Shopping for the best bras for teens can be challenging. You'll want to find a style that fits comfortably, provides ample coverage, offer good support, and still look super cute. However, not all bras for teens are created equal, so you'll need to know what to look for. One way to do that? Determine what development stage you're shopping for.

Those with smaller-sized, teardrop-shaped, or round chests will reap the benefits of a balconette bra. The romantic silhouette will help create fullness on the top of the chest by lifting from the bottom. Teens with larger-sized breasts may prefer styles with good coverage, like supportive bralettes and full-coverage bras with underwires.

There are also plenty of different designs, cuts, and fabrics to choose from. Some of the most popular and affordable brands include Hanes, Spandex, and Calvin Klein (all are also available on Amazon!). If you enjoy working out at the gym or running daily, we suggest stocking up on a few comfy and breathable sports bras. If you plan on pulling out all your favorite sleeveless dresses for the summer, toss a few strapless bras into your cart (we've also got great plus-size bra styles, too.)

To help you find the best picks to complement all your outfits, we've curated a list of the best bras for teens based on customer reviews and picks our editors love to wear. From adjustable straps, to removable pads, and wire-free styles, there's sure to be a cute bra that’ll fit every teenage girl comfortably.

Available in 20 sizes and four colors, it's easy to understand why this anti-gravity bra is a fan favorite. The stretchy cotton fabric smooths sides, while the flexible fit provides moderate coverage and support, suitable for everyday wear.

Cons: X Lack of support

Size: 34A—44D

Coverage: Full

Support Level: Moderate

Style: Wire-Free Bra

Customer Review: "It fits great and is super comfy for work. I'm top-heavy on the sides more than my actual bust, so the wiring in other bras tend to come out because of all the moving around and physical activity I do at work. Without the wire but still having the support, it helps me feel more comfortable at work. The padding also helps make my bust look a little bigger, which is also a plus."

It's official: This SKIMS bra does live up to the hype. Wear this medium-coverage bra as a traditional strapless bra, or model it crisscross or straight.

I have worn these [three] days in a row (taking them off at night), and they never lost their adhesiveness. They also do not hurt to peel off. I recommend [them]."

There's so much to love about ThirdLove's plunge bra, and it's hard to know where to start. There's the luxuriously soft and breathable pima cotton. Then there are the memory foam cups that provide lift and coverage. However, the best part might be the removable inserts. You can opt for maximum support or remove them for a lighter finish. Either way, we love how this v-neck has all our bases covered.
