Lively Bras Review: Breathe a Little Life Into Your Bra Drawer

Lively’s Spacer Bra is for anyone who’s ever hated wearing a bra. It’s completely wire-free with a long-lined elastic band that fits snugly around the torso and lightly padded cups that contour to your shape and make the bra invisible under tops and dresses. This bra features a racerback design, which we love for the added feeling of support it provides, making it the bra you’ll be wanting to wear everywhere, even when you’re lounging around at home.

The All-Day Plunge No-Wire Bra is perfect for those tops in your closet with a plunging neckline that you haven’t been able to wear because you haven’t found a supportive bra with the right silhouette. It’s dramatic without sacrificing any elegance, and the front-facing strap adjustments allow it to easily fit your body just right. And, this bra is made from Lively’s creamy modal fabric, which makes it feel as if you're not wearing a bra at all.

If you’re looking for a wireless bra with a little more sex appeal and a little more push-up action, you must try Lively’s Deep V No-Wire Push-Up. Think of it as getting the best of both worlds—the all-day comfort and support you deserve from a bra without having to compromise on style. As with other Lively bras, the cups on this Push-Up easily fit your shape, making this a great option when you want to wear a  T-shirt.

Buy Lively’s T-Shirt Bra and you’ll get two bras in one. The wiring on it is flexible, making it easy to mold the bra to your body, and the scalloped lace straps in the back add a delicately pretty touch. The back straps even feature a j-hook, making it possible to convert this into a racerback bra with lightly padded nylon cups.

The Minimizer Bra is for anyone in the C-to-G Cup Club needing a comfortable option that will contain and uplift. The Minimizer’s cups are made of unpadded, stretch fabric with a smoothing elasticity and the bra’s underwire is padded by a double-layer of fabric. This is another Lively option that you can wear as a racerback for even more comfort.

If you truly hate the idea of a traditional bra and can’t stand wearing anything wired or padded, there is no need to fret. Lively has a varied selection of lovely bralettes, including the Busty Bralette, which has adjustable straps, mesh lining, and, our favorite feature, a supportive inner sling for even more shaping support and coverage. We can’t wait to get it in all seven colors.

Is it that crazy that we’re tempted to wear Lively’s Crochet Lace Plunge Bralette under a blazer and call it a day? The crochet lace and scallop trim detail on this bra makes it almost criminal to only ever wear this under clothing – but this style isn’t just about the looks. The soft mesh lining and three-level hook-and-eye closure featured on almost all Lively bras make it just as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing.

Lively does strapless bras well—their styles will actually stay up and provide just as much support as a bra with straps. This first Lace Strapless option is perfect if you’re looking for a strapless bra without any padding or something that will fit well under a delicate top or dress. The band on this bra is inspired by Lively’s activewear designs, which means you’ll be getting the best support no matter how much you’re on-the-go or grooving on the dancefloor.

We love the No-Wire Strapless because it’s even more comfortable than it looks and has a no-slip silicone for added insurance against any kind of slippage. It has lightly padded foam cups and, as with all of Lively’s strapless options, you can turn this into a regular bra with removable straps.

Who doesn’t love a corset option? The Low Back Strapless has a dramatic bustier-like front and a low back, which makes it perfect for all those dresses with major back exposure. We’re thinking we might just wear this with some high-rise jeans and boots.
