What’s more satisfying than taking your bra off at the end of a long, hard day? Not wearing one at all. But as liberating as being braless may be, it’s not always the most comfortable option – especially for my fellow big-busters. Back pain? No thank you.
For a long time, the thought of stepping out the house without my boobs firmly strapped in seemed like a dream. But, thanks to this summer staple, you can bet I’ll be leaving my boulder holders in the drawer all summer long.
Behold, Uniqlo’s bra top. A vest top with built in support and cups, this revolutionary piece of clothing means you'll no longer have to sacrifice comfort and support to look good.

Your go-to summer staple, this offers 360-degree support for a secure and flattering fit.
When looking for a white vest top last summer, I found myself stumbling into my local Uniqlo on the hunt for a top that wouldn’t break the bank. I was initially sceptical about whether these padded cups could support my 34DD boobs, but after handing over my hard-earned £19.90, my life was changed forever. Finally, I was able to step out the house in a white vest top that didn’t leave me feeling self-conscious.
Uniqlo has long been my go-to for good quality basics, and from cross body bags to crisp white tee’s, I pretty much wear something from the functional fashion brand every other day. Their bra tops are no different. Fitted with a seamless, built-in bra, they mirror the look of your basic tank while offering the support I so desperately need. The top ticks all my boxes for a bra: full coverage cups that look smooth under clothes, zero painful underwire, and no bra straps peeking through and ruining my look. The thick sports-style bra band doesn’t rub or irritate my skin when I go about my day, and the ribbed fabric means there’s no risk of cup outlines showing through. Available in XXS to XXL, it also caters to different body (and bust) sizes.
They’re comfy, they wash well, and as a wardrobe staple, they go with everything I own. It’s the best money I’ve spent – and with their built-in bras featured in several Uniqlo products, from tube tops to camis, it’s a design I’ll be loving for years to come.
Grab it while you can though, because these clever tops are always snapped up quick. Traditional bras are sooo last summer.
