T-Shirt Bras for Every Shape

Pick the right style to look sleek under fitted clothing―and get the lift you need.

If You Have a Full Bust

Pick a bra with rigid cups, rather than a minimizer, which can make you look heavier. Turn sideways and look in a mirror. Your nipples should be halfway between your shoulder and your elbow. “If not, the bra isn’t supportive enough,” says Linda Becker, owner of Linda’s Bra Salon, in New York City.

To try: Take heart, double-Ds. “Matronly” isn’t your only option. This streamlined wonder serves up ample support with sturdy cups and a wide band, all while boasting feminine details, like slim straps and a low cut. In sizes 30 to 38, D to G. Also in nude and white.
