Wireless bras are finally having their moment. Since the bralette trend took off several seasons ago, we’ve been seeing an increase in the amount of wire-free bras on the market and we couldn’t be more excited.

Women wear wireless bras for different reasons. Some like the comfort and fit of a wireless bra while others love the look of a sexy wire-free bralette. Wireless bras can be worn for a number of occasions – from work to weekend and beyond and suit all breast shapes and bra sizes.

Wondering how to find the perfect wireless bra? Read on for our top shopping tips.

Seek supportive features

It might seem like wireless bras aren’t as supportive as wired bras, but that isn’t the case. By constructing wireless bras with wide, supportive bra bands in sturdy fabrics, lingerie brands are able to create a superior fit – no underwire needed. For the most supportive fit, seek out a wireless bra with a snug band and seamed or padded cups. Thick, adjustable straps provide comfort for your shoulders and a J-hook, like the one found on the Adriana Lace Bralette, only add to the versatility. Aside from being able to wear it regular or racerback, the Adriana Lace Bralette features seamed, lined cups that lift and shape the bust and a supportive lined bra band with a multi-hook and eye closure – proving that comfort and support are possible in a wireless bra.

Consider the occasion

Are you shopping for wireless bras to wear everyday? Or maybe you’re looking for a bra to wear to sleep, on the weekends, or when you’re lounging at home and want a little support. It all depends on where you’re planning on wearing your wireless bras. For example, with its smooth moulded cups and minimalist design, the Emma Wire-Free Soft Padded Bra makes the perfect wire-free bra to wear to work. Aside from being incredibly comfortable, it features padded cups that offer light lift and a rounded shape under clothing – making it an ideal bra for t-shirts too.

Bralettes are easily the number one lingerie choice for the weekend or for sleeping, lounging, or relaxing. They can be styled in a number of ways and many look stunning when worn as outerwear or under a sheer top for date night. From lace to mesh and modal to satin, a bralette is a beautiful investment for any lingerie wardrobe.

Get the size right

The key to a perfect fitting bra always lies in the fit. Full busts, plus size busts, and full figure busts may prefer the fit of a bra-sized wireless bra or bralette as opposed to a S, M, or L bralette. Women with small busts or petite busts may opt for a padded wireless bra in their bra size or a barely there bralette depending on their style preferences. A bra fitting is crucial to finding bras that fit well and feel amazing – no matter what style they are. We recommend getting a bra fitting at a local lingerie boutique if you’re having trouble finding wireless bras that fit. A bra fitter can determine your bra size and personal shop for wire-free bras that suit your bust and your budget. Perfect!

Do you wear a bra under your bodysuits? You might prefer to wear a push-up bra underneath because it makes your bust look bigger or more symmetrical. Or maybe you add a bra underneath because you wear a D+ cup size and don’t feel comfortable going without one.

So how do you make it work without sacrificing support and comfort? Read on for everything you need to know about wearing a bodysuit without a bra.

1.  Choose a bodysuit with wired bra-sized cups

Don’t want to wear a bra under your bodysuit? If you choose a bodysuit with bra cups, you won’t feel the need to. Bra-sized bodysuits have the added benefit of a supportive bra-like top. They’re essentially a bra and bodysuit all in one.

2.  Look for a bodysuit with padded wireless cups

A bodysuit with padded cups is another excellent option if you want to wear a bodysuit without a bra. Padded wire-free cups offer the rounded look of a t-shirt bra but without any wire. The Allure Bodysuit is an example of a beautiful yet supportive wire-free bra cup sized bodysuit. Available in sizes 32B-38F (UK bra sizing), this stunning bodysuit provides the support of your favorite wireless bra but looks like a sexy bodysuit – perfect for layering under a sweater dress or with a favorite sweater, boyfriend jeans, and ankle boots for an effortlessly chic look.

3.  Try a bodysuit with unlined or seamed cups

Seamed or unlined cups combined with a seam under the bust offer light lift and support for all bra sizes. The cups may be wireless or with underwire and typically look like a beautiful bralette up top. Unlined or lightly lined cups offer a comfortable and less-restrictive alternative to bra-sized cups.

4.  Wear pasties or adhesive nipple covers

Let’s say you fall in love with a beautiful lace bodysuit that isn’t lined. Wearing a bra underneath would take away from the overall delicate look of the piece, so you’re trying to figure out how to wear it without one. If you want something that will provide coverage for your nipples, a pair of pasties or a set of adhesive nipple covers could be the answer. While pasties are typically disposable, adhesive nipple covers are often made of silicone and can be worn several times if they’re cared for properly (washing them after wear and storing them in the plastic holder that comes with them).

5.  Go braless and rock your bodysuit with confidence

Wearing a bra is entirely up to you. If you’re confident and happy without one, there’s no need to wear a bra with your bodysuit. Enjoy the freedom of going without and rock your bodysuit with confidence!

Bodysuits are a beautiful and versatile addition to any lingerie wardrobe. They provide lightweight support, they flatter a multitude of body types, they can be worn year round, and they work well layered in the autumn and winter seasons and as outerwear in the spring and summer seasons. Just like bralettes, we believe bodysuits are here to stay.

Shopping for unlined wire bras, padded bras, and bralettes can be challenging. In this guide, we’re sharing everything you need to know to find the perfect fit.

How to find the perfect unlined wire bra

Romina Unlined Wire Bra P5522 | Romina Hipster P5525 in Black

Some of the most beautiful bras are unlined wire bras. This stunning style can be worn year-round and shows off your natural shape. When shopping for the perfect unlined wire bra, focus on finding a bra with a snug band, cups that completely contain your breast tissue, multiple hooks so you can adjust the bra band as it stretches, and adjustable straps.

Most unlined wire bras are banded and designed with little to no stretch in the cups. The rigid design helps to keep breast tissue lifted and in place. The Enora Minimizer Bra is a great example of an unlined wire bra with rigid cups as minimizer bras rely on their construction to readjust breast tissue and visually decrease the bustline by an inch or more.

How to find the perfect padded bra

Charlotte Padded Bra 6901 | Charlotte Bikini 6905 in True Nude

When shopping for the perfect padded bra, it really depends on the look you’re trying to achieve. If you want to get the most lift and enhance your cleavage, a demi bra, push-up bra, or plunge bra is just what you need. The low cut fit of a demi bra creates somewhat of a shelf-like appearance for your bust – lifting your breast tissue from the bottom up to provide an enhanced shape. Push-up bras have either attached or removable padding carefully sewn or molded into their bra cups to lift and center cleavage for a full look. Plunge bras work for a multitude of breast shapes and feature a low plunging neckline for a sexy look. Plunge bras may or may not have push-up padding in the cups (most don’t need because of the way they’re cut).

Contrary to popular belief, the right padded bra won’t add bulk to your bust. To avoid adding an extra inch or two, look for a lightly moulded bra with thin cups, like the Matilda Contour Plunge Bra. This style will smooth and lift your shape without increasing your bustline, like a push-up bra or heavily padded bra would. Also, consider a bandless padded bra if you notice discomfort along the band, cups, or center front of your current bra. A bandless style, like the Tess T-Shirt Bra, is designed to support your bust without digging into your chest or rib cage. It will also stay in place when you’re moving around or sitting down.

How find the perfect bralette

Adriana Lace Bralette P5482 | Adriana Bikini P5483 in Black

Without a doubt, bralettes are here to stay. We love the wireless fit and comfort that a bralette provides. They’re an easy breezy alternative to unlined wire bras and padded bras and they can be styled with sheer shirts, comfy tanks, and open back tops – making it easier for women with D, DD, and DDD+ cup sizes to get light weight support under their open back and low back tops and dresses. When shopping for bralettes, pay close attention to the overall design. Full busts will benefit from a bra-cup sized bralette, like the Adriana Lace Bralette, for maximum support.

With any bralette style, a wide bra band in a minimal stretch fabric will help to keep the bralette in place and provide a little lift. Seamed cups are ideal for bralettes as they are designed to shape the bust for a flattering look, since their wire-free cups lack underwire for shaping. Of course, you could always choose a beautiful bralette in a less than supportive fabric and wear a bra underneath, but that kind of defeats the purpose. Instead, seek out sturdy bands, structured seamed cups, and high-quality fabrics and you’ll have a bralette that you’ll wear and love for years to come.

When it comes to bra fitting, the fit of the bra is the most challenging part. You can fall in love with a beautiful lace style, but if it doesn’t flatter and support your bust as it should, you might as well throw it away.

We all struggle with different bra fit issues. These can range from the straps falling off our shoulders to the center gore (or center panel) not tacking against our chests to the bra band riding up our backs. Bras are undoubtedly more difficult to shop for than jeans, shoes, and dresses combined. These tricky little undergarments can feature anywhere from twenty to fifty components, which only makes it harder to get a great fit.

If your bra isn’t fitting you properly, we’re here to help. In this guide, we’re discussing some of the most common bra fit issues and to fix them.

Your band is either too tight or too big

You’ve probably heard that your bra band is responsible for providing 80-85% of your bra’s support. If your band is too tight, you either need a bigger band, a bigger cup size, or both. If your bra band is too big, you likely need a smaller band size, a fresh bra in the same size, or a different bra style or fabrication.

In a perfectly fitting bra, the bra band is snug, but not uncomfortable and remains fitted and parallel to the floor throughout the day. When you raise your arms, it should stay in place. Ideally, it should be so comfortable and supportive that you forget that you’re even wearing a bra.

Related: How Tight Should Your Bra Band Be?

Your breast tissue is either spilling over your cups or your cups are gapping

These are two very different problems. On one hand, your bra cups may be too small, which is causing your breast tissue to spill over the top and out the sides. On the other hand, your bra cups may be too big (or it could be a style that doesn’t work for your breast shape), which explains why the bra cups have space or gap in certain places.

Ideally, your breast tissue should be contained within the underwire and completely fill the cups. If your bra cups aren’t fitting you perfectly, it’s time to go shopping for new bras.

Your bra straps dig into your skin or fall off your shoulders

Two of the most common bra fit complaints we hear are bra straps digging into the skin and leaving marks and bra straps falling off shoulders. Of course, these are two more very different issues. You might be fighting with an ill-fitting bra and over tightening the straps to compensate for the lack of support. Very little support comes from the straps, so tightening them will only cause the bra band to move up your back and your neck and shoulders to hurt. To fix this, choose a bra with a supportive band in a sturdy fabric, like power mesh, with multiple hooks in the back. Don’t be afraid to go down in the band size and up in the cup size (also known as your bra sister size) to get the perfect fit. Once you’re wearing a bra in the right band size, you’ll find that you don’t need to over tighten your straps. Instead, being able to fit a finger or two between your skin and the straps will be more than sufficient and won’t cause the band to move up too.

If your bra straps are falling off your shoulders, we recommend the same solution – try a band size smaller first and see if that fixes the problem. Often a bra band in the wrong size is to blame for poorly fitting straps.

If bra fitting was easy, every woman would be wearing the right bra and we’d never have to worry about these common bra fit issues. Unfortunately, most women wear the wrong bra size and suffer as a result. We truly believe that every woman deserves beautiful lingerie that fits well and feels amazing, so we hope this guide helps you find the perfect fit!

Wendy Unlined Wire Bra P5412 | Wendy Hipster P5415 in Black

Which bra do you choose when you want to accentuate your cleavage and make your boobs look bigger and more lifted than they are? A push-up bra, of course! If plunge bras aren’t your thing, push-up bras are the natural go-to when it comes to lifting and enhancing the bust. With a push-up bra, you can customize the amount of lift you need through strategically placed padding. You can even insert a silicone pad or “chicken cutlet” if it’s still not enough for you!

Contrary to popular belief, women who wear bra cup sizes from A to F choose to wear push-up bras – it’s not only women with small busts who seek out this gravity-defying style. Women with larger cup sizes love the lift and shaping that they get from a push-up bra. It’s a fit you just can’t get from an unlined wire bra or bralette.

No matter what bra size you wear, a proper fitting bra can accentuate your bust and show off your the waist by making your body appear more proportional and hourglass in the process. Often, your clothes will fit better if you’re wearing the right bra size. Which makes sense when you think about how clothing is constructed!

Shopping for the best push-up bra? We’ve got you covered. In no particular order, here are three of our most favorite push-up bras:

Lynn Push-Up Strapless Bra

Lynn Push-Up Strapless Bra P13112 | Lynn Brazilian Thong P13014 in Black

Looking for a strapless bra that has the added benefit of push-up padding? You’ll love the Lynn Push-Up Strapless Bra. You might worry about losing some of the lift when opting for a bra without strapless. Don’t worry, the fit of the Lynn Push-Up Strapless more than makes up for it. This microfiber style is a minimalist’s dream – it features seamless molded cups for a smooth shape under clothing, a supportive band, padding for enhanced cleavage, and the option of wearing it without or without straps. Available in nude and black, this is the perfect bra to pack for a weekend trip or vacation.

Lynn Super Boost Bra

Lynn Super Push-Up Bra P13021 | Lynn Brazilian Thong P13014 in Black

If you want a more va-va-voom look, the Lynn Super Push-Up Bra will be your new favorite. Its plunging design works with a variety of necklines – including v-neck and low cut necklines. The Lynn Super Boost Bra is constructed in smooth microfiber, so you can wear it under even the most fitted dresses. Best of all, the super padded cups of the Lynn Super Push-Up Bra are designed to increase the bustline by approx. 1-1.5 inches, which may, in turn, increase your bra size 1-2 cup sizes. Available in black and nude, this is an excellent bra for a special occasion and it’s comfortable enough to wear every day if you choose.

Matilda Push-Up Bra

Pretty lace details, comfortable padded cups, and a sexy push-up design – what’s not to love about the Matilda Push-Up Bra? If push-up bras are your style of choice, this supportive style is a beautiful option for everyday wear. Its seamless contour cups look almost invisible under clothing, so you can pair it with your favorite t-shirt or dress without worrying about it showing through. The flattering demi cups offer the perfect amount of lift and shape for a perky shape. Available in black and nude, the Matilda Push-Up Bra is one style you won’t want to miss.

So what are the best push-up bras? We’d count the Lynn Push-Up Strapless Bra, Lynn Super Boost Bra, and Matilda Push-Up Bra for a variety of reasons. Of course, the choice is up to you. No matter which push-up bra you choose, you’re sure to get a beautiful lifted shape that flatters your accentuates your bust in the best possible way.

A supportive bra can be hard to find. Fortunately, we’ve created a guide to help you shop for supportive bras. Read on for everything you need to know!

A bra fitting is key

Bra fittings are an important part of bra shopping. Before buying new bras, we always recommend getting a bra fitting first. A bra fitter can solve many (if not all) of the most common bra fit issues and hand pick bras for you to try on. Getting help from a bra fitter makes sense if you’re struggling with finding supportive bras. They’re trained to determine your bra size and help you find bras that suit and flatter your breast shape.

It’s recommended to get a bra fitting every six months, especially if you only go bra shopping once or twice a year. You’ll also need a bra fitting if your weight has changed as a change in weight can lead to a change in your bra size. We also suggest getting a bra fitting if you’ve recently become pregnant or had a baby (congrats!) as your bra size and bra style needs (hello wireless bras and bralettes!) can change with these life events too. Of course, birth control and menopause may affect your bra size as well as your period, though we don’t recommend getting a bra fitting during the menstruation phase of your cycle as the water retention in your breasts can alter your breast size temporarily (often by increasing it).

Get to know the different bra styles

Now that you know your bra size, ask yourself what exactly you’re looking for in a bra. Do you want a bra that centers and separates your breast tissue without adding any bulk? Are you looking for a t-shirt bra with a little padding that will lift your bust? What about a supportive strapless bra that stays in place all day long? From unlined wire bras to push-up bras and plunge bras to strapless bras, we’ve seen all of these bra styles at one point or another. But the best bra for you will depend on your breast shape, breast root, bra size, fit preferences, style aesthetic, budget, and purpose, of course.

Maybe you’ve been wearing the wrong bra size or wrong bra style all along. Now’s your chance to find the bra that fits the way you want it to. This could be a padded bra, a wireless bra, a bralette, an unpadded bra – the options are truly endless. By getting to know the different bra styles (and trying them on), you’ll have a better idea of what does and doesn’t work on your body. And with a bra fitter by your side, you’ll have an expert opinion on what you should buy and what should go back on the rack.

Shop in store whenever you can

For most women, bra shopping is a lot of trial and error. With your bra size being more of a guide than a set number, you never know if a bra will fit when it’s on the hanger. When it comes to online shopping, you can’t try before you buy. We always recommend shopping at a local lingerie boutique for new bras and only reserving online shopping for brands that you’re already very familiar with. No one likes the hassle of returning things that don’t fit. Save yourself the time and extra effort and let a bra fitter at a local lingerie store take care of bra fitting and bra shopping for you. You can thank us later!

Looking for a bra that will keep you comfortable while you’re at work? A t-shirt bra might be just what you need.

When you’re at work, you don’t want your bra on display. Full coverage t-shirt bras are a great option for the work week. Their smooth, seamless cups will keep you supported and comfortable throughout the day. Plus, they’re designed to lay flat under your work outfits, so the focus will always be on you and not your bra.

We love full coverage t-shirt bras, wireless t-shirt bras, and racerback t-shirt bras for work. Read on for our top picks.

Full coverage t-shirt bras

Looking for a more modest bra for your work outfits? Opt for a full coverage bra. The full coverage cups provide hidden coverage, comfort, lift, and support for all bra sizes.

Here are our favorite full coverage t-shirt bras:

Aline T-Shirt Bra

Aline T-Shirt Bra P5251 | Aline Bikini P5253 in Black

The Aline T-Shirt Bra is a great bra to wear to work. The microfiber fabrication feels cool and silky to the touch while the band stretches just enough to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. The adjustable straps are cut wider to provide comfort for your shoulders. Plus, the all-over subtly striped jacquard fabric is so chic and pretty that you’ll want to wear this bra on the weekend too.

Jeanie T-Shirt Bra

Jeanie T-Shirt Bra 4812 | Jeanie High Cut Brief 4803 in Nude

The Jeanie T-Shirt Bra offers a beautiful fit under clothing. The smooth molded cups of this classic t-shirt bra are completely opaque and thick enough to prevent anything from showing through. The overall fit feels secure and the bandless style makes this an ultra-comfortable option for those days that go beyond 9-5.

Lydie Contour Padded Bra

Lydie Contour Padded Bra P5441 | Lydie Bikini P5443 in Black

The Lydie Contour Padded Bra features microfiber cups lined in foam for a flattering rounded shape. This is an excellent bra to wear under t-shirts, button down shirts, and fitted tops and dresses in general. We especially love the addition of the geometric patterned lace along the center front and wings and the snug, supportive fit of the bra band.

Lynn T-Shirt Bra

Lynn T-Shirt Bra P13011 | Lynn Brazilian Thong P13014 in Nude

Searching for a sleek t-shirt bra without push-up padding? The Lynn T-Shirt Bra will be your new favorite. This chic style features seamless molded cups, thin straps, and a bandless fit. The tiny bow at center front is the only delicate detail you’ll find on this perfectly minimalistic style.

Marion Contour Padded Bra

Marion Contour Padded Bra P5391 | Marion Hipster P5395 in Lapis Blue

The Marion Contour Padded Bra is a glamorous and versatile t-shirt bra with beautiful lace details. The cups – constructed out of microfiber – are completely seamless and unadorned while the two-tone lace band and jewel with bow at center front add beautiful detail. Available in lapiz blue, tango red, pink parfait, and black – why not add a secret pop of color to your work wardrobe?

Wireless T-Shirt Bras

No one ever said you had to wear wired bras to work. Most women choose them because they prefer the support, breast separation, and rounded shape that they provide, but you can get an amazing fit from a wireless t-shirt bra too.

Here are a few wireless t-shirt bras you’ll want to check out:  

Aline Wire-Free Padded Bra

Aline Wire-Free Padded Bra P5252 | Aline Bikini P5253 in Nude

Made of the same subtly striped jacquard as the Aline T-Shirt Bra, the Aline Wire-Free Padded Bra offers a full coverage fit without underwire. The overall feel of the bra is sleek and comfortable for all-day wear. The bra gets the majority of its support from its wide band with a multi-hook and eye closure – making this a supportive choice for large cup sizes.

Emma Wire-Free Bra

Emma Wire-Free Soft Padded Bra P5491 | Emma Hipster P5495 in Black

Simple, minimal, and fuss-free – what more could you want from an everyday bra? We love the plunging fit and smooth cups of the Emma Wire-Free Soft Padded Bra. This bra also transitions beautifully from day to night – no need to change your bra for your after-work plans!

Related: Where To Buy Wireless Bras

Racerback T-Shirt Bras

Surprised racerback bras made the list? Don’t be! Racerback bras make great work bras. They’re also ideal for women with narrow shoulders as the construction of the bra is guaranteed to keep straps on your shoulders. Front closure bras are also a good option for women with limited mobility. No need to reach around or pull the bra up your back to get it secured. The front closure can be snapped or hooked from the front – and it’s often easier to hook than a back hook and eye closure.

Here are two racerback t-shirt bras you’ll love: 

Lynn Y-Back Front Closure Bra

Lynn Y-Back Front Closure Bra P13122 | Lynn Brazilian Thong P13014 in Nude

The Lynn Y-Back Front Closure Bra is a no-fuss style with molded microfiber cups, a plunging fit, a front closure, and delicate straps. The thin straps of the Lynn Y-Back Front Closure Bra are inconspicuous under clothing and stay in place on your shoulders the entire time you wear it. With its supportive and comfortable fit, you’ll find yourself reaching for this bra all year long.

Matilda Padded Racerback Bra

Matilda Padded Racerback Bra P53113 | Matilda Hipster P5315 in Black

The Matilda Padded Racerback Bra is a beautiful contour bra with lightly padded cups and a racerback silhouette. The lace details are the perfect complement to this chic style. We love the support fit, plunging design, and angled cups that flatter a multitude of breast shapes.

Does your bra band roll up throughout the day? This is one of the most common bra fit complaints we hear. Often, a rolling band can be fixed by changing by the bra size, but sometimes a different style is needed to truly fix the problem.

If you’re suffering with a bra that rides up, rolls up, or moves up and out of place, we’re here to help. Read on for our top tips for finding a bra that will stay in place and provide the support you’ve been searching for.

1.  Opt for a smaller band size

Does your bra band ride up your back? A smaller band size could fix this common bra fit problem. Your bra band provides 80-85% of your bra’s support. You can’t rely on your bra’s cups or straps for support. Without a snug bra band, your bra will inevitably move around throughout the day – and you’ll find yourself frequently adjusting it.

Most women wear the wrong band size (often a size or two bigger than they should), which contributes to the overall fit of the bra. If you’re spending your hard-earned money on bras every few months, you want dependable bras that fit well and feel amazing.

One solution for a bra band that rolls up is changing the band size. Opting for a bra in a smaller band size – and going up a cup size – can put you on the right track to getting the perfect fit. Remember: your bra size is a guide, not a set number. Don’t be afraid to bring a bunch of bras into the fitting or visit your local lingerie boutique for a bra fitting if you need help. No one should ever settle for ill-fitting lingerie. You deserve better!

2.  Look for a bra that has boning in the band

Ever wonder why your bra has plastic boning in the band? Its purpose is to keep the bra from rolling up. Plastic boning helps to stabilize the band and provides sturdy support for larger cup sizes – this is why you’ll often find plastic boning in D+ bras.

Strapless bras with plastic boning are the best choice for large busts. The Elissa Strapless Bra and Elissa Low-Back Bustier offer support, shaping, and stability for all bust sizes. We love the seamless moulded cups and sturdy, lined band of the Elissa Strapless Bra. With its supportive fit and microfiber fabrication, the Elissa Low Back Bustier nips in the waist and slims and shapes the tummy and torso – effectively eliminating any need for shapewear.

3.  Choose a different style

Sometimes changing the bra size only solves part of the problem. If this is the case, you may want to try a different style too. For women who have issues with their bra band rolling up, a bandless bra may be just what you need. With banded bras, like the Charlotte Padded Bra, there is extra fabric underneath the cups. A bandless style, on the other hand, like the Tess T-Shirt Bra, consists of the center panel, cups, and wings of the bra – there isn’t any fabric below the cups’ wire channel. Bandless styles are great choices for plus size and full figure busts. Bandless bras won’t dig into your chest, sides, or back. Plus, they typically feel lighter and fit just as well as banded styles.

Push-up bras have long been known for their sexy fit. While the bust-enhancing fit may seem magical, the secret lies in their ingenious construction. The low center front and angled cups are designed to push breast tissue to the center of the bra. Strategically placed padding in the cups lifts breast tissue up for a fuller, rounder look. A snug, supportive band is the backbone of the bra – providing the perfect base for a stellar fit. Adjustable straps help to keep the cups in place while a multiple hook and eye closure allows the wearer to customize the fit. Their gravity-defying fit is a favorite among those with saggy, wide set, or pendulous breasts, as a good push-up bra can create a more lifted and symmetrical breast shape.

Some women choose to wear push-up bras every day while others reserve them for a date or special outfit. We love that push-up bras work well with a number of outfits and are actually easier to shop for then they might seem.

Searching for a supportive push-up bra? Read on for everything you need to know in our guide below.

Focus on the fit first

The secret to the perfect push-up bra? An impeccable fit. If you’re unsure of your bra size or if you haven’t had a bra fitting in six months or more, it’s best to start your shopping trip with a bra fitting at your local lingerie boutique. After all, an ill-fitting push-up bra won’t do you any favors. Getting the right size and style for your breast shape is key to finding a new favorite push-up bra.

Choose the right style

From microfiber push-up bras to push-up bras with intricate embroidery and lace – there’s a push-up bra out there for every style. Looking for a push-up bra that you can wear every day? Opt for a t-shirt style with seamless molded cups that’s virtually undetectable under clothing. Searching for a sexier option that you can pair with a matching panty? Push-up bras with luxurious satin fabrics, lace details, and embroidered cups definitely fit the bill.

Don’t be afraid to try a bold color (red is beautiful for the holidays and can also be worn for Valentine’s Day and year-round) or a stunning lingerie set that makes you feel like a queen (complete with bra, panty, garter belt, stockings, and a robe to drink champagne in, of course!) With so many beautiful styles on the market, you’re sure to find one you’ll love.

Customize the padding

Though most push-up bras have pre-formed foam padding, there are other push-up bras with pockets for removable push-up pad inserts, or “cookies”. With these bras, you can swap out the pads for thicker or fuller ones for even more cleavage. If you’re looking for an easier option, opt for a bra with extra padding, like the Lynn Super Push-Up Bra, which is designed to increase the bust size by one to two cup sizes.

Do the scoop and swoop

Now that you’ve determined your bra size and found a few great styles, you’re ready for the most important step. To get the most out of your push-up bras, be sure to scoop all of your breast tissue into the cups. If you choose a push-up bra with underwire, the wire should be encapsulating your breast tissue completely and not resting on your breasts. You’ll get a much better fit if all of your tissue is within the bra cups. Also, check to make sure band is snug, but not uncomfortable. You’ll want to start the new bra on the loosest hook and move it toward the middle as you wear it.

From the dress to the reception to the after party, every moment of your wedding day is meticulously planned. But what about your lingerie? You might be so busy running around making sure all of the little details are up to your standards and forget about one of the best parts of your entire look. Your lingerie is the foundation for your wedding dress.

Needless to say, the lingerie you choose can make or break your entire look. No bride wants to spend her day adjusting her undergarments or worrying if her bra is visible in pictures. The right foundations can help your wedding dress fit you the way you’ve envisioned, support your bust and give you the lift you want, and provide that extra confidence boost that comes from wearing beautiful lingerie that feels good and fits amazing.

So what lingerie should you wear under your wedding dress? Read on for everything you need to know.

A strapless bra

Strapless bras are the ultimate multi-taskers. They work exceptionally well under strapless wedding dresses, one shoulder wedding dresses, and halter wedding dresses. Look for a strapless bra with a wide elastic band, side boning to keep the bra in place, and smooth moulded cups for a seamless look under your dress – like the Elissa Strapless Bra. To get the perfect fit, make sure the band fits snug but not uncomfortable. The band should also be parallel to the floor and on the loosest hook.

When choosing a strapless bra, opt for a wide band with multiple hooks to help keep it in place. The cups are important too – make sure your breast tissue is completely contained within the cups. Remember: the underwire should be encapsulating your breast tissue without spillage over the tops, sides, or bottom of the cups and band.

A longline bustier

Looking for a sexy piece that will slim your waist, smooth out your tummy, and provide the perfect foundation for your wedding dress? A longline bustier is just what you need. With its longer length, low-cut back, and microfiber molded cups, the Elissa Low Back Bustier works with a number of silhouettes – from backless to strapless dresses and halter to one-shoulder dresses. The demi cups offer a smooth, rounded look and provide just the right amount of lift and support for a beautiful shape.

With a longline bustier, you won’t have to worry about adjusting or fussing with your bra throughout the day. The full coverage design of a longline bustier – often stopping at the waist or just above the hip – effectively slims the torso and keeps the cups and body of the bustier in place. A favorite among brides everywhere, we suggest opting for the Elissa Low Back Bustier as an alternative to shapewear. Pair with the matching Elissa Bikini and you’ll have a stunning set to wear under your wedding dress.

A pretty lingerie set in something blue

If you’re unsure what to choose for your “something blue”, why not opt for an unforgettable lingerie set in a beautiful shade of blue? We love a pretty plunge bra or unlined bra in a light blue, teal, or turquoise. Ivory seems to top the chart for wedding lingerie, but blue is a great choice if you’re looking for something a little different. Plus, you’ll be able to wear and treasure your beautiful blue set for years to come. How wonderful is that?

Go braless

You might fall in love with a wedding dress that doesn’t work with any bra. Plunging necklines and exceptionally low backs are two popular styles that make it difficult to find the perfect bra. If that’s the case, you have a few options. You can ask your seamstress to sew foam pads into the bustline for light shaping, you could try an adhesive bra or “sticky bra” or pasties, or you could go braless. No matter what you choose, pick the option that you look and feel your best in. And then treat yourself to a few truly beautiful lingerie pieces for your wedding night and honeymoon!
