The Essential Strapless in Black

The strapless bra that actually stays up. So go on, wear the dress.

The Simone Pérèle Essentiel Strapless Bra in Black is the dependable, disappearing strapless every wardrobe needs. Sleek, comfortable, and genuinely supportive — designed to stay up all day and all night without a second thought. Made from luxuriously soft and smooth microfiber that vanishes seamlessly under clothing, with molded cups that lift and shape and multi-position straps that can be worn six different ways. In a classic, versatile black. By Simone Pérèle.

Why she'll love it

The elastic inlay in the band is the engineering detail that makes this strapless actually work — it prevents sliding down and keeps the bra firmly in place without digging. Side boning adds structure that holds your shape and eliminates the dreaded strapless slip. The molded cups lift and shape without padding bulk, and removable memory foam pads in A–C cups add optional cleavage. The versatile plunge neckline works under everything from a deep V-neck to an off-the-shoulder silhouette. Black is the shade that works under dark fabrics, sheer overlays, and anything where nude would show — the essential complement to the Light Nude colorway.

Fit & Feel

Luxuriously soft seamless microfiber. Molded cups. Side boning. Elastic inlay in band. Three-tier hook-and-eye back closure. Multi-position straps — worn 6 ways. Underwire. Removable memory foam pads in A–C cups. Available in 32–38 A–F. Black. By Simone Pérèle.

What makes it different

Simone Pérèle has been engineering beautiful, technically superior lingerie since 1948 — and the Essentiel Strapless is a masterclass in that tradition. The combination of side boning, elastic band inlay, molded cups, and six-way straps gives it a level of versatility and staying power that most strapless bras simply don't achieve. The seamless microfiber is next-level soft — the detail that makes this the strapless she actually wants to wear, not just tolerates. Available in an exceptional size range: 32–38 in A through F.

How to wear it

Wear strapless, halter, criss-cross, over-the-shoulder, or any of the six configurations the multi-position straps allow. Black works beautifully under dark fabrics, black lace, navy, and any color where you want a clean, confident foundation. The versatile plunge works under deep necklines, off-the-shoulder styles, and backless silhouettes. Pair with the Light Nude for a complete two-bra strapless wardrobe — one for light fabrics, one for everything else.
