The Only Bra You Need For Summer.

Thank you to Wacoal for sponsoring today’s blog post – all opinions are my own!

I fancy myself a bit of a human guinea pig and pride myself on my recommendations. Even before I had a blog, I was always the go-to girl with my friends for recommendations. Need the perfect travel steamer? The best face cream? Eyeliner that won’t budge? I’m your girl. And when it comes to strapless bras (a question I get asked a lot), there is nothing better than the Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra.

Yes, this post is sponsored. However, sponsored or not I have been evangelizing this bra for years. When I first tried this bra I became so obsessed that I actually threw out all of my other strapless bras. It’s the greatest. I have it in black and nude and have now bought each twice. I’m trying to be better about replacing my favorite bras at least every year. It stays up all day, it’s actually comfortable (yes seriously), and it’s very supportive.

Summer is the season of interesting necklines – halters, one shoulders, strapless dresses, and so on and so forth. You need a good strapless bra and this one (literally) won’t let you down. I constantly recommend this bra when I’m asked for a recommendation and just can’t say enough good things about it (it also comes in a wide range of sizes, up to an H cup!) You can wear it five different ways… as a traditional bra, as a halter, with the straps crossed in back, taking one strap off for one shoulder, or taking both straps off. Honestly, I just use it without the straps as it stays up so well on its own, but it’s nice to have options.

The Stripe - Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra

I really love that Wacoal is a brand that supports women of all shapes and sizes – many of their bras go up to an I cup!

    It’s so hard to find strapless bras that actually fit well, and it sounds like the ones you have have been serving you well, Grace! Love the seamless look of them too! 🙂

    I know I am missing the point of this post entirely, but all I can look at are the earrings you are wearing with the yellow dress. So so extra in the best possibly way!

    I swear by this bra. I recently took mine on a two and a half week trip and realized I’d forgotten my nude bra. No worries, this was so comfortable with and without straps – and I’m a 36DDD. I recommend it to everyone I know!

      Right!? I have had the exact same thing happen and been totally fine. It’s crazy- I’ve gotten every single one of my girlfriends obsessed too!

    I have one of Wacoal’s regular t-shirt bras and it has held up incredibly well! As in, I have worn it 3-5 days per week for almost 3 years now and it is still on the loosest hook. Thank you for sharing your rec on the strapless! I’ve been needing to purchase a new one!

      I love their t-shirt bras too! I am wearing one right now, haha as I wanted to be comfortable at the airport. Their bras are so so good… I’m obsessed.

    I actually have this bra and am so impressed–as an H cup, I ordinarily wouldn’t wear a strapless bra unless I absolutely had to. But this one is relatively comfortable, has great support, and actually stays up without the straps. Now I can wear all kinds of different necklines, which sometimes seems impossible for big-busted ladies like me.

      YAY – I am so glad you agree. It really just is the best bra ever!!!

    Can confirm, with 34G boobs it’s not easy finding strapless bras that 1. fit well and 2. actually stay up. I got the nude one in a Nordstrom trunk and just got a black one too! Highly highly recommend!

      I am so happy you agree! I have been spreading the word about this bra forever and I know people don’t always trust sponsored content but it really is just the best!
