Reviews mention

  • Ultra-soft fabrics and textures
  • Vibrant, joyful color palette
  • Inclusive, extensive size range
  • Comfortable, flattering silhouettes
  • Inconsistent, confusing bralette sizing
  • Waistband creasing after washes
  • Fragile, fraying mesh materials
  • Limited breathability in synthetics

Parade earns mixed reviews: the brand delights with very soft, colorful, size-inclusive underwear and notably comfortable bralettes and loungewear that often become daily go-tos, but durability and sizing inconsistency undercut the experience. Reviewers praise fabrics like Seamless Universal and New:Cotton, flattering high-waist silhouettes, and fun drops, while reporting waistband creasing after washes, mesh fraying, bralette fit issues for larger busts, and questions around sustainability claims.

  • I LOVE parade!! Their undies are all I wear, they’re comfy, breathable, and they make me feel good!! I am part of their friends program, so I am able to try out many of their pieces. For their prices, they are worth it! I love size inclusive and sustainable brands, and they hit the nail on the head. Definitely worth checking out! Use my code: SIERRASPECTRUM for 20% off!

  • I really enjoy some of the seamless underwear. It doesn't roll or bunch. Some of the more lacy fabrics aren't as good, and had some extra fabric by the hips. I did like the lounge wear.

    Larger cup sizes!! Even the 1+ (smallest band, largest cup) had too small of a cup. Better size chart for bralettes, Make it based on inches of the ribcage and bust, not clothing sizes.

  • Parade is my favorite bra and underwear brand! Well, they've got more than just that. They offer an incredibly wide selection of bras, bralettes, underwear, loungewear, sleepwear, corsets, body suits, and so much more! They offer a pretty huge selection off styles and colors, too. Not only is everything they sell super cute, but everything is insanely soft! The fabrics are so buttery and comfy. You really need to try them out to get it! Also, they're totally affordable, so you don't need to spend an arm and a leg to get some cute new clothes! They are 100% worth checking out!

  • I truly love Parade! My first experience with them was a regular consumer and then as an ambassador! As a plus size women these are my absolute favorite underwear EVER! There are certain fabrics that I like the feel and fit of more than others like their re-play and universal fabrics but over all really happy with them!

    Their clothing sizing is often veryyyyyyy off! I usually size-up in pants up to 3 sizes and tops up to 2! It also changes for every collection, some end up too tight or too small! Have always had issues with their clothing!

  • Bless their inclusivity mission but what a mess of a company… their marketing copy and claims are inconsistent and all over the place. They will blast your inbox with marketing emails as soon as you make your first purchase even if you uncheck the opt in box before checking out which is not legal. The “New:Cotton” material, despite the name and marketing copy + images that claim it’s a cotton blend, actually contains ZERO cotton according to their website description. It’s mostly Tencel fiber and some elastane for stretch. I bought them anyways because I’m a fan of Tencel and am curious how they would work as underwear vs bedding and clothing. Without the promo code, I wouldn’t have made my first purchase.

  • Parade is a great company with amazing views. They are gender neutral and have great products. They are the only underwear I wear anymore.

  • One of my fav brands of all time! Huge fan of their branding and how they’ve made underwear so fun and empowering. Of course their pieces are also innovative for me as I never found bras that were actually cute, affordable, eco-friendly, and COMFY AF. Until I found Parade. I will say though that some fabrics are meh, like the Re:Play line which has started to pill for me. Hope they can improve the quality!

  • I have purchased multiple times from parade. All types of clothing and I am a huge fan of everything that I have purchased. One of my favorites is anything in the lush rib fabric. I have tank tops, short and long sleeve shirts in that fabric. The long sleeve lush rib top in eightball is what I am wearing in the photo. I am a parade devotee and will no doubt purchase more products from them in the future.

    Please keep basic colors in stock if possible! I would buy everything in black if I could.

  • I’ve always had trouble looking for comfortable bralettes but Parade has a wide variety of the cutest and comfiest bralettes! I also loved how comfortable their pants are, it’s great for wearing on a quick errand run or for just lounging around!

    The items I ordered fit perfect to size and their packaging is so cute and fun! I also received a $10 off coupon and stickers with my order!

  • I love this brand so much! They have sizes for everyone and a lot of their clothing are used in my everyday wear. There products are so comfortable and very appealing to the eye. Being someone with a bigger bust it's some times hard to find brands that make cute or sexy bras for women. I love that this company offers with there sets options of sizes for bust and bottoms, which makes shopping a lot less stressful.

  • I have over 50 pairs of Parade underwear. I latched onto the brand early in their launch, before they exploded, and have continued to purchase their new SKUs as they've expanded. So I can def give you a thorough review on how their underwear age over time. Here are the pros: - The color combos slap. I'm almost always impressed by the wide variety of colors and patterns they launch, especially in their bundles and packs. - Really soft. The band, the mesh, their RePlay fabric, the Universal fabric. Buttery and soft. - The brand itself has a remarkable ethos, which I think is a big reason they've done so well. Their partnerships and collabs and philanthropy work is gr8, as it their commitment to sustainability. Feels good to buy from a brand like Parade.

    The bad: - Their RePlay underwear styles don't age well — the mesh gets frayed/faded quickly, and the underwear band gets weirdly bent out of shape in the wash (a complaint that MANY people have). You can smooth it out and it's not a major issue, but it's annoying. The color of the mesh and the RePlay fabric eventually fade out of sync, which doesn't look great. - Their bralettes don't fit super well. You can even see it in the photos. I'm an A-B cup, pretty small overall, so it's not a support issue. They're just weirdly proportioned. I have about 5-7 bralettes of theirs and I rarely wear them. I always reach for something else instead. That said, they're VERY very soft. It's just the fit that's kinda whack. - This is totally objective, but some of their pattern/style choices are utterly baffling to me. A company with this much money and creative resourcing should be dropping incredible shit, every time, but I find myself regularly underwhelmed or really confused by the prints/patterns they launch, which sometimes look like clearance bin underwear from Target (e.g. most of their floral patterns; their recent floral lace launch which I thought was hideous, attached a screenshot)

  • As a brand, Parade is genuinely great. I love all of their sustainable practices. They also have created such perfect and cute items for people with bigger chests. Their fabrics are also awesome. My favorite being new:cotton. I wore one of their bodysuits in this fabric all day in 80° heat walking all over my campus and had zero sweat marks on the under boob. I wasn’t even wearing a bra with it either. Obsessed.

  • I bought a couple pairs of Parade underwear back when the brand first started gaining traction, and honestly I wasn’t impressed. The quality felt pretty cheap - seams and elastic poked through, and the waistband hem never sat straight, which was always a bit irritating. For the hype, the construction just didn’t match up.

  • Undies are pretty comfy but are pretty low quality. I've already started to notice pairs wear thin and break down after only a couple of weeks. I also don't think the material the universal thong is made out of is that breathable for long-time wear. It's also only "seamless" for as long as it doesn't roll up on your hips - which isn't long. The material does feel like absolute butter though, it's very soft and smooth.

  • I bought Parade underwear after seeing tons of influencers post about their products, and I wear these basically everyday. I love the seamless undies, they’re so easy to wear under anything, and I’d love to see more cotton or natural ingredients in their products.

  • SO comfortable, and they both fit well AND looked flattering. I used a friend's promotional code and talked to her about their little brand ambassador program, which I'm honestly looking into given my experience with the clothes I got and after hearing about how much she enjoys it. Super cute, super size inclusive, really a great brand.

  • I wanted to test out Parade given all the hype. I tried many varieties, but I didn’t like the fit and the materials just don’t feel great on my skin. I enjoy the colors, but I think I’ll stick to higher quality brands.
