Stylish non-wired M&S bra will make you 'forget you're wearing it'

This M&S bra is only £18 and comes with hundreds of five-star reviews from happy shoppers. (Marks & Spencer / Yahoo Life UK)

If you'd told us a few years ago that underwired bras would no longer be a must, we might have disagreed, but now bra designs are so advanced that wire-free styles can be just as good at providing comfort and support.

Softer, less restrictive styles are not just great for working from home, but they stop you from having to deal with wires digging into your chest and armpits while you're out and about, and are perfect for everyday wear.

Take this Total Support Wildblooms Non-Wired Bra from M&S. Costing £18, it's a pretty but practical option for cup sizes A-H, but it’s free from padding and wiring.

This supportive but non-restrictive bra provides full coverage and pretty lace detailing.

Here's why you should retire the underwire and invest in an everyday bra like this.

The Total Support Wildblooms Non-Wired Bra might be wire-free, but that doesn't stop it from providing full coverage and great support. Whether you're running up the stairs, for the bus or on the school run, you'll feel safe, secure, and most importantly, comfortable.

Thanks to zero padding and wiring, it won’t look bulky under tight-fitting tops or dig into you while you're wearing it.

As for design, it couldn't be prettier, with delicate half jacquard, half lace-style cups that are finished off with a dainty little bow in the middle.

It’s a great option for different cup sizes, too, as it’s available in sizes 32A to 44H in three colourways: black, white and opaline.

You can also throw it into the wash at 40C (though we recommend putting it into a soft lingerie bag which will protect it and help it last longer).

With over 1,500 five-star reviews and counting, the Total Support Wildblooms Non-Wired Bra is flying off the virtual shelves with shoppers saying things like "best bra I’ve bought in a long time" as well as raving about its cut, support and comfort factors.

I recommend this bra. It's pretty and it's supportive. Very comfortable. Kind of bra you forget you're wearing! What more could you want. Good price, too. I shall buy another!"
