Summer Lingerie Essential: The Bralette

By now, you’re probably all well aware that the bralette is the bra du jour at the moment. The thin, easygoing style is both pretty to look at and functional. While there are some misconceptions about bralettes only being suitable for small busts, the truth you’ll learn from browsing #ShopNTL is that with a little bit of shopping and consideration of the right occasion, almost everyone can find a bralette with the right support. Now that the warmer months are coming and our clothing is getting a little bit more revealing, it’s a perfect time to invest in a bralette or two as a perfect accessory to our summer outfits, or just for a little bit more breathability.

Lacy and feminine bralettes tend to be the favourite among most. Brilliant designs, striking colours, and modern elements have people falling in love with lingerie again simply because of the bralette. A bralette tends to be built without an underwire and almost never has cups, so it’s a really liberating feeling slipping on a bralette and allowing your breasts to be in their own element. If you have a larger bust, ensuring you find a bralette with at least a little bit of support will definitely help you feel more comfortable trying the dainty trend.

Alternatively, if you love the idea of a bralette but aren’t into all the lace and frilly fabrics, there are most sporty, classic bralettes that have a similar shape. They look so effortlessly cool when they are peeking out of a tank with low armholes or even on their own with a pair of high waisted shorts or pants if you so dare.

Many opt to wear a bralette as a top, which is totally suitable and can be accessorized for more coverage. We definitely recommend going with a higher rise bottom so the tummy is mostly covered. A flared skirt and a blazer or kimono is an easy look that almost any body type can pull off with the right proportions.
