Let me tell you about my new favorite wardrobe staple - the Hanes Racerback Bralette. The first time I slipped one on, it felt like wearing a cloud. The 100% cotton fabric is so soft against my skin that I sometimes forget I have it on.
I live in these during weekends - whether I'm running errands or just lounging at home. The racerback design means no awkward strap adjustments when I throw on a tank top, and the T-back gives me full range of motion when doing light yoga.
Here's the real test though: after six months of regular wear and weekly washing (yes, I put them through the dryer too), they've held their shape perfectly. No stretched out elastic or fraying seams like I've experienced with other budget bralettes.
A word to the wise - definitely size up! I'm usually a medium but went with large based on reviews, and it was the right call. They fit snug but never dig in, thanks to that encased elastic band that doesn't cut into your skin.
Are they high-performance sports bras? No. But for everyday wear and light activity, they're absolutely perfect. Plus at this price point for a 3-pack, you really can't go wrong.
