The bra is the centrepiece of lingerie: the one that supports, shapes the bust and sets the tone for a whole outfit. Lace models, shaping push-ups, balconettes, wireless bralettes, open-cup bras or structured bustiers: this category brings together cuts for every bust and every mood, from discreet everyday support to the piece frankly made to seduce.
A bra doesn't just hold things in place: it shapes the bust, balances the silhouette and changes the way an outfit falls. Well chosen, it disappears all day; badly fitted, it reminds you of itself constantly. It's probably the most technical piece of lingerie, and the one that deserves the most attention when you choose it.
In this category, you'll find lace bras, push-up models that lift, balconettes that open up the neckline, soft wireless bralettes, more daring open-cup models, as well as structured bustiers. Everything to suit every bust, every outfit and every mood, from the most discreet to the most confident.
A good bra neither squeezes nor gapes: it hugs the bust, spreads the support across the shoulders and back, and lets you breathe. Comfort isn't the enemy of desire — it's often what makes it possible.
It all starts with the support you need. For a fuller bust, an underwired model with wide straps spreads the weight and relieves the back. For a smaller bust, a bralette or balconette is enough and favours lightness. Think too about what you wear over it: a plunging neckline calls for a suitable model, a bare back for a specific bra.
Then comes the question of size, the trickiest of all. The band and the cup must be right: the band under the bust provides most of the support, the straps only complete it. A wire that pulls away or a band that rides up are signs of a poor fit. If in doubt, go for a slightly larger cup and a more fitted band.
From the most structured model to the lightest, the catalogue falls into a few main families. Here are the markers to find your way.
The signature of feminine lingerie: lace dresses the cup, hints without revealing everything and adds an instant sensual touch. Fine or embroidered, it ranges from the everyday model to the seduction piece.
Made to lift and shape, they add volume and bring the cleavage together thanks to padding placed under the cup. Ideal for showing off the bust under a neckline or for those who love a rounded effect.
The balconette opens up the top of the bust and supports it from below, for a rounded neckline and a naturally lifted effect. The half-cup takes the idea further and slips under the deepest necklines.
Wireless, soft and light, they hug the bust without restricting it. They favour comfort and a natural look, perfect for smaller busts, relaxed days or a softer look under a loose garment.
Bolder, they bare the bust entirely while keeping a structure underneath that lifts it. Made for seduction, they're often kept for moments for two.
Halfway between the bra and the corset, they extend the support down to the waist and structure the whole silhouette. They dress an evening outfit or a moment when you want a more pronounced presence.
The push-up banks on effect: padding, wires and a studied cut lift the bust and deepen the cleavage. It's the choice for those who want volume, a defined shape and visible enhancement under a fitted garment. In return, it's felt a little more than soft models.
The bralette plays the opposite card: no wires, a soft fabric and light support that leaves the bust natural. You choose it for comfort, softness and a relaxed look, especially on a smaller bust. Many keep both: the push-up for the outfits that call for it, the bralette for everyday comfort.
A few simple pointers are enough to find the model that really suits you and keep it in good shape.
At Tentations, we've gathered everything you need to dress the bust in every register: lace, push-up, balconettes, bralettes, open-cup models and structured bustiers, in a range of cuts designed for every body type.
You'll find both support models for everyday and pieces designed for seduction, from the discreet bra under a T-shirt to the model that becomes the centre of an outfit. It's up to each person to find the cut that suits them.
If you're unsure, start with the support you need, then with the neckline you wear most often. You can then vary the fabrics and cuts to suit the occasion, from everyday lace to the evening model.
Measure your band (under the bust) and your bust; the difference between the two gives the cup. If in doubt, favour a well-fitted band and a slightly larger cup.
The push-up lifts the bust with padding and brings the cleavage together. The balconette supports from below and opens up the top of the bust, for a more natural rounded neckline.
It's a soft, wireless bra that hugs the bust without restricting it. Light and comfortable, it suits smaller busts and relaxed days best.
The band under the bust should stay horizontal without riding up, the wires should hug the chest without pulling away, and the cup should contain the bust without squeezing or gaping.
Favour hand washing or a laundry bag, at low temperature, and flat drying. This preserves the wires, lace and elasticity, especially for the most delicate models.
Yes, the structure sits under the bust and supports it from below. The support stays light: these models are mainly made for seduction, not for prolonged wear.
