By now, most people have made their way back into the office at least a few times a week. But after two years of working from home in sweatpants and other forms of loungewear, many people's new official work uniform has veered toward styles that are both comfortable and functional — with an emphasis on comfortable.
With so much time spent focusing on outer layers like pants, tops and shoes, make sure you remember to upgrade your undergarments to the possible comfortable options, too! Nothing's worse than wearing a soft and silky top only to be suffering because bra wires are poking you underneath.
“I say bras are like shoes,” undergarment educator, bra fit expert and self-love coach Kimmay Caldwell previously told Hoda & Jenna.
If you’re not wearing the right kind, Caldwell continued, “it’s not going to feel good, no matter how amazing that bra is.”
Shop TODAY knows the bra struggle is real so, in addition to some expert picks from Caldwell, we rounded up some of the most comfortable bras for women that won't feel like a major chore to wear.
