Sloggi is known for their lounge-like bras that are so comfortable you could wear them to bed. This bra, in particular, offers a round cup with only the slightest bit of protective padding – perfect for creating a smooth shape. It has a sporty look and a breathable mesh strap around the band of the bra to ensure long-lasting freshness. 

It's made with a thick wire which can take time to get used to if you don't often wear bras, but on the upside, it's available in a great range of sizes, including 38 and 40 A and B. If you're not keen on grey bras, you can also find it in white, blue, black, and beige.

With non-obtrusive padding that gently lifts and protects the bust, you will hardly notice that you're wearing this bra. 

The straps are fairly long as it's a low V-neck bra, which may be a problem for extra-petite frames. However, it's perfect for slipping on under any outfit on the days where you don't really want to wear a bra, but equally don't want to go out without some shaping.

It's affordable, it's comfortable, and it's available in two dreamy colours; blush and white. The straps on this bra are thin and stretchy with an adjustable clasp on either side. The padding in this bra is designed to gently boost your shape.

In addition, it's made from 91% organic cotton so it feels just as silky as it looks. From John Lewis's Gentle Support range – a bra range for smaller frames – this is a good option for petite wearers, however, this does mean it excludes anyone over a 34 band size. Plus, even though this bra is a good staple, it will require a hand wash every few days.

It's a simple twist on the classic Calvin Klein bras with a racer-style back cut-out. This bra is super-comfy to gently exercise in and lounge in, but if you are small busted you can take advantage of relaxing without any bra at all - so this might not be deemed an essential if you aren't looking for a new yoga bra.

This petite luxury bra provides a flattering coverage with adjustable straps and a three-hook clasp to ensure a secure fit. The delicate floral lace is a beautiful addition to this comfortable bra and we love how elegant it looks. 

There's fine detailing in just about every area of this bra; with its thin straps and rounded push-up cup, you're sure to see a difference in shape, even under a baggy jumper. This is an expensive option, however we think it's a worthy investment for its elegance and quality.
