Sometimes we are just after a little lift from our bras. Sure comfort is key, but that added oomph can do wonders to highlight the curves and flaunt what you have.
But finding the perfect push-up bra is no easy task. Too tight will have you squirming in discomfort and too loose just doesn’t do its intended job.
Which is why we are here to help you find your holy grail push-up.
How to find the perfect push-up bra
There are a couple of key pointers to keep in mind on the search for your push-up bra:
Ensure you are going for the right size bra. If in doubt, get fitted. However, don’t size down in order to boost your lift, this will just cause discomfort and dig in in all the wrong places.
Consider what amount of lift you are after. Different bras have different levels of lift and you want to ensure you’re getting the wear out of them and they’re living up to what you expected.
Make sure the silhouette of the bra fits into your wardrobe and what you plan to wear it with. You’re unlikely to wear your push-up with every outfit so double check the shape and silhouette to ensure it can’t be seen under the dresses or tops you want to style with it.
