Let’s face it: Being a woman is expensive. From our wellness essentials to our beauty regimens to our capsule wardrobes, the costs can quickly add up. And some of the priciest—but most essential—items we need? Bras. While not everyone loves wearing them, bras are undeniably a wardrobe staple. They’re the undergarments we’ve been conditioned to wear since our teenage years, evolving in style as we age. But finding the one—comfortable, supportive and flattering—can often cost a pretty penny. 

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to hunt down the best affordable bras, tapping into the expertise of my fellow editors along the way. From sexy lingerie looks to sports bras and bralettes, there’s something for everyone’s taste. Here, I've rounded up picks from 16 tried-and-true brands, ones we’ve tested and trusted for both quality and value. This way, you can save some coin on the countless other expenses women have while enjoying the comfort you deserve! 

When selecting the best affordable bras, I took several factors into account, including inclusive sizing, style variety and, of course, the price tag (ahem, everything on this list is $50 or less!). On top of testing out products myself, I also turned to a couple of PureWow editors for their favorites and combed through hundreds of customer reviews to ensure these brands consistently receive high praise.
