When the air gets sticky and the temperature hits above 90 degrees, there’s nothing worse than having an underwire digging into your skin. Plus, a rigid bra is not exactly the best accompaniment to your collection of narrowly cut tank tops. In the summer months, sometimes the most comfortable (not to mention cutest) alternative is a soft and forgiving bralette, which will leave you feeling much less restricted and add a sweet touch to your look if it does end up peeking out from underneath one of your go-to crop tops.

Whether you’re in search of a fun print, something silky, or even one with more coverage than the classic triangle cut, there are plenty of options—from neutral-toned lace bralettes with little yellow daisy detailing to leopard-print soft bras with sea green trim. Above, shop the 15 best summer bralettes—all of which can double as a stand-alone top when the weather gets particularly steamy.
