Welcome to The Golden Girl–a real girl approach to living your best life! (Because the internet needed a happy medium between real life and the highlight reel.)
I am admittedly still recovering from my bestie Melissa’s bachelorette party ? BUT we were up bright and early yesterday to fly to Cincinnati for the week! I’m tagging along on Neal’s work trip (we have the Southwest companion pass, so I can hop on any flight of his for free) because my best friend lives here–we’ll be road tripping to Lexington to visit our friend Nancy (she’s basically our second mom) and stay there for the night.
I basically spent the entirety of yesterday working on this post–I get so many questions about my favorite bras and underwear but it is truly not a one-size-fits-all answer! Every woman’s body is SO different–so, instead of doing a post on just MY favorites, I thought it would be WAY better to ask all of
The Lingerie Addict Awards: The 12 Best Lingerie Brands Of 2017
I took to Instagram to ask your recommendations and got absolutely flooded with responses! I spent hours pouring over them, tallying up the most popular answers, and hand selecting the best quotes about them that I thought best described why they were so great, what body types and lifestyles they’re good for!
I know I personally got a lot of recommendations I can’t wait to try! Read below for our fellow GG community members favorite bras, undies, and why they love them so much!

The 20 Best Places To Buy Bras Of 2023
I have to say, I was so excited to come across reader Bri’s incredibly thorough response–she was a certified bra specialist through Nordstrom–so she’s basically our #1 expert here. I thought it was best to start with her advice first and foremost! Bri says…
“First of all, 80% of women are in the wrong bra size. and it’s so hard to name one brand that is perfect for every woman because everyone is so different. Some of my favorite brands are Natori, Chantelle, and Wacoal because they have a large range of sizes for every woman!”
Bri also recommends getting fitted at Nordstrom because I think they have the most accurate sizes. “Even if you don’t want to buy anything, you can still get fitted for free! It will change your life to wear a correctly sized bra!” she gushes.

That being said, a lot of you RAVED (and I mean RAVED) about those exact brands she mentioned–plus, a few more as well! Let’s jump into details!
This was easily the #1 most recommended brand by woman of all cup sizes–I’d say if you’re looking for a non wireless bra, this is probably where I’d recommend you start, based on all of your feedback! Plus, a lot of their bras are part of the
Bri says, “Natori feathers bra is great and it’s always part of Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale! It’s deep v plunge/ life bra with lace for those who are wearing a deep v dress or top that wants a little lift. I’s always such a beautiful bra and it comes in a variety of colors.”

“A” emphatically agrees– “Natori bras are the best thing EVER. I’m a 34C and adore the Everyday T-shirt bra, and so do both my sister and mom! It’s the perfect comfy bra for basically everything (except tops with a super deep v or low armholes) with no show through and just the right amount of support.”
Aerie also gave Natori a run for its money–I’ve heard really great things about them before, but I was very excited to hear that even larger chested ladies found their bralettes to be supportive enough–which isn’t something you hear too often! If you’ve been wanting a “barely there” bra–I’d start here!
“I love bralettes from Aerie–I usually wear a medium top but have a larger chest and the large size works great for me. They are comfortable and super cute. Not as supportive as a regular bra but I still wear them all the time. The brand also stands for body positivity which is great and they’re on sale all the time”–Sheila

“I’m very small chested (barely a B and only reached it after age 25!) and love Aerie for bralettes. I don’t need support, so anything that feels as little like a bra as possible is what I am for. I particularly like their unlined and unpadded bras (also confirming your recent discovery that American Eagle actually has some really cute stuff!!” -Liz
Bri says, “Chantelle is one of my favorite brands because of the wide range of sizes. They go from A-H and have push-ups and full coverage.”
Reader Yvonne also agrees– “Chantelle bras are great for bustier girls bc the underwear support is awesome. No extra padding, and they’re still pretty which is rare for larger sizes! I love the Rive Gauche bra, which I got during last year’s NSale–it’s on sale again right now!”
The 15 Best Affordable Lingerie Brands On The Internet
One of Bri’s all-time favorite brands, “Typically for us bustier women, there’s not a lot of cute options. It’s either old lady minimizers or zero coverage support/cute bras. Freya is a European company that offers super cute options for those of us with big boobs. This happened so often where a young woman would come in and say, “I know there’s nothing cute in my size…” (many of which had been told this at Victoria’s Secret) and I would always pull Freya and they would be amazed!”
What seems to me to be a big Third Love rival–I had always wondered about this brand so I’m so glad a few of you weighed in on it and had great things to say. Granted, ThirdLove was a more popular recommendation, but people specifically called out Lively for their wireless bra and strapless bra!
Another that get’s the bra specialist stamp of approval! It sounds like these are an absolute must for anyone who struggles to find a good supportive bra for larger chests.

Shelby says, “I received the Wacoal “Embrace Lace” bralette as a gift from one of my bridesmaids at my bachelorrete and I LOVE IT. I’m normally a 34DD so bralettes don’t usually come to mind for me but the bio wire is so comfortable and I still feel supported (and it’s cute!) The downside is that the lace is hard to wear under some t-shirts but I still wear it all the time. I have the black and I’m hoping to purchase the beige soon. Can also be made into a racer back!”
Preeti sings Wacoal’s praises–“I’m a 36DD and always used to get VS but they’d push me up so much my cleavage would be at my chin! These are affordable, supportive but still comfy. Plus, you can’t see it under t-shirts! I always used to have to wear camis but I can skip that step w/ these bras. This is the first bra that I felt supported in.”
This was a dark horse I did not expect–I had no idea CK was known for their bras, but scanning the hundreds of 5 star reviews at Nordstrom will tell you this is clearly a crowd favorite for all bra sizes!
Best Lingerie Brands For Every Body Type
“I exclusively wear Calvin Klein convertible strap lightly lined demi bras with no padding. (Nordstrom Rack always has them at a good price!) They are so comfortable and you cannot see the under your shirts, the stars stay up and still give a good lift . I wear an A cup and have a slender athletic body type. I don’t like their underwear though–I prefer DKNY because they fit perfectly and look good. Calvin Klein ones always fit in a weird way or give you an awkward muffin top. TMI but hopefully this helps!” –Cait
I have a small frame and a fairly large chest (32DD) and the Calvin Klein Perfectly Fit Modern T-Shirt Bra fits PERFECTLY! It’s so smooth and has an amazing range of skin tone colors! It’s also part of the Nordstrom sale but it’s affordable either way. Perfect t-shirt bra, I never have to wear camp’s under sheer tops when I wear it!–Alex
I also wasn’t surprised to see Hanky Panky included among favorite brands for bralettes! They sell quite a few of them at Nordstrom but there are more available on their website as well! I’ve had one for years and love it but my only knock was that it wasn’t lined–I didn’t know they came out with a version with removable padding, so I’m excited to give these another try!
Best Lingerie Brands Of 2023 & How To Shop Them
Hanky Panky makes a plus size bralette! So instead of covering like half a nip like that popular free people one, I can cover both tatas. ?–Becca
I heard a LOT of praise for Third Love due to the fact that they have a huge range of sizes–including 1/2 cup sizes and no slip straps! I can echo the fact that I love this about them, although, I do prefer a bra without underwire–so while it’s very comfortable for an underwire bra, it’s not always my go-to!
