Where To Find Front Fastening Bras
No matter your lifestyle, every woman appreciates a little convenience — and it hardly gets more convenient than slipping on a bra and closing it in the front (thereby dodging that whole reach-around or rotation ordeal). A front fastening bra, also known as a front closure bra, is easy on, easy off, making it a great option whether you’ve just had surgery, have mobility limitations or are just a busy gal who’s looking to save time in the morning and enjoys the simplicity of the design. The best part? The front-close feature is available in a slew of different styles, from a sultry plunge bra to a padded racerback bra.
The top struggle in regards to front-close bras is honestly just finding them. Not every store carries this unique style, and not every brand makes it. That’s why we’ve rounded up a few retailers that do carry front-close options. Let’s make getting dressed (and undressed) just a little easier shall we?
Brayola
There are plenty of reasons to love Brayola, and just one of them is their fantastic selection of front-closing bras. From lace T-back bra to a Y-back front closure bra with seamless cups, you’re sure to find one that meets your needs. Did we mention Brayola offers free shipping? Plus, this site boasts an innovative system through which it can make personal bra recommendations for you in a curated shop based on your size as well as the brands and styles you like to wear.
Nordstrom
There are reasons why this department store’s lingerie department is so renowned. Nordstrom offers a wide array of top-quality bras, excellent customer service, and ultra-helpful in-store fittings. To boot, this store happens to have a wonderful collection of front closing bras to choose from, from full coverage underwire bras to sports bras. If you want to try the bras on in person, you can filter out which specific styles are available at your local Nordstrom store. We love that you can also have bras sorted just for you and your preferences (after a quick quiz)!

Linda the Bra Lady
When it comes to specialized bra styles, this store has a serious leg up. At Linda the Bra Lady, you’ll find a notable number of front fastening bras, which can then be filtered down by brand, color, and whether or not they have underwire. From a soft-cup longline bra to a sports bra with a plunging neckline, Linda’s has a range of different options. (Pro tip: If you live close enough to the New York City or Cherry Hill, New Jersey store locations, swing by for a complimentary fitting from their expertly trained staff).
Kohl’s
If you’re looking to add more than one front fastening bra to your collection, you’ll find an impressive variety of styles at Kohl’s. Think convertible T-shirt bras, lace-trim push-up bras, nursing bras, and so much more. Sort your search by customer rating to find bras other women are really impressed by.
HerRoom
As far as quantity is concerned, HerRoom is a top pick for front closing bras, with over 100 styles in that category to choose from. The selection of front fastening options include everything from a high-impact sports bra to a lightweight sleep and leisure bra, so if you’re seeking a specific style or feature, this is a stellar e-retailer to start with. We love that in addition to searching the options by size, color, and brand, you can also you can filter by taste — such as athletic, sexy, and contemporary. You can also filter out the results by those which are top quality.
It’s important to note that fit is supremely important when it comes to front fastening bras. As most styles do not have an adjustable band, it’s crucial that you find a bra that fits snugly around your torso when you first purchase it (it will stretch over time). Your best bet is to make a visit to your local lingerie boutique or department store for a fitting — by finding out your correct size, you’ll not only be sure that any front-close bra is flattering on, but also that you get plenty of wear out of it.
