6 Brands to Shop for the Best Plus Size Bralettes

This post may contain affiliate links, which means I'll receive a commission if you purchase through my link, at no extra cost to you.

I absolutely ADORE bralettes. As a queer tomboy femme,  don’t wear underwire. Like ever. It’s far too uncomfortable and restricting, but I also don’t want to wear sports bras 24/7. Bralettes are the best of both worlds, offering slight support while also being cute enough to make me feel sexy and confident. They are by far the bra that I grab most often! So here are 6 brands to shop for your perfect plus size bralette.

Torrid

I don’t love Torrid’s wire bras but their bralettes! They are so comfortable and cute and I’m due for another black lace bralette because mine is looking  a little ragged, tbh. My top choice for a plus size bralette with support because they also go up to a 6X! Shop for a Torrid bralette HERE! Shop for a Torrid bralette HERE!

Cacique

Cacique, Lane Bryant’s lingerie offshoot, takes up the most room in my bra and undie drawer for sure! They have incredibly comfortable everyday underthings, but their bralettes are very cute and they have sales often. You can also stock up on some bralettes basics here! Shop patterned plus size bralettes at Cacique HERE! Shop patterned plus size bralettes at Cacique HERE!

Target

Target has surprisingly upped their plus size lingerie game! They offer bralettes up to size 4X and in a variety of styles and in an affordable price range, about $20 full price! Target is also a great place to snag low-impact sports bras in plus size too. Shop affordable plus size bralettes at Target HERE! Shop affordable plus size bralettes at Target

Rue 21

If you’re looking for trendy and budget-friendly, Rue 21 is a great place to shop up to a size 3X. They also have sales constantly! Rue 21 won’t give you the highest quality bralettes BUT if you, like me, enjoy showing off your bralette as part of your fit, then this is the place. Plus size crochet bralette? Check! Super cute and can pass as a crop top in a pinch! Shop trendy full figure bralettes at Rue 21 HERE! Shop trendy full figure bralettes at Rue 21

Maurices

Maurices marries function with style with their bralette collection! Available up to a size 4X and in lots of basic colors and textures, Maurices is a great brand to shop if you’re just starting up your bralette collection. The best part? None are above $20! Shop affordable plus size lace bralettes at Maurices HERE! Shop affordable plus size lace bralettes at Maurices

Walmart

Anyone who isn’t perusing Walmart for plus size offerings is sleeping on a gold mine! Their lingerie brand is called Secret Treasures for a reason, I guess! They offer bralettes up to size 4X and at a wallet-friendly price, around $15. You can usually find plus size options in-store as well, which is rare in stores that aren’t specifically plus size. Shop comfortable plus size bralettes at Walmart HERE! Shop comfortable plus size bralettes at Walmart I hope this guide helps you find a bralette that makes you feel comfortable, supported enough, and gender euphoric! If you know a brand that’s missing from this list, leave a comment below or shoot me a DM on my Instagram of Twitter, where you can find daily links to goth plus size fashion!

Lorddd I hope I have enough Broad City lovers to get that reference 🙏🏼 June is going by so fast and I’m trying to collect all these memories in hopes of slowing it down. The world feels heavy but there are pockets of light if you know where to look ✨ Better yet, be a light in someone’s day if you can. Amid the horrors there are so many opportunities for humanity, kindness and love.

I believe pleasure is a form of resistance and supporting (and enjoying 😉) platforms that celebrate lgbtqia+ pleasure is a fabulous way to honor yourself and the hot queer elders that paved the way!

June is lipedema awareness month, so here I am spreading awareness! I was diagnosed with lipedema a few years ago and coming to terms with a life-long progressive condition was a full grieving process. 

Things have gotten better since I had my first lipedema surgery last year, both mentally and physically! But it’s just a fact of life that 1-2 hours of my day are dedicated to ongoing maintence to keep my surgery results for as long as possible. 

Sometimes it feels like lipedema steals time and energy away from things that matter. But I have to remind myself that my wellbeing is what matters most of all! 

How are you prioritizing your wellbeing today? 💞

Over the years I’ve gotten so many messages of h Over the years I’ve gotten so many messages of how I’ve helped you on your body celebration journey. Helping others comes naturally to me. Helping myself? That’s a little harder. But here I am, showing up for myself 💕

I hope someday soon my mental image of myself matches the reality. Practices like this are really helpful. Self portraits are a fabulous way to get to know your physical self and back when ig was more photo-focused, I did A LOT of them. Time to bring them back, I’d say 📸

Love you all and hope you can find even a sliver of body peace today 🫶🏻

Happy birthday to my favorite person @movewithprid Happy birthday to my favorite person @movewithpride 😍🐢✈️🍜 Mon is one of most compassionate and genuine people you’ll ever meet and sees the best in everyone. They love a sports underdog story and will cry every time. They keep going even through the toughest circumstances, and never lets that harden them. They put themselves out there to be the visibility they never had, both in work and in their personal life. Mon is amazing and deserves all the best wishes today as they turn 37!! 🥳🎂🎁

There’s a lot to love about Mon but what I’ve appreciated the most this past year is the growth they’ve done in solidifying their sense of self, knowing what they deserve, and acting in ways that protect their peace and honor their heart 🫶🏻 It’s a gift to witness and I’m endlessly proud of them!

Mon gives SO much to others so let’s give back to them today 💕 Comment with a fave memory of Mon or something you admire about them ✨
“How was your trip?!” We’ve gotten that qu “How was your trip?!” 

We’ve gotten that question a lot since we returned from Hawai’i and it is impossible to answer in only a few words!

This trip engaged us spiritually, physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We learned more than we ever dreamed from native Hawaiians, most who usually would never engage with a group of tourists. It was an act of trust for them to share their knowledge and experience with us and we held that space with respect and divinity. 

We also immersed ourselves in the 'āina, the land, through weeding taro fields in the pouring rain and doing reef conservation work. This was healing in its own special way and has inspired us to be in nature more often. 

Our biggest takeaway (and the cute magnet we brought home, as our tradition) is to live aloha. Aloha is known by most as a hello/goodbye but it is so much more than that. To live aloha is to embody love, peace, compassion and respect. It means living in harmony with the people and land around you with mercy, sympathy, grace and kindness. If everyone lived aloha, our world would be a much better place. 

I’m sure we’ll have more thoughts to share as we process this tremendous trip! But huge thanks to @doctorkiona @reroottravel and all of the guides and kumus who trusted us to share what we learned 🤙🏻 Our lives are forever changed.
