offer little to no support, but this one was different,” she says. “The built-in bra was snug and kept my bust in place without feeling constricting. I also appreciated the breathable fabric, which kept me cool throughout the day.”
Next, we have Emily, who has a midsize bust. She opted for the Uniqlo Airism Bra Sleeveless Top and was impressed by its versatility. “I love that this top can be dressed up or down,” she says. “The built-in bra provided enough support for me to feel comfortable wearing it without a traditional bra. Plus, the fabric is so soft and lightweight, making it perfect for hot summer days.”
For our third editor, we have Rachel, who has a larger bust size. She tried out the Uniqlo Airism Bra Tube Top and was blown away by its support. “I was skeptical at first, but this tube top exceeded my expectations,” she says. “The built-in bra was able to support my bust without any discomfort. I also appreciated the longer length, which provided coverage and prevented any riding up.”
Our fourth editor, Lily, also has a larger bust size and tried out the Uniqlo Airism Bra Camisole. She was impressed by the level of support and comfort it provided. “I have always struggled to find a bra top that fits my bust comfortably, but this one did the trick,” she says. “The built-in bra was supportive without feeling too tight, and the fabric was soft and breathable. I will definitely be adding more of these to my wardrobe.”
Last but not least, we have Olivia, who has a smaller bust size. She chose the Uniqlo Airism Bra Crop Top and was pleasantly surprised by its stylishness. “I love the cropped length of this top, and the built-in bra provided enough support for me to feel comfortable wearing it without a traditional bra,” she says. “The fabric is also so soft and comfortable, making it perfect for lounging around the house or running errands.”
In conclusion, Uniqlo’s bra top collection is a game-changer for those looking for a more comfortable and supportive alternative to traditional bras. With a variety of styles and sizes to choose from, there is something for everyone. Say goodbye to uncomfortable underwire and hello to the freedom and comfort of bra tops.
