Nordstrom
Bras from Natori and DKNY

Lace, mesh, bralette, underwire: Bra shopping can feel like a never ending string of decision making. But when you (finally) find the perfect one, it makes a huge difference. The ideal bra enhances what you have naturally and is so comfy that you hardly even realize you’re wearing it. It’s not so tight that it digs into your flesh. The straps aren’t constantly falling down. It gives you that extra bit of confidence. But how in the world do you find it?

One way is to rely on the sisterhood of customer reviews — people who have tried on the bra you’re eying and can tell you if it’s worth a swipe of your credit card or not. It’s also a lot less weird than texting your friends and asking them what they have on underneath their sweater. 

One retailer that has a wide range of whatever bra style you’re on the hunt for is Nordstrom. Plus size bras, nursing bras, mastectomy bras, sports bras, strapless — they have ’em all. Which is great, but also overwhelming. Save yourself the time of scrolling through endless pages of bras online by bookmarking this list of the very highest-rated bras the retailer sells. It will cut your search way down and you can rest assured that they’re worth the money.

1
DKNY convertible strapless underwire bra
Finding the perfect strapless bra can be tricky; it needs to offer enough support without digging into your skin. This one from DKNY has a perfect five-star rating. “I have tried them all and was never impressed — until this one,” wrote chicseattlemama. It does come with straps, so if you want to wear it as a regular bra, you can do that too.
2
Natori underwire contour bra
More than 970 people have reviewed this underwire-style bra and the vast majority have given it a perfect five-star rating. It comes in 13 different colors with sizes ranging from B to G cups. The cups are made with foam-lined jersey, which is both light and comfy. Bonus: It’s currently more than 50 percent off.
3
Honeydew Intimates Bailey bralette
WVtoNCLady wrote that this bralette has become a staple in her WFH wardrobe. “I love the scoop, stretchy fabric,” the reviewer shared. Multiple customers who left reviews said the material is super soft. It comes in a wide range of colors too.
4
Goddess Kayla underwire bra
This bra offers lift, support and sexiness. The cups give a gentle lift and the sides are reinforced for added support. Having this underneath your clothes just might bring out some extra fierceness too.
5
Wacoal smoothing wireless T-shirt bra
If seeing a bra’s outline underneath your shirt drives you nuts, you’ll appreciate this one, which is completely wireless and smooth. “There are so many good things about this bra. I love the wider straps and sides, as well as the shape it gives with light padding,” wrote bridesmaid990. “[It] provides lift without pressure or intense structure like you get with an underwire (that can be uncomfortable for long wear) and feels like a hug.” Reviewer smilemore called it the “best bra ever.”
6
Modern Eternity seamless nursing bra
This is Nordstrom’s highest rated nursing bra — period. Customers who left reviews say it works well for breasts that are changing size post-pregnancy and is even comfortable enough to wear to bed. “Do yourself a favor and buy this. I’ve purchased every nursing bra and this is by far the best,” wrote campjen in a review.
7
DKNY wireless contour bra
Another wire-free bra with an exceptional customer rating is this one by DKNY — and it’s a lot less expensive than the Wacoal one. Customers like that it’s comfortable and gives just a smidge of a lift; not too much, but noticeable enough to make a difference.
8
BP lace halter bra
A lace halter bralette looks cute worn under a T-shirt that lets the top of it peek out, giving your outfit a feminine touch. This one by BP provides support and a subtle lift. And let’s be honest, it’s just really pretty.
9
Beyond Yoga racerback sports bra
A lot of sports bras are so snug that they aren’t comfortable enough to wear all day, but this one by Beyond Yoga is one you can wear even when you aren’t moving through your flow. “The fabric feels like butter and still has the support that I need in a bra,” wrote customer Natalie R. Others like that the v-neck is flattering and that it has just the right amount of padding.
10
Zella seamless strappy sports bra
This scoop-necked style from Nordstrom’s in-house activewear imprint is a true crowd-pleaser, with a 4.3-star rating across 130 reviews. It’s made from a stretchy nylon-spandex blend, and has removable padded cups for added support and comfort.
11
B.Tempt'd by Wacoal T-shirt bra
Many underwire bras can be uncomfortable, but not this one. Customers say that this bra is firm and supportive, yet also soft and comfortable. People who left reviews also like that it can be worn with low-cut tops.
12
Parfait unlined T-shirt bra
This bra has double-lined underwired cups, making it extra supportive. It’s made with spandex, which provides the perfect amount of stretch. Sizes go all the way up to 40GG.
13
Curvy Couture seamless wireless bra
Everyone who bought this bra has given it a perfect five-star rating. It offers enough support and coverage to pair with just leggings. “I’m over 300 lbs and my breasts are a N cup. …It fits perfectly and is comfortable!” wrote BerryKissed in their review. It comes in seven different colors too.
14
DKNY Sheers wireless bralette
It can be tricky to find a wireless bra that offers enough support, but this one comes through. Both people with a small cup size and with a larger cup size gave it love in the customer reviews. If you’re looking for a go-to everyday bra, this is it.
15
Natori custom coverage underwire bra
This extraordinarily popular Natori bra is equipped with molded foam cups and a two-ply band so that it’s undetectable under clothing. Reviewer ABrast wrote that the style is “comfy for larger chests.”
