Aerie’s Smoothez Unlined Bra is so comfortable that we were able to wear it for 12-hour days without any discomfort. While lots of bras feel sturdy, this one has a buttery-soft smoothing design that doesn’t sacrifice support. The bra’s cups stayed in place and there was no excessive bouncing, even while jumping around and running through cobblestone streets. The underwire was so comfortable we could barely feel it. The bra’s supportive band and straps were also easy to adjust, and we never had to deal with dreaded gaps or bulges.
