The Allure of Contour Bras – Enhancing Comfort & Confidence

Just like a trusted friend, a bra can offer you steadfast support, comfort and confidence, and be by your side throughout life’s changes. If you’re on the lookout for a new perfect-match bra with unbeatable support, the contour bra may just be the one for you. So what exactly is a contour bra? And, is a contour bra the same as a push-up bra? There are so many bras out there that it can be hard to keep up with the differences, so in this post, we’ll cover the defining differences of the contour bra, as well as the advantages, and when to wear one. 

What is a contour bra?

Just quietly, the contour bra is a masterpiece of design that blends support and comfort with style. These bras are all about seamless elegance. Sometimes called a moulded cup bra, the cups of a contour bra are shaped to perfection to create a smooth silhouette. Think of them as the versatile wardrobe essential that effortlessly adapts to your body, enhancing your natural curves while providing unbeatable support.

Often featuring underwire, contour bras are designed to sculpt your breasts for a symmetrical and rounded shape, without cup spillage, making them a great choice for larger busts.

As with other bra types, contour bras come in many different styles to suit different breast shapes and outfits, including t-shirt, balconette and plunge styles.

Is a contour bra a push up bra?

This is a question we’re often asked - is a contour bra the same as a push up bra? While both bras share the goal of enhancing your natural shape, they do this in different ways.

What is the difference between a contour bra and a push up bra?

A contour bra works its magic through the smooth moulded cups, which provide subtle lift and a seamless look.

In contrast, a push up bra is designed to elevate and accentuate cleavage. So while both bras offer support and enhance your curves, the result is quite different. 

What is a contour balconette bra?

Perhaps in your bra search, you’ve come across mention of a contour balconette bra and you’re wondering how they differ to a standard contour bra?

Picture this: the contour cups you love, coupled with the allure of a balconette neckline. Contour balconette bras bring a touch of elegance that can be effortlessly paired with lower necklines for a date night or glam occasion.

Who can wear a contour bra?

The beauty of a contour bra lies in its versatility. Here for everyone, this is a bra that is right at home on a spontaneous adventure and is still ready for date night.

The supportive underwire and lightweight moulded cups make contour bras perfect for people with larger busts, offering support without an exaggerated appearance. And, contour bras are also loved as the go-to bra for women with different busy sizes and breast shapes.

Whether you’re getting through a busy day or heading for a night out, the contour bra has your back (literally).

What outfits and events is a contour bra best suited for?

When it comes to versatility, contour bras truly shine. They can adapt to most occasions, supporting you to feel your best.

Thanks to the soft and lightweight padding, this style of bra is super comfortable and can be worn with almost any outfit.

• Everyday ease: wear a smooth contour bra under your t-shirt for a seamless and rounded appearance, or for support while relaxing at home.
• Workplace support: thanks to their light padding, contour bras are perfect for wearing beneath light blouses or tight tops, providing some nipple privacy and a smooth appearance.
• Seamless delight: ever want to wear an outfit without having the bra outline visible? Contour bras offer a more seamless look, blending out the appearance of the cups and band.
