(SPOT.ph) We know, we know: You hate bras. We get it and we’re right there with you, which is why we’ve previously listed some comfy bras you can shop in Manila right now—no one deserves to have to imprison their girls in a tight, restricting, er, boob cage. Now, if you’re all about that #FreeTheNipple movement, then by all means we support you, but we understand that for some, there may be an internal conflict. Going bra-less sure feels better, but the eyes of society are forever trained on our bodies (unfortunately) and not everyone is willing to let it all hang out at work, family gatherings, or outside of the home in general. So here’s a compromise: Bra tops a.k.a. tanks and camisoles with built-in padding and bust support. These handy tops do away with the need to begrudgingly strap on a bra, but keep your girls covered up and in place—the best of both worlds! If you’re ready to stock up on as many as your closet can hold, we list some basic bra tops you can shop below.

If the popularity of athleisure has taught us anything, it’s that making activewear pieces work for casual outfits—whether or not you actually exercise—is a total life hack. This racerback tank from local brand Easy Active is built with medium-support padding for physical activities, but you can also dress it up with tailored trousers or pair it with some old denim shorts. The stretchy fabric will keep you cozy all day long.

Available online.

Add this stylish cropped halter from Love, Bonito to your lineup. It’s available in black, white, and lilac. Best of all, it’s padded so you can put it on without having to clip on a tight, uncomfy bra.

Available online.

We’re of the opinion that a bodysuit is a wardrobe staple, especially for those who love tucked-in outfits. The style instantly makes any outfit more polished, doing away with any excess folding around the waist or chunks of fabric awkwardly drooping around your midsection. Try the look with this corset-like bodysuit from Love, Ara. It’s padded and has a structured build that supports and accentuates your bust, so you can look put-together with no fuss.

Available online.
