What is a Racerback Bra?
A bra with V-shaped or X-shaped straps in the back that meet between the shoulder blades is a racerback bra. Its back design prevents straps from slipping off your shoulders and is an excellent solution for sleeveless tops where traditional bra straps might be visible. This design can take many shapes. Some may take the form of a panel that covers the center of your back, and others can be as simple as straps that connect at the center of the back of the bra. J-hooks are an easy way to achieve this same effect by bringing the straps closer together on the back, while also keeping the option of the traditional strap configuration.
Racerback Bras
A sporty style that won't show under sleeveless tops
If you need no-show support with clean lines that will give you a flawless silhouette under the skimpier and more revealing styles of tops you may reserve for summer or special occasions, try a backless bra style. This bra style gives incredible support and adds incredible versatility to your wardrobe. Low backless bras are a great option for when you want to keep your bra band in the back out of sight.
Racerback bras are great choice for warmer weather months because your straps are able to stay hidden under tank tops and sleeveless shirts. With a normal bra, straps would normally peek out from under ribbed tanks and racerback tanks. Racerback bra straps, in contrast, stay hidden and in place under the most popular summer top and dress styles.
In addition to the obvious style advantages, racerback bras are also a popular choice for athletic women. This is because the racerback strap design allows you to have more arm motion and flexibility during physical activity.
While underwire racerback bras provide lifting support and boost your silhouette, wire free racerback styles give you the support you need with the comfort of cups without underwires. Molded cups and padding can help enhance your shape and cleavage, while unlined styles offer more breathability, ventilation and comfort for when you want to keep cool or lounge around the house.
Next time you’re planning your wardrobe for a date night, a formal event, or any other special occasion, make your life easier by adding a good backless bra with support to your lingerie drawer. They’re versatile enough to work under nearly anything – backless or not!
