A cupless bra, sometimes known as a shelf, open tip, open nipple or open cup bra,^[1] is a brassiere design composed of an open frame composed of a rigid, under-wired frame along the inframammary line, that supports or lifts a woman's breasts, but leaving the top of the breasts uncovered.^[2]

A cupless bra is regarded as a topless garment, as the nipples and areolae are uncovered. The garment can be regarded as erotic and seductive negligee, which can expose a woman's physical attractiveness by lifting and accentuating her breasts.

A cupless bra may be worn under an outer garment to provide support or lift for the breasts, while giving the impression that a woman is braless, because her nipples may be evident even through the outer garment.^[2]
