Tailoring your bra to your outfit is an unconscious practice as old as lingerie itself.
From strapless styles, to stick on bras and even the right lacey bralette for all your sheer garments, finding the perfect bra can make or break your ensemble.
Whether it be for a plunging neckline or slightly gaping blouse, every so often we need a little extra oomph that can only be achieved through a push-up bra.
Designed to lift the bust and often increase the appearance of size, you’d be forgiven for considering the push-up bra a contraption designed purely for the male-gaze. And while, that still rings true in part, for many women finding a great push-up bra is all about the way it makes them feel in what they’re wearing.
If you’re after a little extra lift and support you may want to opt instead for a padded bra, which still features extra cushioning and lining but in less dramatic volume.
