Lined vs unlined
Cups
Lined bra cups have a light layer of foam padding. Unlined bra cups are purely fabric.
Shape
Lined bras offer more of a structured shape, while unlined bras feel lightweight and airy, creating a natural-looking silhouette.
Coverage
Lined bras offer full coverage with enhanced modesty. Unlined bras follow the body’s contours to varying degrees, depending on the fabrication.
Breathability
Our lined bras are designed with premium, lightweight padding for longwearing comfort. Our unlined bras would be considered breathable, given the absence of the foam cup lining.
Support
Both styles offer similar support when compared to their style-specific sisters. Your lined beauties will give an added layer of structure and security over your unlined lovelies. That said, our unlined styles go up to an 18F cup, with certain designs offering more support for larger busts.
