I'm Living In Bra Dresses This Summer - Specifically, This Genius Uniqlo One
I have a love-hate relationship with bras. I love the support (and the subtle lift of a push-up), but the wires, the straps, and the constant readjusting? Not so much. That's why, when I realised bra dresses existed, I quickly ditched my go-to lingerie and took the plunge (pun intended). No more straps peeking out, no more awkward lines disrupting the silhouette of my outfit. It's the no-muss, no-fuss staple I didn't know my wardrobe needed. But integrated bras aren't exactly new to the sartorial scene. Back in 2023, Uniqlo's Bra Tank Top made waves on TikTok, accumulating over 2.7 million views, jump-starting a range of built-in bra tops we're still shopping in 2025 - my personal favourite being the Cotton Low-back Bra T-Shirt. Since then, a range of high street brands have jumped on the trend, but, unsurprisingly, Uniqlo has taken centre stage with its excellent line-up of bra dresses. The fashion set's pick? The Washable Knit Sleeveless Bra dress - equal parts stylish and practical, making summer dressing feel easy breezy. 1. Uniqlo, Washable Knit Sleeveless This versatile dress will become the hardest-working staple in your wardrobe, right behind your trusted striped shirt. Of course, the Uniqlo dress's biggest draw is the built-in bra, seamlessly integrated with 360-degree shaping and support. It offers the same structure as a regular bra, minus the visible straps that can break up a clean-cut outfit. But its silhouette is just as appealing, subtly figure-hugging, gently nipped at the waist, and falling into a softly flared, ankle-length skirt. Available in four shades, it's the kind of effortlessly versatile piece that earns its spot in any capsule wardrobe, something you'll reach for on repeat, no matter what the weather app throws at you. Naturally, just like with Uniqlo's cult bra top, the high street has begun to follow suit, with a few labels starting to roll out built-in bra dresses in every form. After something sporty for off-duty days? Lululemon's Align Dress is a great choice. Prefer something that leans dressier? Abercrombie & Fitch's Bra-Free Flowy Maxi is a good option, with removable pads and an elevated silhouette that can be dressed up in an instant. Shop the best we could find below, including the other three versions of the Uniqlo favourite. 2. Uniqlo, Washable Knit Sleeveless - Black A classic black dress is a no-brainer, and seamlessly slots into your capsule wardrobe. 3. Uniqlo, Washable Knit Sleeveless - Grey This classic grey dress is the ultimate addition to an off-duty wardrobe, and can easily be worn as loungewear thanks to its incredibly comfortable stretch fabric. 4. Uniqlo, Washable Knit Sleeveless - Olive The olive green version is a great staple to wear now and into the autumn months ahead. Pair with cool-girl approved buckle boots to survive summer showers. 5. Abercrombie & Fitch, Bra-Free Maxi Dress - Marine Blue The fashion set has fallen head over heels for the marine blue Abercrombie Bra Free dress, and it's not hard to see why. 6. Lululemon, Align™ Dress Designed for yoga but easily worn off-duty, the Lululemon Align Dress comes with a built-in shelf bra and is made from a buttery soft material for extra comfort. 7. Abercrombie & Fitch, Bra-Free Maxi Dress - Brown Pattern This geometric tile print dress is an excellent option if you're looking for a maxi dress with bohemian charm. Pair with cowboy boots for a look that festival goers would envy. 8. Uniqlo, Cotton Tube Bra Dress Price: $19.90 (was £34.90) Made with Uniqlo's signature AIRism fabric, the tube bra dress is smooth and cool to the touch. 9. Uniqlo, Crepe Jersey Bra Camisole Dress Price: $24.90 (was £34.90) Featuring an elegant, back-flattering tie design, this cami bra dress comes in four different colours, including a striking mango orange. @uniqlophofficial and @latelywithjess Emma Richardson is a fashion commerce writer for Grazia.

5 Smart Deals That Turned Roger Federer Into A Billionaire
Image via Instagram/Roger Federer Roger Federer has officially smashed records off the court—becoming one of the rare billionaires in global sports. While his $130 million in prize money from 20 Grand Slam wins is remarkable, it's just the tip of the iceberg. Federer's billion-dollar fortune was built by making power moves in the business world—long after the final point was played. The Swiss Maestro mastered the art of brand building, smart investments, and lucrative endorsements, creating a personal empire worth $1.3 billion. In this article, we break down the five most game-changing business strategies Federer used to become a global billionaire athlete, offering a blueprint for success beyond sports. 1. A Game-Changing $300 Million Uniqlo Deal In 2018, Federer made global headlines by walking away from his long-term deal with Nike. Critics called it risky, but Federer had a smarter play. He signed a jaw-dropping $300 million, 10-year deal with Japanese retail giant Uniqlo—without any performance or appearance clauses. This means Federer earns millions annually, even in retirement. The partnership allowed Federer to build a lifestyle brand rather than just being another sports ambassador. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A stress-relief game that everyone around me is playing Elvenar - Play on Browser Learn More Undo Today, the Uniqlo deal is a masterclass in long-term brand value. 2. The $500 Million Sneaker Bet on 'On' When his wife introduced him to Swiss running shoe startup 'On,' Federer didn't just sign a sponsorship deal—he became a co-owner. In 2019, Federer took a 3% stake in On instead of a payout. Fast forward to 2021, the company went public with a staggering $11 billion valuation. Federer's stake is now valued at over $500 million, with On continuing to soar globally. This move shows how Federer evolved from brand ambassador to equity shareholder, reaping exponential returns. 3. Building the Money-Making Machine: Team8 In 2013, Federer took athlete representation into his own hands by co-founding Team8, a management agency, alongside his trusted agent Tony Godsick. Team8 doesn't just manage Federer—it scouts and represents elite players like Coco Gauff and rising stars, creating a revenue-generating platform. Team8 also co-produces premium events like the Laver Cup, giving Federer equity in global sports entertainment. This brilliant vertical integration means Federer profits from multiple levels of the sports industry. 4. Breaking into Luxury Fashion with Oliver Peoples Federer's business genius doesn't stop at sports. In 2023, he teamed up with luxury eyewear brand Oliver Peoples under Essilor Luxottica to launch the exclusive RF x Oliver Peoples collection. With sleek designs inspired by Federer's personal style, the brand quickly became a hit among luxury shoppers. This move expanded Federer's brand identity into high-end fashion, showing how sports stars can thrive in luxury markets. 5. Cashing in Big on Premium Endorsements and the Laver Cup Federer's off-court fortune is supercharged by long-term global endorsements with powerhouse brands like Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, Moët & Chandon, Barilla, Wilson, and Lindt. In 2023 alone, Federer banked over $95 million from endorsements. Plus, the Laver Cup—co-founded by Federer—is now a global tennis event generating millions in sponsorships and ticket sales. Federer's ability to keep cash flowing even after retirement proves why he's called the 'Billion Dollar Gentleman' of tennis. Roger Federer didn't just dominate tennis—he reinvented athlete entrepreneurship. With sharp business instincts and world-class brand-building skills, Federer turned his sports legacy into an unstoppable financial empire. His journey from tennis champion to billionaire businessman proves one thing: true greatness isn't just about winning titles—it's about creating lasting value. Federer's business playbook is a masterclass in wealth-building, inspiring athletes and entrepreneurs worldwide to think beyond the game and invest in their future.

How 3% Of A Shoe Company Made Federer More Money Than 20 Grand Slam Wins
Tennis great Roger Federer's most lucrative financial move wasn't made on a tennis court — it came through a strategic investment in a Swiss sneaker company, On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON). According to Bloomberg's Billionaire Index, Federer has amassed a net worth of $1.3 billion. While he earned $130.6 million in prize money during his 24-year career — including 20 Grand Slam titles — his wealth primarily stems from endorsements and investments. Don't Miss: —with up to 120% bonus shares—before this Uber-style disruption hits the public markets Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — From Grand Slams To Billionaire Status Federer joins the ranks of billionaire athletes, including Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Tiger Woods. His net worth reflects a combination of endorsements, equity stakes, and earnings, adjusted for Swiss tax rates and market performance, according to Bloomberg. Many of his partnerships have spanned decades. Federer earns $8 million annually from Rolex and $5 million from Mercedes-Benz, and also received $20 million from Swiss chocolatier Lindt, Fortune reported. However, his biggest financial wins came in the later stages of his career. The Uniqlo Deal That Led to a $500 Million Sneaker Bet In 2018, Roger Federer ended his long-standing apparel partnership with Nike (NYSE:NKE) and signed a $300 million, 10-year deal with the Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo. Unlike Nike, Uniqlo doesn't produce footwear, giving Federer the freedom to explore new opportunities in the shoe market. Trending: $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. That opening led to a pivotal investment in On Holding, then an emerging sneaker maker. Federer first came across the brand after his wife bought a pair and introduced him to its founders. Impressed by the product and vision, he met with the team and later collaborated on developing his own line of performance shoes, Bloomberg reported. Federer ultimately purchased an estimated 3% stake in On. The brand's popularity has surged, particularly in the U.S., and it now has a market capitalization of more than $17 billion. Bloomberg estimates Federer's stake is worth at least $500 million—nearly four times his total tennis prize earnings over two decades. From Athlete to Investor: A Shifting Playbook Jordan, James and Woods are all part of the billionaires club, not just through sports performance but through savvy business decisions. Federer joins that group by taking a longer-term approach. While many athletes today expand their influence through social media and brand visibility, Federer has taken a different has remained selective about his public presence and commercial commitments, avoiding commentary roles and short-term sponsorships. Instead, Federer works with long-term advisors, including his management company Team8 and investment firm Format A, to focus on brand partnerships and philanthropy that align with his personal values, according to Bloomberg. A Legacy Beyond the Court In a commencement speech at Dartmouth College last year, Federer urged graduates to look beyond their careers and focus on meaning and impact. "All of you have so much to give, and I hope you will find your own unique ways to make a difference, because life really is much bigger than the court," he said.
