There’s reason to cele-BRA-te! Organic cotton bralettes are here to support not only your girls but also the Earth. Somewhere between a bra and a tank top, bralettes are a favorite undergarment thanks to their absence of fussy (and non-recyclable) wire or metal clasps, making them an item of comfort and love.
Let’s get something off our chest: like our planet’s landfill crisis, we have big cups to fill when it comes to a conscious commitment to buying organic clothing brands.
That’s why we’ve lifted the best organic cotton bralettes that will hug your curves without hugging toxic chemicals, landfills, or unjust workers’ conditions.
In addition to seeking brands with organic fabrics, we’ll also be refreshing this article in light of our new Brand Rating System, which considers 22 criteria, from performance to circularity and much more that you can read about here.
We independently research all featured brands and we ask them to confirm their claims. In many cases we personally review recommended products. This post contains affiliate links which means we may earn a commission if you buy something. Learn more here.

Subset
About Subset
Price Range: $48
Your knickers will never be in a twist with a flattering organic cotton bralette by NYC-based Subset.
The popular sustainable bra brand sells the Triangle, Keyhole, Scoop, and Tank, all wireless organic cotton bralettes in eight different colors.
These elevated basics are versatile and The Keyhole style, for example, can be worn as a yoga top or bra top for a cheeky night out. We’ve tested this particular Subset bralette, and not only is it one of the most comfortable cotton bras we’ve tried, but it provides surprisingly excellent lift and support sans underwire and padding.
Subset’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
95% GOTS-certified organic cotton and 5% elastane. The band is 69% TENCEL™, 19% polyester, and 12% spandex. Adjustable straps are 83% recycled nylon and 17% elastane, while the hook-and-eye closures for the Keyhole and Triangle bralettes are 92% recycled nylon with 8% elastane.
Fabric is dyed with OEKO-TEX sustainable dyes.
Supply chain & labor practices:
Our girls may need to be covered, but our supply chains should never be. That’s why Subset uses Fair Trade factories in India, where workers have living wages and healthy working conditions.
Carbon commitments & green practices:
If you’re wondering what to do with old bras, Subset’s recycling program for all bras turns them into things like furniture filling and insulation.
Inclusivity:
With inclusive models and sizing for any shape, Subset’s XXS-XXXL range includes plus size organic cotton bralettes.
Boody
About Boody
Price Range: $20–$54
Boody keeps your boobies organically befitted, thanks to their organic bamboo bralettes. With a ton of different styles available—including some organic cotton bralette packs—we recommend the Shaper for its sleek, versatile nature for both casual and active use.
Pick your favorite neutral color (or three) and pair with their organic underwear for full comfy coverage.
Boody’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
Organically-grown bamboo fabric from responsibly managed forests is the mainstay of Boody’s materials. It’s produced with non-toxic solvents and a closed-loop manufacturing process to repurpose all water and solvents. It’s Ecocert, OEKO-TEX, FSC, and ISO 9001 certified, plus PETA-approved vegan.
Some organic bralettes also feature LYOLYTE, their latest bamboo lyocell fabric, or organic cotton. Plus, all materials have some blend with nylon and spandex for comfort and stretch.
Supply chain & labor practices:
Along with FSC-certified Chinese forests, Boody is ISO 14001-compliant and WRAP certified for manufacturing. As a Certified B Corp, the brand also supports its bamboo harvesters with fair wages and makes public their Code of Conduct.
Carbon commitments & green practices:
All products feature an impact report that includes water saved and emissions prevented, and Boody uses SGS testing to indicate final products are non-toxic and free of azo dyes, heavy metals, or formaldehyde.
Recycled paper boxes and veggie dyes are used for packaging.
Inclusivity:
Their size range runs XS-XL, or fitting up to 38D or 40C. According to Boody, the LYOLYTE® collection tends to run small, so they recommend sizing up in those.
Community & charitable giving:
Boody cares about a boody-ful world, which is why they give back through 1% for the Planet and support numerous causes including family shelters, domestic violence support, cancer recovery, malaria research, and clothing donations for the less fortunate.
Pact
About Pact
Price Range: $15–$75
This sustainable underwear brand has made a pact to do better for the Earth, and that’s why we love Pact’s bralettes made of GOTS-certified cotton.
We’d call them some of the best supportive bralettes all without any fussy underwires or padding. Our favorite is the Everyday Classic T-Shirt Bra, which also works well as a thin organic cotton tank bralette.
Pact’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
Each Pact bralette features 95% GOTS-certified organic cotton with minimal elastane.
Supply chain & labor practices:
Pact’s ethical production happens in India, where their organic cotton is grown, processed, and sewn in (almost) exclusively Fair Trade-certified factories.
Carbon commitments & green practices:
Through their partnership with SimpliZero, Pact is Net Zero Carbon, and replaced any plastic packaging with recyclable paper Vela bags.
Inclusivity:
Pact wants us to all to make a pact to love ourselves, which is why they began the online campaign #justwearyou. Sizes range XS-XXL.
Community & charitable giving:
With the box your purchase comes in, you can donate any gently used clothing through Pact’s Give Back. Wear Forward program, which they pass on to those in need.
MATE The Label
About MATE the Label
Price Range: $38–$42
MATE the Label is one of our favorite brands that won’t break the bank (or planet). You’ve found a mate for life with their Organic Comfort Scoop Bralette. Available in neutral tones of bone, espresso, jet black, and sand, this luxe affordable bralette is the next best thing to being naked.
Perfect for a midday yoga session, wearing under your workwear, or a Sunday relax at home—in which case you’ll also love their cozy sustainable loungewear.
MATE the Label’s Ethical & Sustainability Practices
Materials:
MATE’s bralette is double layered with 92% certified organic cotton fabric from India. 8% spandex is added for comfort, shape, and support while remaining breathable.
Supply chain & labor practices:
“Clean from seed to skin,” is what MATE dubs their ethical supply chain and labor practices. All of LA-based MATE’s goods are produced at fair trade factories in the City of Angels within a 15-minute drive of their HQ.
Carbon commitments & green practices:
Hyper-local LA supply chain aside, MATE reduces supply chain impact by bringing organic cotton from India via freight ship. Their offices are zero waste and they recently joined the California Cotton & Climate Coalition, promoting regenerative agriculture.
They’re increasingly circular thanks to their reMATE program to repurpose unwanted MATE products.
Inclusivity:
Female founded and operated, MATE sizes run XS–3XS.
Community & charitable giving:
Through 1% for the Planet, MATE donates to numerous nonprofits, which customers can select from to support at checkout. They also partner with female-founded social impact tech company Beam to see where donations can make the biggest impact, which have included Surfrider Foundation, Fibershed, and Women’s Voices For The Earth.
