The 20 Best Bras for Small Breasts, Because Fit Matters At Every Size

Best T-Shirt Bra for AA Cups

Pepper’s best-selling style, the All You Bra looks just like a traditional brassiere, in that it has molded cups and an underwire. But rather than scale down from a C cup (as many brands tend to do), the designers started from scratch and revamped the idea of a bra cup to specifically fit the needs of AA, A and B sizes, with shallower cups and mesh siding that helps lift and shape without any bulky padding. In fact, there’s very little padding in this guy; it has just enough coverage to prevent a nippy situation.

Best Yoga Bra

For those who want a wireless option to go from work to working out, the Limitless bra is the way to go. The stretchy material means it fits a bit more like a sports bra or bralette, but won’t feel bulky under T-shirts or light blouses. In fact, some reviewers mention wearing the Limitless as a sports bra for light activity like yoga or Pilates, while others call this their “go-to quarantine bra” because it’s comfortable, supportive and flattering.

Best Everyday Lace Bra for AA Cups

This lacey number fits the same as Pepper’s All You bra, but it features a touch of sexy lace instead of mesh. The flirty fabric lays flat so it won’t be visible or look lumpy under tops, meaning you can rock this beauty every day if you like, rather than saving it for date night.

Best Wireless Push Up

Draped mesh, a slight push-up and a dainty bow make this one of the prettiest everyday bras we’ve ever seen. The molded cups gently bring your gals up and in, to create the illusion of natural cleavage without chunky pads. And while you can definitely sport this beauty under your regular tees and sweaters, more than one reviewer mentions how nice the grided mesh looks under sheer blouses or peeking out from low-cut tops.

Best Bra with a Front Closure

It doesn’t matter whether you’re an A cup or a DDD, sometimes the struggle to get those back clasps hooked is just too much. Or they just don’t feel comfortable against your skin. This easy T-shirt style hooks in front, making it much easier to put on and take off, but it also comes with convertible straps that can be crossed in the back for a racerback style, as well.

Best Strapless for AAA Through A Cups

Even those on the smallest end of the spectrum deserve a well-fitting strapless option for a little extra coverage and support. This convertible style does just that, with a no-slip band and slightly padded cups. As one reviewer notes, “Great fit, very comfortable. This is the first strapless bra I've ever found for my bra size (36AA) that is not stuffed with padding. Definitely worth the purchase!”

Best Minimalist Design

This simple wireless bra may not look like much, but it has a surprisingly high level of support and offers subtle shaping that helps bring natural-looking cleavage to those with smaller chests. It’s also Negative’s top-selling bra, with more than 1,600 glowing reviews. Per one size 32B shopper, “I am obsessed. It keeps the shape and holds everything up nicely but still feels like I'm not wearing anything. I hate wire bras and this gives all the benefits of one [with] none of the discomfort.”

Softest Material

The fabric of this low-cut wireless design is seriously as comfortable as your favorite lived-in T-shirt. And while some reviewers wished it offered a bit more shaping or that the fabric was double lined, the Whipped Triangle is an excellent choice for a barely-there bralette.

Most Splurge-Worthy Mesh Bra

This underwire style is made from the same soft, supportive mesh as the wireless style above, just with more structure. The benefit here for smaller busts is that the fabric cups stretch to fit your breasts, unlike traditional molded cups which all too often create gaps for A and B sizes.

Bra With the Greatest Range of “Nude” Hues

Speaking of those nude hues, this T-shirt bra comes in six skin tone-inspired shades, as well as six other color options. It’s accrued almost 400 reviews on the brand’s website and has a 4 .7-star rating with almost all mentioning just how comfortable this bra feels, despite the underwire construction. And while it does come in a wide size range, the smaller cups and band sizes aren't simply scaled down. Per one reviewer, “This truly lives up to its name. I wear a 32B and have a small frame. There is no gaping in the cups, the straps stay in place, and the band is soft and comfortable. I’ve struggled with Victoria Secret bras and department store bras, but after trying several styles, nothing fit as well as the Natori Bliss Perfection Contour Underwire.”

Best Plunge Style

The Feathers bra has been one of Natori’s best-selling styles for over 10 years. The plunge cut brings your breasts in from the sides to create natural looking cleavage, even for the smallest busts. The site does suggest this style runs small, so be sure to follow the size chart before you order, and despite the fact that the band size starts at a 30, those who wear a 28 might find it fits just fine.

Best Bralette with Contoured Cups

Halfway between a comfy bralette and a more structured style, this wireless style is super comfortable but will still give you some lift and shape. It also has a hook-and-eye closure at the back which gives a better custom fit, especially over time as the band naturally stretches out. “I was worried that my small chest would be flattened with a design like this, but instead this bra provided definition,” reads one recent review, while others comment on how surprised they were to find how good this bra looks under tee and tight tops.

Best Sports Bra That Can Double as an Everyday Bra

It’s a common misconception that small breasts don’t need support in the way that larger sizes do, but gravity works its charms on everyone…especially if you add in rigorous exercise. The Elizabeth cushions your breasts while offering light compression, for support that doesn’t feel constricting. In fact, multiple reviewers mention treating this bra like a bralette and wearing it on days when they want something comfier than underwire, but not as loose as a traditional bralette.

Prettiest Everyday Lace Bra

On the opposite end of the spectrum is this gorgeous eyelash lace-covered underwire. The lace lays flat enough that you can absolutely sport this beauty under a regular top or pick up a pair of matching panties for a special occasion. (Valentine’s Day is just around the corner…)

Best Convertible Strapless Bra

Per one review, “This bra is flattering and stays up all day. I'm a 32A in regular sizing, and it's so hard to find strapless bras that don't show through clothes and don't flatten me out. I'm typically a 30C in TLBC sizing, and I did have to size up to my sister size 32B, so keep that in mind. Other than that, it's a very (rare) flattering strapless bra.” One thing to note: This convertible works just as well when worn with the straps.

Best Everyday T-Shirt Bra

This light-padded Calvin Klein classic has something of a cult following, including almost 3,000 people who left five-star reviews at Amazon. It comes in a huge range of colors, is made from supremely comfortable memory foam and can often be found on sale. It has just enough padding to prevent a headlights situation, and there is some nice shaping, thanks to the underwire. As one size 34A reviewer says, “One of the major issues I run into is a lot of bras try to accommodate for small sizes by giving us obnoxious pillowcase padding, but that isn’t the case here. There’s light padding with a complimentary lift that makes me look like a small B. The texture is very smooth, and it runs true to size. It adds very subtle cleavage.”

Best For In-Between Sizes

The reason some women can’t find cups that fit quite right has less to do with the quality of the bra and more to do with buying the right size. ThirdLove puts a big emphasis on measuring (there’s a short quiz online to help you get started) and has an extensive blog chock-full of information about body types, proper washing techniques and more. They also offer the option to buy in-between sizes like A ½ or B ½. The 24/7 Classic T-Shirt Bra is one of the brand’s absolute top sellers and comes in a wide range of “nude” hues, as well as a few fun color options.

Prettiest Bralette

Sometimes you really just want a bra you can show off, and this delicate option from Aerie certainly fits the bill. The straps are adjustable (unlike so many bralette styles) and the light padding is removeable, for those who’d rather not deal with it. The size XXS is roughly equivalent to a 28B or 28C bra and an XS should fit a 30B, 30C or 32A. Oh, and did we mention it’s made from recycled materials? That’s a nice bonus for those looking to make their top drawer a little more eco-friendly.

Most Comfortable Bralette

We’re not going to lie, the super simple scoop-neck design of this pullover bralette may have given us some training bra flashbacks at first, but once you slip into the stretchy organic cotton material, you’ll forget all about the itchy white styles of your youth. The fabric offers a surprising amount of support and is thick enough to not appear see-through but not so thick that it will look bulky under your clothes. The XS should fit band sizes 28 and 30, a S sizes 30 and 32 and a M 32 and 34, and all sizes are made with enough stretch to comfortable fit cup sizes A through D.

Best Gap-Free Balconette

Similar to Negative, CUUP is a no-frills lingerie brand that decided it was better to toss the old measuring system out the window entirely and start anew with input from a wide range of testers. (There are now 40 size options to choose from.) The balconette cut, plus the semi-sheer mesh, makes this everyday bra a surprisingly sexy option. And because the material is so flexible, the cups can mold to your breasts exactly, essentially eliminating any risk of gapping.
