Push-Up Bras

A push-up bra does exactly that: it pushes you up. Push-ups are built with a specially angled padding that lifts and pushes your breasts together and up—to create cleavage and achieve the perfect lift and rounded shape. Push-up support is available in multiple SKIMS bra silhouettes, from wireless to balconette to scoop bras.

We’re all about the perfect fit. So when it comes to our bras, we offer five different levels of padding.

Level 1 = extra light, soft, daily wear, like a bralette.

Level 2 = comfy classic t-shirt bras, which fit your shape while offering a moderate lift.

Level 4 gets you even more dramatic enhancement—what we like to call ‘the boob job in a bra’. Choose styles like SKIMS Ultimate Bra and the Super Push-Up Bra for this level, which offers maximum lift and can add the look of up to 2 cup sizes to your bust.

Level 5 is for when you’re ready to make the stand-out statement. That would be our famous Nipple Bra, of course. There’s also the Pierced Nipple Bra, for those who want to take it to the next-next level.

Wearing a push-up bra should look seamless and natural. Too much padding for your individual bust shape, or ill-fitted bras in general, can cause an exaggerated look that you may or may not be going for. Input your measurements into our Bra Size Calculator to get a good sense of your perfect size and fit needs. In some cases, if you’re looking for maximum push-up lift, it won’t necessarily look like your natural size, but maybe that’s the point.

Wearing a push-up bra should make you feel amazing and fabulous—never uncomfortable. If you’re experiencing any discomfort, you may have chosen a bra with the wrong cup size, a band that’s too tight, or a poorly positioned underwire for your shape. Everyone is different; you can get a better understanding of the right fit for you using our Bra Size Calculator.

Still uncomfortable? Try a wire-free option for softer curvature that doesn’t dig, like the Push-Up Plunge Bra or the Super-Push Up Bra in Wireless Form.

Speaking of correct size and personal preference, when you’re shopping for push-up bras (or any SKIMS bras), we make it easy to filter your search by inputting your desired Band, Cup, Style, Wiring, Color, and Collection. See the top of each bra collection page for this configuration.

Many neckline styles are compatible with push-up bras and look amazing with the extra volume. The top of the list includes V-neck tees and tanks, blouses, button-downs, dresses with deep V-necks and deep plunging necklines, and square necklines—all of which can show off a little of that lifted bust. Up next are bodycon dresses, which are fitted to contour and show off your rounded, elevated ladies. And last but not least, push-up bras even work with simple crewneck T-shirts, lifting and amplifying your bust underneath any neckline.

Push-up bras absolutely work for larger busts; they lift you up and enhance that natural cleavage. We suggest a structured bra design with supportive bands, like the Teardrop Push-Up Bra. Stick to moderate lift, since too much padding may feel a bit bulky on bigger breasts.

Most, if not many, push-up bras are designed for daily wear, especially those with light padding and breathable fabrics. Why not show up as your best and most elevated self every day? Let a push-up bra lift your bust, but also your mood.

We always suggest hand washing your SKIMS bras to keep them in their best condition. These undergarments are crafted with care and meticulous shape and padding. If you don’t have time to hand-wash, you may wash it in a mesh bag on a delicate cycle in the washing machine. But always air dry your bra to preserve its original padding and shape.
