I got a handful of nursing bras and tanks from Target and I really like them so far. Below are the styles I've liked the best.

These are very comfortable. Nursing my first baby didn't work out, but I continued to wear these as a bra or undershirt. I'm wearing them now during my second pregnancy and I'm still glad that I bought them they were recommended to me by my sister in law.

I have a bunch similar to this that I got at H&M and love. Key part for me was no clasp or anything, just push it to the side, pop the boob out, do your thing, than back in. Super comfy, I wear them constantly haha.

Asides from bras and tank tops, I never bought any nursing clothes with my first. If I knew I was going out and had to nurse, I would wear something with buttons or something stretchy that can be pulled down to free one boob.

I was an exclusive pumper so I lived in my nursing/pump bra.  I had 2-3 in rotation and this is just all I wore for 4 months.
