You’ve tried on all your bras (plus an adhesive bra and even going without one), but nothing feels right. You’re not sure if you can work with the bras you have or if you’ll need to buy a new one for your outfit. Sound familiar? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

In this series, we’re tackling your lingerie questions and sharing the best bras to wear for every occasion.

Next up: bras that provide the perfect amount of lift. If you’ve ever wondered “What’s the best bra for lift?”, this guide is for you. We’re covering the top bras for a lifted and centered look.

Here are our favorites:

Best Padded Demi Bra for Lift

Charlotte Padded Bra

Demi bras are a universally-flattering style that offers a lot of lift for many breast shapes. The cups are positioned to lift breast tissue up and keep it there. They can make asymmetrical breasts look more symmetrical and pendulous breasts look more evenly full.

As a modern demi bra with a vintage-inspired feel, the Charlotte Padded Bra is a total knockout. The three-part cups create a lifted and centered shape without any padding needed. The firm fit of the power mesh band enhances the fit overall and ensures that the bra will stay in place.

Best Unlined Demi Bra for Lift

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need padding for a lifted look! A bra with three-part or four-part cups is already designed to lift, center, and shape your bust – no padding needed. If you’re worried about adding bulk, a cut and sew bra is an excellent solution. You won’t have to stress about your bra size looking bigger than it is and you’ll get the shaping benefits and supportive of a well-made multi-part cup bra. We have a few favorites, including the Marion Unlined Wire Bra, Briana Unlined Wire Bra, and Sandrine Unlined Wire Bra.

Best Push-Up Bra for Lift

Matilda Push Up Bra

Push-up bras are a natural choice for a lifted shape. This popular style is characterized by strategic padding within the cups. Though the amount and placement of the padding may vary (some push-up bras even have removable pads!), push-up bras are all designed to lift and center breast tissue.

If you’re looking for a push up bra with seamless cups that won’t show through your tops, you’ll love the Matilda Push-Up Bra. This supportive style creates a rounded shape while lifting breast tissue for maximum cleavage. Plus, the stretch lace details and smooth microfiber fabrication feel comfortable all day long.

Best Super Push-Up Bra for Lift

If gravity-defying cleavage is your goal, check out the Lynn Super Push-Up Bra. This heavily padded style is designed to increase your bra size by 1 to 2 cup sizes. Constructed with a wide range of cup sizes in mind, the padding creates a lifted yet natural look. It’s perfect for filling out tops and dresses that may be too large in the bust or for trying out a new look for a girls night out. For small busted people who have ever wondered what it would be like to have a larger bust, this is a great option for you. And if you wear a DD bra and want a larger bust, this is a solid choice for you too.
