Comfort is top priority now for everything we wear including our underwear.

Who couldn’t use a little help?

Here are the 10 best basics to own now, all with a body-positive attitude.

A woman in a store shopping for a bra

Try wearing so-called bralettes at home.

You’ll stand and sit up straighter and look better lounging around in tees and sweatshirts, too.

Look for wide, stretchy straps and a shape that actually covers your entire breast while adding subtle lift.

A wire-free support bra

Remember the big trend for molded-cup underwire bras?

It worked, no doubt about that, but somehow it felt likea lotof bra.

All feature lighter, more realistic-looking molded cups and gentle straps.

They look just as great under dark and light tops.

A sports bra in the correct level of support

You do gentleat-home workouts, yoga, barre or Pilates?

You need a low- to medium-level sports bra.

Jog, bike, cycle, weight train, play a racquet sport or run on a treadmill?

Opt for a medium- to high-level one.

Now that we all do some kind of workout (or at least wear the clothes for it!

), sports bras have become a must-have.

In fact, some women wear sports bras as all-purpose bras.
