13 Best Strapless Bras That Actually Stay Put, According To Reviews

If there's one thing we can all agree on its that no top drawer is complete unless it features one of the best strapless bras. They are a stalwart lingerie staple that none of us could do without throughout the year (yes, even those with smaller boobs).

Sleeves and straps can provide a whole manner of conundrums in the underwear department, and if you're wanting to show some skin with an off-the-shoulder, strappy or bandeau dress or top, then you'll be wanting a multiway bra to go underneath it. Something supportive but practically undetectable.

Despite how daunting finding said style may be, the market is well populated with options in various skin tones, linings, fabrics and shapes that will cater to your every need and preference. And we've selected and tested 17 of them.

    How do you keep a strapless bra from falling down?

    If you find that your current strapless bra rolls down or slides around a lot, make sure you have the right size but also look for styles that feature silicone strips along the band and cups – these will stick to your skin a bit more and prevent any movement. We recommend Boux Avenue's Strapless Padded Plunge Bra for this exact reason, plus it'll also give your assets a bit of a lift.

    And for those trickier-to-navigate silhouettes, like a backless dress or one-shoulder top? It's all about the most discreet of strapless underpinnings – the invisible bra, backless bra or stick on bra. Are they anywhere near as supportive as normal bras? Probably not, but they will do the trick if you're not keen on going completely bare.
