By no stretch of the imagination can this be considered a sexy bra.  The style is sturdy, the fabric is durable.  However, it is mega-comfortable.  The support is excellent and the burden on the shoulders is nil.  The cups are lined, so nobody can tell by looking at you that you are feeling chilled.  Too bad they didn't design it with a prettier fabric and a bit of lace so it would look as nice on its own as it does under clothes.  But it hardly seems fair to subtract stars for appearance when it performs the almost impossible feat of being a truly no-poke underwire bra
