15 Pretty Balconette Bras You Didn't Know You Needed

Of all the bra styles, the balconette is meant to be seen. Whether you're giving the pantsuit-and-bra trend a whirl, looking for something to show off under a sheer top, or celebrating Valentine's Day with your significant other, this bra is typically purchased with a specific outfit or special occasion in mind.

The balconette's reputation as an ultra-flattering piece dates back to the '50s when iconic movie star and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe first popularized the style. With its straight neckline, low-cut cups, and wide straps, the balconette bra is designed to emphasize one's natural shape while offering incredible support.

Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair.
