Every woman deserves bras that not only offer style but also comfort, practicality and support. But there are occasions when your traditional bra style just won’t cut it, you want to slip on that sleeveless party dress, need a halterneck bra style for a stylish top or dress, or even just a casual off the shoulder number. With strapless bras for large busts up to a K cup Curvy Kate, as well as styles from Chantelle and LingaDore here at Mysmartypants.co.uk we have something to suite virtually any required bra size. These versatile bras are designed, even without the straps, to provide support, shape, comfort and confidence without compromising on style or your desired outfit choice.
A strapless bra offers versatility for virtually all occasions
Versatility is at the heart of the design. You can’t just cut the straps off a standard bra style and hope for the best. A strapless or multiway bra, as the name suggests, can be worn in several different ways, going strapless, as a halter neck and depending on your chosen bra style it can also be one-shoulder, crisscross and a few other variations.
How do they support without the straps
Modern styles feature innovative technology to provide the support you need. Many people forget that its actually your backband that does the hard work of support. With a strapless bra this is even more important and styles traditionally feature grippy silicone banding strategically placed along the under-band to not only aid support but reduce or prevent slipping on your skin. A good quality strapless bra are just as easy to wear everyday as many of your regular choices. Modern and quality, but importantly well fitted strapless bras needn’t be super expensive and definitely not something you endure for a special occasion and sacrifice comfort for style.
Smooth and seamless styles
Perfect for achieving a smooth, seamless look under clothing, strapless bras tend to follow the same principle as that of a lingerie drawer staple, the t-shirt bra. A supportive underwired cup style with smooth or minimally seamed cups, so you’re wearing a tightly fitted dress or a thin, clingy fabric they help to smooth the silhouette. A couple of superb examples including one of our best strapless bra styles and collections is Chantelle Norah with the super soft Easy Feel fabrics. Along with the Curvy Kate Luxe strapless bra with a soft foam lining and vertical seams for an uplift effect. There are exceptions to the rule of minimal detailing to the cups, with the Chantelle Norah non padded strapless bra featuring a floral design in the super soft fabric, and that of the LingaDore balconette strapless bra that features beautiful lace detailing to the soft, lightly padded and moulded cups.
What about something for that backless dress?
Finding a bra that still gives you support and allows for that backless dress can be tricky. If you still need some support there are some stick on bra solutions but it can depend on the cup size and support you need or desire, they’re traditionally not supportive for the larger cup sizes. One solution is a backless body, the Aubade sculpt multiway body with its plunging front, deep cut back and detachable straps that can be worn with a wide range of positions to suit a multitude of outfit choices.
The Right Bra Can Offer Confidence in Every Outfit

A good and well fitted strapless bra gives you the confidence and freedom to wear what you love without worrying about straps showing or your bra slipping.
