Admit it: Being holed up at home has given you the freedom to dress however you damn well please. For many of us, this means putting comfort above all, like wearing braless OOTDs, for example. But if you’re looking for a little more support in the chest area, might we suggest donning a lounge bra instead? Many celebrities have resorted to this simple yet stylish piece as their pambahay garb, and with good reason.
Most lounge bras come with pads for support, and they’re fashioned to look like cropped tank tops, so you can get away with sauntering around your home in it without feeling too exposed. Plus, its plain design and cute colorways allow you to match it with a myriad of things. Julia Barretto is always wearing B&W ones in her monochromatic outfits. Chi Gibbs wore hers with checkered green pants for a retro vibe. Lissa Kahayon frequently wears hers with high-waisted trousers for a casual look at home.
It’s safe to say it’s become a pambahay staple, so if you’re looking to hop on the bandwagon, here are all the online stores you can shop now to grab a piece:

If you’re looking for options, options, options (can you hear Toni Gonzaga’s voice?), look no further than IG shop Love, Jane. They offer a slew of bralette variants to cater to different preferences. There’s the Marcella, which offers a compressed fit because it’s made with Nylone and Elastane fabric that’s quick-drying, too. There’s also the cozier Catalina (P249) and Malia (P199) that feature a sharper V-neckline and a shorter hemline.

Form and function combine in the Kylie bralette from Malcah. Perfect for those who want comfort above all, it’s made with a ribbed knit material and comes with adjustable straps for a secure fit.
