I have tops with shelf bras from the first two which work well for my wide-set size Bs, and the Zella ones don’t have wires but have more separate cups. If I was looking now, I’d also check out Champion. You might want to take a look at elpgal’s recent post on gymwear in general. </p> <p>For the bralettes, if you want more suggestions, check out Sarah08’s recent thread. She says she’s wide-set as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2197627 Tue, 25 May 2021 10:04:31 +0000 Tilly 2197627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd recommend thirdlove for the bralette. I have always had success with their well made Bralette styles :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2183632 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 17:07:23 +0000 notsaf 2183632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Updating to add that I had very good luck with the bralettes that just arrived from Lively. I'm 32D/34C and the mediums fit well. Lovely, soft fabrics, nice design details like, and great fit. I'm very happy with these and hope they wear well.</p> <p>Meanwhile, still on the search for athletic tops with an integrated bra for low-impact activity: any more suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2183322 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 17:27:08 +0000 notsaf 2183322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the advice! I would never have thought to look at Aerie. I've put in an order at Lively, but if that fails will look into some of the other options you all mentioned.&nbsp;</p> <p>Funny that integrated athletic bra-top are just not so popular anymore! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2183281 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 13:56:19 +0000 Diana 2183281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m going to add my vote for Aerie bralettes as well! For certain styles they have d and dd cup versions which is super nice because it means I don’t have to size up and risk the band being too big. </p> <p>I also have a couple of these which are super comfy although not very supportive (I do wear them out and about a lot, but I realize I care about support/boosting power much less than many people).<br /> <a href="https://www.felina.com/products/super-soft-modal-bralette?variant=30071947690072&#038;gclid=Cj0KCQjw9YWDBhDyARIsADt6sGY0HUBpnl1Go2j7Xh4qfoMiOalvAQy3x5yZT_EVxx7Iw3pULfN7HpMaAvDiEALw_wcB" rel="nofollow">https://www.felina.com/product.....DiEALw_wcB</a></p> <p>Someone mentioned Knix above and I also have a couple of their bras which are pretty nice. I’d call them somewhere in between a bralette and a sports bra in terms of support, so it’s more than I’d like some days but useful nevertheless. </p> <p>(For the record I don’t think I’ve worn an underwire bra in a year!) </p> <p>Can’t help with the bra tops unfortunately. I never find that they fit all that well - to be honest I prefer to just wear a regular sports bra with or without a looser top over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2183274 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 13:25:44 +0000 LaPed 2183274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you looked at Negative Underwear for bralettes? They use gorgeous fabrics and have nicely designed wireless options. Lively might be worth a look too. </p> <p>It’s been a long time since I wore a bra-top, but I used to love the ones from Prana. I almost ordered the Everlane Perform Cami when they released it, but I decided I’m too devoted to my merino bralettes to go back to synthetic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2183273 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 13:23:50 +0000 Glory 2183273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ordered two bralette/soft bras from jockey to try. I will report back on what they are like. They should arrive this week.<br />I have also heard good things about knix and Tilley but no first hand experience.&nbsp;<div>The first pic is from Tilley and the second two are the jockey.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2183231 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 02:01:16 +0000 Maeve 2183231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding Aerie for bralettes. I’ve also had luck with Free People and Victoria’s Secret, though that was a few years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2183228 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 01:35:36 +0000 shiny 2183228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a 34C-D. All my bralettes are from Aerie. They really do know what they're doing in that regard! (Though I am not a fan of their undies).&nbsp;</p> <p>Can't help on the exercise bras, as I hate shopping for them. I do have one or two from Old Navy that fit well, but I had to size up and try them on in the store. But I rarely wear them these days. </p> <p>What I'm wearing instead, for hikes (not jogging or anything involving jumping up and down!), is the Allbirds merino bras. They are supportive "enough" for walking/hiking. And warm but cool, though I still sweat around the elastic bra band. I wouldn't wear them to jog or do high impact aerobics though. They are also great for just laying around the house or other pandemic home activities. Comfy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2183015 Sat, 27 Mar 2021 23:25:41 +0000 Gigi 2183015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Free People has a lot of wire-free barrettes that are lacy. They have tons of styles. I think Madewell may have some also, but I haven't tried them.</p> <p>You could maybe check out Zella (a Nordstrom house brand) for a tank with a built-in sports bra.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2182981 Sat, 27 Mar 2021 22:05:05 +0000 Angie 2182981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OHHH! Check out Uniqlo.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2182973 Sat, 27 Mar 2021 21:04:49 +0000 notsaf 2182973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I mean tank top that has a built-in bra -- should have been clearer! I used to see these all the time, and now they don't seem as popular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2182972 Sat, 27 Mar 2021 20:41:04 +0000 Angie 2182972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE my Wacoal sports bra. It can become crisscross at the back. Best on the planet, and I’ve tried sooo many.</p> <p><a href="https://youlookfab.com/2021/02/03/assorted-fab-finds-2/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/2021/02.....b-finds-2/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eveyday-bralette-and-activewear-bra-top-recommendations#post-2182900 Sat, 27 Mar 2021 15:07:23 +0000 notsaf 2182900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi again!</p> <p>I'm in need of some recommendations for two <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2019/01/17/edit-and-review-your-wardrobe-basics/">basics</a> in my wardrobe that need a refresh: everyday bralettes and active wear bra-tops. </p> <p>For the <b>bralette</b>, I prefer something soft, unlined, and unwired. Lace and mesh are appealing. This is an item I wear everyday.</p> <p>For the <b>bra-top</b>, I prefer criss-cross straps and a light lining or thicker material for modesty. This is something I will use primarily for Pilates and yoga.</p> <p>I have a slim ribcage, an average-width back, a C-D cup (depending on the time of the month), and wide-set breasts. If this sounds anything like you, and you have any recommendations, please let me know!</p>
