Kendall Jenner recently admitted that she's always either braless or in a bralette, and she's not the only one. Tons of women (regardless of chest size) are now choosing more trend-forward and comfortable bra options — and the magic of the bralette is that it's about so much more than just support.
While your wear-everyday bra is likely black or nude (and not much of a sight to be seen), bralettes are its fashionable cousin, ready to take on any trend as if they're not worn under clothing. And lately, they've been trendier than ever — the same fads you're seeing online or at your local Zara are making their way to your undergarments. So it's time to give that worn-out piece a rest and start building a stylish arsenal that reflects your personality. Here are 10 bold styles that are sure to shake up your usual bra routine.
The Mesh Trim
For opaque coverage with a sexy touch, try a comfortable bralette that features some subtle detailing.

The Barely-There Cut
