9 Cute +Size Front Closure Bras

by Mariah Carrillo

There's nothing worse than struggling to strap on a traditional bra in summer's heat and humidity; thankfully, with all the pretty plus size front-closure bras on the market, you have plenty of options on days when you don't want to fight with your lingerie. Front-closing bras can be a game changer in terms of comfort and easy fastening. Personally, I love this style for days when I have to cram a workout into a busy schedule. Twisting a plus size sports bra around after I'm sweaty and tired is too much of a hassle, so I love athletic bras that hook or zip up the front for drama free dressing.

You don't have to be a fitness junkie though to appreciate the lure of front-closure style bras. Consider these easygoing designs your fuss-free secret weapon on busy days, or anytime the heat makes twisting a regular bra around on sweaty skin seem like cruel and unusual punishment. And don't think you have to sacrifice style for practicality; these sweet and sexy styles prove that comfort can definitely be pretty. So, if you're looking for a bra that will have your back (even when you can't reach that far), check out these nine fun and functional plus size bras that will add a little ease to your daily routine.

1. Get Additional Comfort With A Wire-Free Design
