Which Padded Bra Is Best For Me?
Believe it or not, everyone can wear a padded bra. Yes, you read that right. Everyone. Who says you can't? because we would like to speak to them and show them the facts! Here at Belle Lingerie, we have an amazing range of padded bras for every shape, style and occasion you might have. We just need to point out, that padded does not mean push up! Push up bras are something completely different! (That will be in a whole different blog for you!) Padded bras mean there is padding lined between the cups. They're not just for small-busted ladies! So let's set the record straight, and show you that whether you're a 28D or a 40DD, there is a padded bra for everyone. We got you ladies, now, let's find out which is best for you!
The Styles
Padded bra's come in various different styles, from balconette to plunge, there is a style to suit everyone. Padded bras are perfect for giving you a natural shape, the best coverage and helping to enhance your gorgeous curves. Wanting that lift in both your cups and confidence? Then padded bras will be your best friend! So let's take a look and see which style will be the newest edition to your underwear drawer (remember you always need a good black, nude and white everyday bra in there! Treat yourself, it's Friday after all!)
Plunge
Plunging necklines weren't for the faint-hearted, but now they're not to be feared. In fact, they're to be celebrated. Show off your cleavage and make a statement in any plunging neckline outfit this summer and team it with a padded plunge bra. The perfect combo if you ask us.
Now, smooth bras are ideal for under your everyday clothes, the Panache 365 T Shirt Bra or Gossard Superboost Lace Padded T Shirt Bra will provide you with great coverage but have that smoothing effect for under your clothes, especially if they're form-fitting!
However, if you're in the mood for something a little more feminine, why not check out Fantasie Fusion Lace Padded Plunge Bra, adorned with lace with a low plunge neckline, this bra is a show stopper (don't forget the matching panties to complete the set!) Or take a look at the Gossard Superboost Lace Plunge Bra, with its glamorous lace design, it is sure to give you that boost of confidence.
Balconette
We all know by now that balconette bras are perfect for that sweetheart neckline, the appearance of a fuller cup and are a flattering fit for all ladies. The Marie Jo Avero Padded Balcony Bra is no exception. The popular balcony style offers a gorgeous cleavage whilst still allowing for modesty, the pre-formed cups are padded and underwired for excellent boost and uplift. Similarly, the Marie Jo Louie Padded Balcony Bra has a classic balcony style with super smooth and soft fabric. Ideal for the small-medium bust ladies, this bra will have you feeling confident and comfy! (don't take our word for it! Try it out and see!)
If you've got a bigger bust, but still want that secure, padded feel, why not check out the Curvy Kate Boost Me Up Padded Balcony Bra or the Panache Porcelain Elan T Shirt Bra. Both have smooth cups and are great as an alternative to basic t-shirt bras!
T-shirt
As we have already established, the classic T-shirt bra is a staple must-have. Make sure you have the perfect fit and you're good to go. Check out our fitting guide to double-check your size and remember your size can fluctuate all the time (completely normal!).
