How to Wear an Open Cup or Shelf Bra
- As lingerie — an open cup bra or shelf bra worn alone is the most confident and most seductive lingerie statement you can make; pair with a matching thong or suspender belt for a complete erotic lingerie look
- Under sheer clothing — a lace shelf bra worn under a sheer blouse or mesh top creates a deliberately visible, fashion-forward layered look that’s bold without being explicit
- With a suspender set — the Shirley of Hollywood open bust balcony bra pairs beautifully with a matching suspender belt and stockings; explore our suspender belt collection for the perfect match
- For a special occasion — the Gracya Glow Swarovski crystal open bust balcony bra is the most luxurious choice for an unforgettable evening; the rhinestone shelf bra in white is the most glamorous bridal option

Open Cup & Shelf Bra FAQs
What is the difference between a shelf bra and an open cup bra?
A shelf bra sits beneath the bust, lifting and supporting without covering the nipple area — it’s the most classic and most versatile erotic bra style. An open cup bra has cups that frame the bust but leave the nipple area exposed — it’s the most seductive and most daring style. Both are designed to be worn as lingerie rather than under everyday clothing. Get in touch if you’d like help choosing between the two.
What colours do your shelf bras and open cup bras come in?
Our shelf bras and open cup bras are available in black, white, red, royal blue, pink, purple, and cream. The Shirley of Hollywood shelf bra range covers the widest colour selection — browse the full collection above to see all available colours and styles.
