The best bra solution for asymmetric tops
9.4.2025
One-shoulder tops are all well and good – until you have to deal with strapless bras that never fit properly. What’s the alternative? You’ll find it in the world of sport.
If you have boobs, you’re probably all too familiar with the dilemma of strapless and asymmetrical tops. Namely: what the hell do I wear underneath?
Bra straps detract from the off-the-shoulder look and the most obvious solution, strapless styles, come with their own bunch of new problems: from lack of support, to slipping, pinching and looking obvious or unsightly. Finding a strapless bra that fits well is a Herculean task, which only gets exponentially more difficult the bigger the cup size. Of course, you can simply go braless, but that’s not necessarily something you’ll feel comfortable with.
Sports bras – imo, the perfect solution
For around two years now, I’ve simply worn an asymmetrical sports bra under my one-shoulder tops instead. It sits discreetly under the fabric, doesn’t slip and offers more support than I will ever need whatever life throws at me on an average day.
My one-shoulder sports bra is an old one from the Athleta brand, which unfortunately you can’t buy any more. But we do have alternative options here in our store:
I’d recommend Girlfriend Collective’s Bianca One Shoulder Bra, which will hopefully be available at Galaxus again soon.
Unfortunately, I’m yet to uncover the perfect hack for completely off-the-shoulder tops, i.e. bandeau tops. Have you? Let me know in the comments.
