I鈥檝e been on the longest, most frustrating hunt for the comfy bra. If you鈥檝e ever unclipped your bra mid-commute, reached behind your back in public like some sort of contortionist, or cried real tears at the end of the day just from underwire digging in you get it. Finding a bra that鈥檚 both flattering and comfortable has felt like an impossible task. 鈥 until now.
1. Padded Microfibre Plunge T-Shirt Bra

This one was my 鈥渟afe bet鈥 a classic T-shirt bra with padding, microfibre softness, and that all-important plunge shape. When I tried it on, I actually said out loud, 鈥淥hhh.鈥 It felt buttery soft. The cups gave me a naturally rounded shape without feeling bulky, and the plunge didn鈥檛 gape or shift. It passed the white T-shirt test with flying colours.
2. Ultra Light Microfibre Plunge T-Shirt Bra

If the padded T-shirt bra was my trusty sidekick, this ultra-light version was my secret weapon. It feels barely there. The support is surprisingly good for how minimal it feels, and the microfibre fabric is like a second skin. It鈥檚 ideal for warmer days or when I just want a “no bra” sensation鈥ithout actually skipping a bra.
3. Comfort Microfibre Plunge Bra
Treat yourself for 拢22
This one surprised me the most. It鈥檚 aptly named鈥攖he comfort microfibre plunge truly delivers. It has no padding but still offers support and shape. I reach for this when I鈥檓 lounging, working from home, or heading out for a casual coffee. It’s wire-free, but doesn鈥檛 make me feel unsupported or droopy (which is rare in non-padded, wireless bras).
4. Strapless Microfibre Multiway Bra

I usually find most strapless bras completely useless. However, this one shocked me. It stays up. I wore it to a wedding (dancing and all), and it didn鈥檛 budge. The microfibre again plays a big role it鈥檚 soft, smooth, and sits beautifully under dresses.
The Linen Blend Stripe Cami Pyjama Set in Blue Mix 拢48 has been a total lifesaver in this summer heat. Paired with the Waffle Cotton Long Robe in White 拢58, I鈥檝e never felt more spa-like at home. The robe is lightweight but still cosy for cooler mornings or just lounging post-shower. Together, they鈥檙e the ultimate combo.
The Boux Avenue sale is officially live with up to 50% off across lingerie and nightwear. The sale runs until Sunday, July 13, so don鈥檛 wait too long. I鈥檝e already filled my basket up again.
