The Most Comfortable Lingerie for Everyday Wear

There is nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable in what you are wearing. Hating your outfit, whether because of how it feels or looks, can be a total day ruiner, affecting your mood and your confidence. The foundations under your outfit have a similar effect, maybe even more so. If your lingerie is digging, pinching, or shifting, it's hard to think of anything else.

The most comfortable lingerie looks different for everyone, but has one thing in common - it's forgettable. Not because you don't love how it looks, feels, and supports. But because you put it on in the morning and don't have to give it a second thought until you get undressed at the end of your day. Your favorite bras and underwear should make your life easier, not more complicated. This everyday guide will walk you through how to find the most comfortable lingerie for everyday wear so you never have to think about your bras and underwear again.

What Makes Lingerie Comfortable?

Fit

• Getting the right fit and wearing the right size is key. Wearing what should be comfortable lingerie in the wrong size can immediately make it the opposite.

• An in-store fitting with a trained specialist is always the most reliable starting point to get the perfect fit for your body. Use our store locator to find a retail partner or specialty store near you that offers fitting services.

• If you can't make it into a store, our Band & Cup Measuring Guide walks you through the process with an interactive size calculator.

• Getting into the right size can turn an uncomfortable style into an all-day comfort bra.
  
  

Fabric

• Fabric should feel good on the skin. Period.

• Though some of the best materials for lingerie need to be firmer for support to do their job properly, that doesn't mean it's impossible to find non-irritating lace and soft lingerie fabrics. Even if a fabric is designed for optimal support, shaping, or smoothing, it shouldn't feel rough or scratchy on the body. In other words, you shouldn't want to rip it off at the end of the day.

• Look for fabrics with breathability and lightness, stretch finishes, and enclosed seams, for lingerie that works with your body, not against it.
  
  

Support

• Speaking of support, everyone's needs are different. Whether you need light or full support can depend on your bust type.

• Speaking directly to the fuller busted girls out there, it is very likely that MORE support means MORE comfort for you. Feeling lifted and secure IS feeling comfortable in your lingerie. With heavier tissue to contend with, taking weight off of your back and shoulders with a well-fitting bra can be a dream come true, so keep that in mind as you navigate fabric and style choices.
  
  

Style

• A common fitting room question out there is "What is the best bra?", and any good fitter will know the answer - it depends.

• Comfortable lingerie is different for everyone. Some people like less coverage, some more. Some prefer wireless, others need a wire. There is no wrong answer, though there may be silhouettes that more naturally fit and complement your shape. For example, a plunge bra can be attractive to you for its light look, but a more contained fit may feel more comfortable for its security. On the flip side, a full coverage style might seem like your best bet, but if you are more shallow, you may not fully fill the cup. Trust your instinct on what feels and looks right to you, but be open to new possibilities if you are looking to move the comfort needle, especially if you are able to get help from a fit expert.

The Comfortable Lingerie Starter Pack

While it's true that what feels comfortable can vary depending on your size and preferences, some styles make it into many women's bra drawers for a reason. Kick-start your comfortable lingerie wardrobe with a few of our favorites below.

Everyday Lingerie Go-Tos

Between work, errands, family, friends, school - we are all BUSY. With everything else so complicated, we need bras that make getting dressed effortless. The Norah Comfort Underwire Bra is a hybrid style that uses internal seams for lift and support, with a buttery soft band and stretch lace that hugs your body perfectly. T-shirt bras are also easy and comfortable bras for all-day wear. The C Jolie T-Shirt Bra features memory foam cups that seamlessly mold to you for an invisible bra under clothes, and J-hook functionality that makes any top in your closet an option every day.

Solutions Styles

Solutions bras take effortless dressing a step further by solving specific wardrobe issues you may have. The Magique Minimizer, for example, is a supportive everyday bra that is perfect for underneath a button-down top to prevent gapping at the bust line. It's lined with breathable spacer fabric from front to back for a comfortable cooling feel. The Norah Comfort Front Closure Bra has an easy on-and-off clasp system at the center front, meaning no band hardware through the back, making this a comfortable option for long flights and a travel favorite.

Sexy Comfort Bras

Just because it's date night doesn't mean you want to feel uncomfortable. Try the Norah Chic Plunge T-shirt, loved for its soft band, sexy plunge neckline, and J-hook convertibility, or the Fleurs Demi, with its sexy sheerness and light uplift effect. Both promise a seamless transition from day to night.

Your Lounge Sets

If you want lingerie for relaxing at home, the wireless SoftStretch Power is comfortable enough for a weekend binge of your current TV obsession, but supportive enough to take you outside when it's time to put down the remote. For a comfortable lingerie set, pair with your favorite silhouette in SoftStretch seamless panties, our award-winning no-show underwear, for easy invisibility and breathability under anything.
