Lift. Shape. Cover. Smooth. Support. Side support bras do it all.
This category is all about multipart seamed cups designed bring your chest up and out from under your arms, creating a flattering and shapely silhouette that's noticeable uplifted. Typically with three or four sections comprising the cup, the rule of thumb here is that the more sections there are, the more support you get.
Side support bras are perfect for large breasts that are wide-set or East-West, as well as for curvy figures. Since they're unlined, these types of bras won’t add volume while still lifting and shaping.
This week, we asked our buyers which side support bras are their favorites so they can become yours, too. Check out our top 10 best side support bras:
Bare The Side Support Bra
One of our newest launched under the Bare label, exclusive to Bare Necessities, is the side support style (shown above). With its smooth, modern design, we placed side seams to lift your chest in and up, keeping everything contained but airy thanks to mesh in the cups. Bands 30-40 and cups D-H
Camio Mio Lace Unlined Side Support Bra
Among the most popular Camio Mio styles, this gorgeously supportive seamed style uses four pieces of comfortable, feminine lace (you'll remember that more seams makes for more lift). Bands 30-40 and cups B-H
Camio Mio Unlined Side Support Bra
Made with curvy sizes in mind, this four-part side-support bra has mesh on the bottom for stellar lift and shaping, with pretty lace accents to keep you contained. Made of microfiber and tulle, it contains power mesh wings for unmatched smoothing. Bands 30-40 and cups D-I
Panache Envy Side Support Balconette Bra
A sexy spin on side support is this demi-cup balcony bra, with supportive side slings tucked into the unlined 4-part cups. Lace-topped cups are good to look out for, as they stretch to fit each breast individually (smart if your breasts are slightly different sizes). Bands 28-40 and cups D-K (UK sizing)
Panache Ana Side Support Plunge Bra
The divine strech lace and microfiber Ana really couldn't be more comfortable. Three-part seames underwire cups shape and lift; inner slings help redirect breasts. Bands 28-38 and cups DD-J (UK sizing)

Elomi Lucie Side Support Bra
From the printed fabric to the stretch lace, the floral motif adorns three-part unlined cups plus a side support panel. The only thing more beautiful than this bra is the silhouette it creates. Bands 32-44 and cups DD-JJ (UK sizing)
