However, contrary to popular belief, open cup and shelf bras are not really the same.
Difference Between Open Cup and Shelf Bras
Generally, open cup bras do not have any cups. These cupless bras only have a small amount of material that sits underneath your bust, leaving the sisters completely on display.
On the other hand, shelf bras provide some degree of coverage for your bust.

Both shelf bras and open cup bras have bands and straps, which help in lifting the bust, just like normal bras do. However, since these two bras are nearly the same, distinguishing them can be quite tricky.
