From the skinny strapped sundress to the light and airy spaghetti straps of our favorite tank, a strapless bra is a quintessential summer closet staple. However, finding one that’s comfortable AND can support the girls can be daunting. There are different types and styles from a bandeau to a convertible strapless in which the straps can be worn in many different ways or not at all. So what do I do when I’m looking for first-hand, reliable suggestions? I go to my computer and straight to the Get Your Pretty On Pretties Facebook page of course and wow did they come through! When I say this page is an amazing resource and full of amazing women I’m not even exaggerating one bit. There were suggestions for every need and every bust size and I really do mean every bust size from A cups to I cups. I can’t say enough how much I love our Pretties!
Now if you’re wondering what my favorite strapless bra is, I’m going to be honest and tell you that I’m still looking for one that I can actually say I love. I did buy this bandeau from Target’s Auden line and it’s really comfortable but now I’m on the hunt for a strapless bra that has a deeper sweetheart neckline and one with convertible straps would be nice too. So let’s get right to it and see the roundup of strapless bra brands recommended by the Pretties!
The Wacol Red Carpet Convertible Bra was the overwhelming Pretties’ favorite! It comes in nude and black with a sweetheart neckline and two straps so you can create endless combinations or lose the straps altogether. It also comes in band sizes from 30-44 and cup sizes B-I. Priced at around $68 many said it was worth the investment and fully supported even the bigger cup sizes. Another Wacoal favorite is the Halo Lace Strapless Underwire Bra which can be found on both the Wacoal website as well as the Soma site. It also comes in black and a sand color and band sizes 32-40 and cup size B-DDD.
The Pretties showed some love to the brand Third Love and their 24/7™ Classic Strapless Bra which comes in four different colors ranging from a very light beige to a chocolate brown. Band sizes go from 32-48 and cup sizes AA-I. This bra also had great reviews on their site but the biggest difference between this brand and others is the availability of cups in a half size.
Cacique by Lane Bryant was another brand that was repeatedly mentioned for their comfort and their ability to stay put especially for bigger bust sizes. Their Lightly Lined Multi-Way Strapless Bra was named one of the favorites. It comes in nude and black but the band sizes have a wider range going from 32-46 and cups going from A-K.
Torrid was another brand that came up quite often boasting support, comfort and that it doesn’t slip. The Torrid Microfiber Lightly Lined Strapless Bra comes in a few different colors and band sizes 38-50 and cup sizes B-DDD and even up to an H in some band sizes. Another favorite variation is the Microfiber and Lace Push-up Multiway Strapless Bra. This one has a pretty lace detail and gives the girls a little boost. It also comes in a pretty blush color as well as a fun black lace style and a teal and black lace style. Band sizes range from 36-50 and cup sizes are from B-H.
Honorable Mentions
The below strapless bras, while they may not have received a ton of votes, they still received enough recommendations to be recognized.
If you’re still having trouble finding a strapless bra you love it could possibly be that you’re trying on the wrong size. If it’s been a while since you’ve been fitted it’s worth the time and effort to have a proper bra fitting done. Most bra fittings need to be scheduled in advance but certain places allow walk-in appointments. It’s best to call first and see what their policies are. Most department stores offer bra fittings but you may also have some local boutiques around. A quick google search can help you find one.

Have you ever put on a piece of clothing that instantly sparks nostalgia? This dress was that piece for me. When I first pulled it out of the box, I couldn’t believe how much it brought back memories of my first pair of madras plaid shorts I wore in high school. Funny thing is I remember my mother telling me then how she had fond memories of this fabric from her youth. What goes around comes around, right? I have a feeling we’ll be seeing madras plaid again and again!
This madras plaid dress from Ann Taylor hits all the right notes for summer. It’s SO easy to dress up or down simply by swapping out a heeled sandal for a flat one. And let’s talk about the bow tie at the waist for a second, I mean how DARLING is that?
There are a handful of questions that I get from the GYPO community on repeat every single season without fail. One of the most common ones I hear in the summer months is, “How do I make an outfit look interesting and intentionally styled without adding layers and heat?” My first response to this is a lightweight printed kimono and my second suggestion is always fun accessories! Today I’m sharing with you some fabulous brands that have fun, bright, and trendy earrings that will add the perfect finishing touch to your look. Need a little extra outfit inspiration? Try this foolproof outfit formula – I promise you it’s a winner every time!
Solid Tee or Tank Top + Denim Shorts + Neutral Sandals + Bold Earrings
Lola Ade not only has a fantastic collection of colorful earrings, but her minimalist rings are super cute! If you’re looking to make a statement you need to check out these rainbow glam fish earrings – they are now on sale too!
Acrylic earrings are really popular right now because they can come in so many different shapes, sizes and colors plus they don’t have a lot of weight. The acrylic chain drop earrings below also come in solid colors like white, salmon, and seafoam if that’s more your style.
Narrowing down just a few earrings to share from Esh Jewelry was incredibly difficult – you really need to visit her Etsy shop to see all of the beautiful options to choose from. All the earrings below are available in multiple color and style options plus she even carries beautiful vintage floral and cameo pieces as well. You’re certain to find something you love.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that it’s officially swimsuit weather unless you’re one of our fabulous Pretties from Down Under then you’re just heading into the winter. If that’s the case, hold on! It will be summer again before you know it! Regardless of where you live it’s a vast understatement to say that life is anything but normal. It’s a new normal we’re dealing with. Summer is usually a time of carefree vacations and fun festivities with friends and family yet I know many have had to alter or cancel their plans. More and more people are staying local and using the resources they have whether it’s the sprinklers in the back yard or taking a day trip to find a beach or a lake. No matter what your summer plans hold, having a great swimsuit is never a bad idea. And if you’re on a budget like most of us are during these unprecedented times, finding a budget-friendly suit is an absolute must! That’s why I’ve been searching the internet to find what I think are some great swimsuit finds. I threw in some with fun prints, some solids and a few coverups as a bonus, so no matter what your summer holds, you’re ready for a little sun.
The 4th of July is coming up and for many that usually means cookouts and fireworks with friends and family to celebrate America’s Independence. While this year will still include grilling and fireworks, I’ll be enjoying those from my own backyard with Craig and the kids. Everything is different this year but that’s okay. We are all in this together and that doesn’t mean that I can’t still get into the holiday festivities with a little red, white and blue.
I found this amazing denim color, peplum ruffle tank top which is perfect for the Texas heat. I love that it has a soft texture to it and the peplum detail is so cute!
I’m a sucker for a great pair of white denim shorts and I love that these have a little distressing to them. If you’re not into shorts check out the links at the bottom of this post for other white bottom options.
I already have my white from the shorts and my blue from the top so of course, it would only make sense to add in my red for an official 4th of July look. In the summer I love a great pair of wedges and these ones by Brinley Co. are so cute and add the perfect pop of color I wanted for this look.
Simple is beautiful and that’s how I feel about this red handbag. I love the simplistic design and the single strap with the silver hardware. This bag is perfect for carrying everything I need!
With so many other pops of color I decided to go simple on the earrings. This is a fun take on a hoop earring with its crescent shape and their hook closure ensures they’ll stay on.
You can never go wrong with a classic and aviators are just that. I love how the silver rim of the glasses coordinate with the silver crescent earrings as well as the silver hardware on the handbag. These glasses are the perfect way to finish off this look!
A huge thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post and continuing to support small businesses like GYPO!

I am so glad I was part of the Fall 2019 Style Challenge. It gave me confidence and so many great outfitt ideas. The ladies in the group were very supportive and I will defintetly be doing another challenge in the future.

I’ve been participating in the GYPO Style Challenges for three years now and I’ve loved it. I’ve always loved clothes, but I didn’t know how to put outfits together. My closet is now full of mix-and-match outfits, I have learned how to dress myself, and there is no more stress in figuring out to wear. The private FB group is full of wonderful ladies that build each other up. It’s so fun and is seriously the best group on FB.

Get Your Pretty On has changed my life, seriously. I have always chased what is trendy but found from season to season, that things go out of style and I was wasting money on items that I would only end up wearing a few times. GYPO has enabled me to simplify my closet, helps me make smarter purchasing decisions, and I feel so put together and confident using the outfit formulas that are provided. This program is a GAME CHANGER. I've been following GYPO for a few years now and my only regret is not jumping on board sooner.
Michelle Kline November 20, 2019
Great community of ladies, helping each other look stylish, without breaking the bank, and using much of what you already own.
Chosen Faith November 19, 2019
GYPO challenges have been one of the best things I have done! It had taught me so much more than just creating a closet of clothes that I love but also to have confidence in myself, how to pick and choose colors that work for me instead of against, and had given a wonderful community of Pretties who are so special.
