The 13 Best Bandeau Bras, According to Editors, Experts, and Reviewers

Our editors have a deep affinity for SKIMS and its Fits Everybody collection. Its bandeau bra, in sizes XXS to 4XL, comes in the same soft and body-contouring fabric we love with a slip-free fit. Choose from eight seasonal shades—including hot pink and tangerine orange—and nine year-round neutrals. With a fit this versatile, you'll order at least two.

Here's a bandeau bra with breathable, moisture-wicking fabric in seven neutral shades. "This bandeau is unlined, so it's perfect for hot summer days and light layering," Reilly of Adore Me says. Try it in sizes 1X to 4X.

Lively's bra sets have the best value for the best fit, bandeaus included. Light padding, a no-slip silicone lining, and an underwire-free design make these neutral bandeau bras a favorite among reviewers. Here's just a sample of the rave reviews: "This is the first strapless bra I’ve worn and actually felt supported and comfortable in. The band has extra hooks to get just the right fit. The cups have substantial coverage but allow some cleavage as you wish. It was super comfy and stayed on well through a night out!"

The reviews have it: Cosabella's lightweight bandeau bra holds you in place but feels like wearing nothing at all. "I don’t have to adjust it at all throughout the day—it’s like magic how it stays put. Very comfortable and doesn’t show under clothing either," one reviewer gushes. "This might be the best strapless bra I've ever bought, no wires or padding, good shape, and it's TRULY non-slip," another reviewer writes. "No adjustments needed throughout the day." There's one con to keep in mind: Reviewers say it runs small, so consider ordering a size up.

Commando's Double Take bra, featuring a lace back and microfiber front, is best suited to shoppers wearing A, B, and C cups. It has light coverage without an underwire for all-day wear. "Comfort-wise, this is as close to perfect as I’ve found. And believe me, I’ve been looking!" one reviewer writes.

Another reviewer is so smitten, they're swearing off other strapless bras. "I ordered [this] to wear when I do not feel like wearing my 'normal' wire strapless bras. I may never go back. This is so comfortable and gives me a good shape."

In sizes 1X to 4X, this bandeau bra is catered to bigger chests. The four-way stretch microfiber works with the unlined cups and underwire for a supportive fit that also stays in place. One of many satisfied reviewers says this bra changed her outlook on bandeau styles. "I have bought so many strapless bras and they were never comfortable or held up my girls. This bra was perfect—now I am able to wear cute strapless clothes. I will be definitely purchasing more." A few reviewers mention slight slippage, but the overall comfort overshadows that con.

This second Adore Me style, recommended by Reilly, has a bit more compression than others on the market. It's "perfect for big-bust coverage and great to wear on its own with a pair of jeans," Reilly says. Reviewers agree that the fit and coverage are unparalleled. "It gives me enough coverage without the strap look! So nice and comfortable to wear," one says.

Reviewers have called this set of three lace bandeau bras a "needle in the haystack." They each have an opaque front and semi-sheer back, with silicone lining to hold it in place. For even more support, you can opt for removable pads. Reviewers say these bandeau bras are comfortable enough to become an everyday wear. "I don't even feel the boning, but the bra stays up," one reviewer writes in their recommendation. "I also feel like there is ample stretch to not smash, but enough to provide support."

The bandeau version of the Love Cloud bra, one of model Adut Akech's favorite styles, is one of the most comfortable on our list. It includes molded, underwire-free cups and a pull-on fit for wearing under any strapless dress or top. Plus, the smoothing fabric is partially recycled. Some reviewers say it runs large, while others say it's a true-to-size fit—order accordingly.

Your top drawer may have unlined and stretchy bandeaus already—why not add an elevated piece to the mix? Fleur du Mal makes BAZAAR editors' favorite lingerie, including its satin-like bandeau bra. It includes a sharpened sweetheart neckline, lace backing, and boning for support (and an upscale look). Sizing is somewhat limited, with the Charlotte available in sizes XS to L.

Want just a hint of lace and a lot of support? This less-than-$30 bandeau bra is for you. It's unlined but includes an underwire that gently lifts and supports your chest even without straps. It also comes in a wide size range, from 32A to 40DD. "I struggle to find strapless bras with good support," a reviewer who wears a size 34DD writes. "This bra gives you all and it does not fall down."

Across dozens of five-star reviews, shoppers mention the same feature: the softer-than-soft fabric. Intimately makes its bandeaus with a scuba-neoprene material that reviewers say feels like butter. The slip-on, slip-off style comes in five neutral shades, from sizes XS to XL. Consider ordering a size down, as some reviewers say this bandeau runs large.

Reviewers can't get enough of this unassuming set. The construction is simple—unlined and wireless, with extra coverage and a bit of stretch—but the feeling is rave worthy across chest sizes. "I’m large busted, and they fit great! And don’t slip down," one reviewer says. "Great with tank tops or racer back tops. Stays in place, very comfortable," another adds.
