The best bras for big busts are more than a foundational layer. Since they're usually worn every day, morning to night, the top versions possess a rare balance of comfort, support, and style. Between new lingerie brands entering the market and tried-and-true favorites improving their size ranges, that trifecta is easier to find than ever before in bras for larger sizes.

Whether you’re looking for a high-impact sports bra, a smoothing minimizer bra, or a strapless bra that actually stays put, we have the expert-recommended and reviewer-vetted bras that lift and support large breasts. But where to start your search? “Swap out the frills and excess to focus on simple, modern, and timeless materials that you need and want for everyday,” CUUP director of fit Tania Garcia says. High-performance details like power mesh, memory foam, and padded underwires will gently lift and shape your chest; three-part and five-part cups are also key for a supportive, wear-all-day-fit in sizes DD and above.

“The more comfortable the bra, the more supported, confident, and sexy you will feel,” Garcia adds. Whether you’re getting dressed for a special occasion or just to lounge on the couch, there’s a soft bralette, sheer balconette, or everyday T-shirt bra that’s comfortable and high quality. Ahead, shop the 22 best bras for big busts, from CUUP to ThirdLove and beyond.

Cup sizes: A–H

Customer review: "My chest runs on the larger [side] and finding a bra that is comfortable can be a challenge. When I put the bra on I could barely tell I was wearing anything plus the cups covered my breast appropriately and fit in the middle as it should, against my chest and not puckered out. This may be one of the best fit bras I've tried from Savage."

The best bra shape for large busts is not the same at every size. Instead, it depends on the support and effect you're looking for, combined with the natural shape of your bust. If your breasts are wider-set, a plunge bra may be better for you. If you want a lifting and separating effect, try a balconette bra. Each of our top picks above specifies the cut and shape of the bra and how it typically fits.

Lingerie and bra experts agree: Underwire bras are usually recommended for people with large busts. These designs have better support and lifting properties versus wireless styles. But underwire bras aren't uncomfortable like they used to be: Many of the best large bras for large breasts are now made with covert padding along the underwire to avoid pinching or digging.
