10 Best Push-Up Bras, Tested & Reviewed by Glamour Editors 2024

Sure, push-up bras are best known for their cleavage-boosting abilities, but there are plenty of other reasons to add them to your closet. These versatile bras give a smooth natural shape under tank tops and T-shirts, help lift and support bigger busts, and make plunging necklines in your summer dresses really pop. There are many styles to shop: ones with structured underwire and cushioning that create a filled-out illusion; flexible, wire-free bras that provide just the right amount of elevation; and bralettes soft enough for everyday wear. To help you find the best ones, Glamour editors tested dozens of bras for their comfort, fit, and effectiveness. Below, you’ll find answers to commonly-asked questions about push-up bras, as well as our favorites, including convertible strapless bras that stay put, comfy wireless bras, and thoughtfully-designed bras for big boobs.
