Fashion
Whether you're wearing a fancy dress or your favorite T-shirt, sometimes you just want a little lift. Here's the good news: The best push-up bras give you that lift without pinching, pulling, or any discomfort whatsoever.
To find the right fit, though, it's important to consider your personal style preferences. A lot of traditional push-up bras feature full-coverage cups and vertical straps, but if you know you'd like a strapless option, you may want to opt for a bra with silicone adhesive that can hold you in place without the straps. On the other hand, if you know you'll be rocking casualwear, you might want to go straight for a push-up bra with super smooth lines that you can wear under a T-shirt.
It's also important to consider your overall comfort. While underwire push-up bras offer tons of support and even a bit more lift, they can get uncomfortable if you're wearing them all day. For extra comfort, be on the lookout for a completely seamless option or focus on material, for example a soft, flexible microfiber bra.
When it comes down to it, there are so many options for amazing push-up bras on the market. Here's a round-up of some of the best bras that hit all the right marks to help you narrow down your options.
1
An Everyday Bra That Looks Great Under A T-Shirt
This standard push-up bra is made from a blend of nylon and elastane, which is a flexible, breathable fabric that's ultra comfortable and smooth. (Read: No bumps under your T-shirt.) The underwire itself can also be adjusted by sliding it toward the center until it feels supportive without pinching your skin. Plus, the band stretches and moves with you throughout the day, and the multiple hook closures ensure you find the perfect fit every time. Reviewers love this bra for just about everything — fit, comfort, quality, and style.
What fans say: "LOVE IT!!! do yourself a favor and get this bra it's such great quality and I've had it for 6 months and it still in perfect condition."
- Sizes Available: 32A - 38DD

An Underwire Option With Extra Lift
If you're looking for a bra with lots of extra oomph, this underwire push-up bra does the trick. What's great about the underwire in this bra is that it's surrounded by "cloud foam" cups, which are just as soft and luxurious as they sound. They gently mold to your skin while still offering a ton of lift. On top of that, the fabric is made from a unique nylon blend that feels like suede to the touch, so this bra is extremely comfortable all around. Best yet, it comes in 30 different colors and styles.
What fans say: "The name of this bra tells no lies. I have worn it on a date, on a hike, during a 10-hour workday, and through a cross-country flight with a stopover where I napped on the hall floor of a rinkydink airport because that was where the outlet was. Never once have I needed or wanted to take it off."
- Sizes Available: 32B - 42D

A Microfiber Option That's Super Soft
This microfiber push-up bra is so buttery soft that you won't want to take it off. Not only does it have extra cushion in the cups to offer a full-coverage lift, but it's machine-washable and super easy to care for. The microfiber will feel soft against your skin even if you have it on all day, and reviewers love how easy it is to adjust this bra for a flawless fit.
What fans say: "[T]he cups are very comfortable and the straps are super easy to adjust. I was pretty surprised to see that this is a wireless bra because it gives so much support. The added padding in the cups give a nice lift."

A Seamless Bra With An Extra Deep Plunge
Without a single seam in sight, you can wear this deep-plunge bra under almost any outfit and still get plenty of lift from the contoured foam cups. It also features a low-cut profile so it's pretty much invisible under deep V-neck tops or low neckline dresses. And with a wide band under the cups and fully-adjustable straps, it's also easy to fit this perfectly to your body so it won't ride up.
What fans say: "I never ever thought I would get so excited about wearing a bra! For not having an underwire, this bra is extremely supportive and very well made. Being an 'A' cup, I appreciate a bra that gives support (while not overdoing it)."
- Sizes Available: 30A - 38C
5
A Strapless Option That Won't Budge
This strapless push-up bra promises to stay in place while still giving you some extra support. The key is in the silicone lining — it adheres to the top underside of the cups to hold without straps. But if you do decide you want some straps, this bra also comes with a detachable set that you can take on and off. It even features breathable, mesh panels at the sides to keep you cool and comfortable. Reviewers agree that this bra is going nowhere, no matter how long you wear it.
What fans say: "It gives "the ladies" just the right amount of support without squishing them. It is so comfortable that honestly, I forgot I was wearing a strapless bra after a bit. Also, it stays in place- all day- not slipping or tugging."
- Sizes Available: 32B - 42F

An Adhesive Bra That You Can Actually Reuse
If you're looking for a nearly invisible option, this adhesive push-up bra literally sticks to you while staying out of sight. The bra itself is made from soft, natural silicone that won't irritate your skin. The underside of the cups also feature a gentle adhesive that keeps this bra in place, and the back is clear so you can wear it with open-backed shirts or dresses. Plus, the shape of this bra, when combined with the adhesive, gives you major lift even without the straps. Bonus: You can wash and wear this bra over and over and the stickiness still comes back.
What fans say: "[T]his WORKS! It comes in an amazing storage bag for when it's not in use and instructions on how to apply. Let me tell you, this bad boy is STICKY!! Once it's on there it's not going anywhere! Washing it is super easy and the [stickiness] comes back as soon as it air dries! Like magic!"
- Sizes Available: B - D

A Long-Line Bra That Adds Two Cup Sizes
Not only is this long-line bra super stylish, but it also adds up to two cup sizes when you slip it on. The combination of the extra-deep plunge, adjustable straps, and tied front make for extreme push-up power. The cups themselves are padded for extra support and featured seamless, smooth lines so you can wear this bra under any top. You can also remove the straps for even more style options. Fans insist this is one of the best bras on the market — period. And, while the bold stripes of this print might not work under every outfit, it comes in nine different colors including neutrals and other prints so you can have your pick.
What fans say: "Loved it. Fits amazing and super comfortable. The straps can be removed, the drawstring can be adjusted how much cleavage would you like to create. Looks even better than most expensive bras."
