What we love about Fleur Du Mal’s soft pink silk bra is its low half-cup design and slim balconette construction. This makes it easy for it to be concealed underneath strapless dresses and tops with front cut-outs on the chest area.

This bra comes with convertible black straps that allow you to switch it into a one-strap design, a cross-back design or a halter neck design as you deem fit.

Marks & Spencer’s multi-way bra is well-known for good reason. Said to be able to be worn 100 different ways (talk about versatility!), the secret behind the bra lies with its magic multi-position tape, which allows it to sit comfortably without slipping down when you’re wearing it strapless.

Featuring clear straps on the front between the padded cups, and an adjustable back converter which allows you to hook on either clear or coloured straps in straight or cross-back styles, this bra truly allows you to take customisation to the next level.
