Arqs Zelda Bra is a classic bandeau shape with a dance inspired pinch front detailing, an everyday basic you can wear and wear whilst offering plenty of coverage and support for a wide range of cup sizes. Like some skivvies-based “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” ARQ has managed to achieve the truly miraculous: a single style of underwear that both conforms to and flatters every body shape. “Most of the handful of people I was working with on production in L.A. told me they were ridiculous,” said Abigail Quist, the ARQ founder.

But with the rise in remote work and flex scheduling, many of us have turned away from these traditional bra styles and towards comfier, unlined bras and bralettes.
