The best convertible and strapless bras for all of your summer looks
Supportive yet switchable bras for any ensemble, no matter how bare
Those heady days when you can ditch the jacket and feel the sun on your shoulders are coming soon, which means our summer wardrobes aren't far behind. Halter, strapless, racerback, plunging, backless – there are plenty of styles that mean wearing a traditional two-strap bra is going to leave things looking unfinished. Every woman needs a convertible bra, also called a multi-way, because the straps can be altered to suit any style. And with new versions of this game-changer coming out each season, designers are getting more and more creative. Continue below for seven convertible bras you'll want to add to your lingerie collection.
