Many women can probably attest that bras, no matter the style, are pretty uncomfortable and a nuisance to wear most of the time. But, camisoles with bra support? Now that’s a different story! In fact, built-in bras are typically comfortable as they don’t have painful material like clamps and wires that dig into your skin or feel restraining. Not to mention, camis with built-in bra support are arguably one of the best articles of clothing for layering, perfect for wearing underneath sweaters, cardigans, jackets, and blazers. Forget about straps that dig into your skin, these camis with built-in bra support that help lift, shape, and cover just as good (if not better) than a regular bra. Here are our tops picks for the comfiest and most supportive built-in bras:

I do throw another top over it if I'm leaving the house. While they wouldn't work for me to exercise in, they are perfect for just about everything else!" -Nic

Many thanks for this." -Mary C.
