Can you recall the last time you shopped at a lingerie store and were disheartened? So many aspects of bra shopping can be downright annoying—e.g., the awkward struggle to figure out your proper bra size or the lack of "real" reviews outside of a pushy sales associate. Perhaps the most frustrating part is the lack of versatile options to shop. Don't get me wrong; there are some great push-up bras and lingerie stores out there. However, not every shopper is interested in purchasing an overly padded bra or shopping in person. The desire to change how we shop for undergarments has led to a boom in digital-first brands that offer far more non-padded styles in a more inclusive range of sizes.
Of course, shopping for unlined bralettes and bras comes with its own challenges. Buying a bra online can feel like a gamble, especially when you're bustier or trying to find an unlined bra that's actually supportive and functional. But it's not nearly as frustrating as you might think. To prove that point, I've scoured the internet for the best unlined bras and bralettes. Considering reviews, size-inclusivity, quality, support, and price ranges, it's safe to say these 30 unlined bras will squash any previous bra-related frustrations you have once and for all.
Unlined Bras Under $50
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "I bought this to wear under sheer tops, and it's perfect! I'm a 32A to 34AA and got a small. It's extremely flattering and perfect for the purpose." — Urban Outfitters Reviewer
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "This is super nice because since it doesn't have a lining, it doesn't make me look bulky, but it is thick enough to avoid my nipple from showing through the lining. The wire lays where it should, and overall the bra is super comfortable." — Aerie Reviewer
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "These bralettes are my favorite; they're lacy, sexy, and comfortable. They also pair extremely well under tees and shirts. Some of the colors can be a little see-through, but I think it adds a little extra sass!" — Free People Reviewer

Review Highlight: "I love the wicked bras. The lift it gives you without padding is a plus." — Victoria's Secret Reviewer
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "I have been trying this bra out for a month now, and I gotta say it's more supportive than any other bra I have tried. It also washes up really well compared to other bras of mine that will pull. This bra is a must-have; it forms to your body, making it comfortable to wear all day." — Parade Reviewer
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "I'm not a big bralette fan mostly because they never seem to fit how I want them to. This one, however, was super comfortable. The band isn't too tight or loose, so you still feel like you have some sense of support. Once I adjusted the straps, I was really feeling myself let me tell you. I like the material, and it felt like I could forget I was even wearing it." — Savage x Fenty Reviewer
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "I love that it is unlined and has no padding. The lace is very soft, and even after wearing it all day, it's still comfortable." — Lively Reviewer
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "Very happy with this bra—the fabric is smooth and feels luxurious, and the fit is good and comfortable. I would say it fits pretty true to size." — Harper Wilde Reviewer
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "I don't like to wear padded bras or full coverage bras in warm weather, especially when I have to wear a dress or top that would show lace or seams. o, this bra is perfect for casual days, warmer weather, and when I don't want the girls to bounce. I'm 5'2, about 135 pounds, and wear 38C; I ordered a large, and it fits perfectly." — Amazon Reviewer
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "Honestly, I love the idea of bralettes, but I have been blessed with very large breasts. I love the 'barely there' feeling this bra provides. It not only comes in my size (34H), but it actually fits well, and best of all, it's sexy! I find the larger your bra size, the less cute the bra styles are. This bra is a great balance between comfort, function, and style." — Amazon Reviewer
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "It's literally the best bra for smaller busts; it feels like you're not wearing anything, but somehow you got great support even with the sheer material. The band on the bottom is perfect and very comfortable. I want to get all the colors and have 1 million of these and get rid of anything else I have." — Pepper Reviewer.
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "Love, love, love! It's my new everyday bralette. It's so comfortable, I forget it on. I normally wear 36G in Wacoal, but the 38DD fits better than the 36G in this style, as the 36 sizes appear to run smaller. I ordered in all colors, and the lace design detail works great with an open shirt over it." — Bare Necessities Reviewer.
Unlined Bras Under $100

Review Highlight: "I love sleeping in a bralette, and this one feels luxurious thanks to the pretty silk." — Intimissimi Reviewer
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "Soma Essentials unlined scoop balconette bra is the bra I've been looking for. This super soft unlined bra fits so comfortably and supports me all day long. It's great not having wires digging into me." — Soma Intimates Reviewer
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "I've worn many of them and hated them all. This is the first bra that fits, supports, is easy to fasten, and is comfortable beyond compare. I bought another after trying my first one. I'll buy more when they get them in my size again (38DDD)." — Negative Underwear Reviewer
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "Been wearing Wacoal bras for years, specifically this style. Without exception, they are beautiful, well made, and durable." — Wacoal Reviewer
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "Love the fit of this bra. Chantelle is one of my go-to bras, as it fits well for a 34H size. Narrow through the ribs, I could wear a 32 but prefer 34. This bra gives good support
minimizes, especially in comparison to other bras." — Amazon Reviewer
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "The color is gorgeous, and it's a nice fit. Adore Me has the best styles, even for those of us who are more well-endowed. It's very delicate, so hand wash!" — Adore Me Reviewer
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "I went through Stage 3 breast cancer and went through so much with treatments which included a double mastectomy. I will never look the way I did, but after being in remission for a couple of years, I decided to get measured and ordered this bra and panty set as my first "non-cancer" lingerie. Everything fits perfectly, is flattering, and most of all gave me some confidence back." — Free People Reviewer
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "I was a little hesitant about the mesh because I have very sensitive skin and have had bad reactions with other brands in the past, but that wasn't an issue with this bra at all! It's so soft and feels great against my skin. It has a great fit also." — Cuup Reviewer
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "A really great bra! Because of sports injuries, both my shoulders are frozen, so I can't hook a regular bra in the back or in the front. But this bralette goes on easily and gives me some shaping and support at the same time."— Commando Reviewer
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "Who doesn't love a sexy lace bra? The fit really is perfect for me." — Gooseberry Intimates Reviewer
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "It's a strange but good sensation to have a bra fit properly. I've apparently never worn a properly fitted bra; it doesn't move, everything is in place, and there are no gaps!" — Bare Necessities Reviewer
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "I love this bra; it's cozy, fits well, and looks amazing. My only wish the straps were placed differently—it tends to bulge around the arms, but this problem is not noticeable under a top." — Shopbop Reviewer
Unlined Bras to Invest In
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "The delicate embroidery found on this Agent Provocateur unlined bra is jaw-dropping. It's so flattering and is sure to leave you feeling yourself. In terms of sizing, you'll want to consider going up one band size as the fit is slightly snug, but otherwise, it's a great investment." — Editor Review
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "This bralette is so gorgeous! I love the fact that it sits a little lower than a normal bralette; it's perfect to wear with a little open button-down top." — Revolve Reviewer
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "Maison Essentiele's lingerie is divine, especially its silk bralettes. They make you feel like a goddess." — Editor Review
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "It's such a beautiful bra! And it fits my larger bust nicely." — Revolve Reviewer
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "Araks's silk charmeuse bralettes feel like you're wearing a cloud. They're not only well-made and comfortable but are the ideal option for those who hate bulky bra padding." — Editor Review
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Review Highlight: "While Coco De Mer's pieces are a bit pricey, they're worth every penny in my mind because of how well-made they are. The subtle details found on pieces (e.g., the metallic tulle used to make the lace on this unlined bra) make them the prettiest bras on the market." — Editor Review
