What's the difference between a t-shirt bra and a regular bra?

A t-shirt bra’s main purpose is to create a smooth look under clothing by featuring little to no visible seams. In comparison, a regular bra contains seams that help create the shape you’re looking for. Regular bras usually come with horizontal, vertical or diagonal seams - each playing an important part. Horizontal seams help with definition and projection, while vertical and diagonal seams help lift and support. Now, that doesn’t mean that t-shirt bras don’t provide support - it just means they do it in different ways.

What is the benefit of a t-shirt bra?

Not only is the t-shirt bra a great option under most clothing, but they are among the most comfortable bras, too. T-shirt bras are more likely to be made with softer fabrics - so they feel great on. The coveted t-shirt bra provides the support you need with the comfort you want – a win-win in our book.

What do you wear with a t-shirt bra?

Don’t let the name fool you. T-shirt bras are the perfect match for a ton of different clothing styles – thanks to their smooth, seamless design. From dresses to blouses and form-fitting tops, the t-shirt bra is a versatile option for everyday wear. It’s a great solution under thinner, more see-through fabrics as well.

How should a t-shirt bra fit?

A t-shirt bra should fit comfortably without being too snug. It’s also important to make sure that your breasts are supported correctly, so that there’s no spillage. Make sure you can fit at least two fingers between your skin and the band, and two fingers between your skin and the strap. If you have a fuller bust, then you may want a full cup style. We recommend using our Fit Finder when choosing the correct size.

Are t-shirt bras padded?

They can be. Typically, t-shirt bras feature enough padding with their molded cups to smooth and support your breasts without see-through. While they aren’t as padded as some other styles, they still deliver a flattering fit. Once you purchase your first t-shirt bra, you may never want to wear anything else again.
