Finding the best bras for small busts might not seem like much of a challenge. Those who wear bigger cups often envy petite women who can go bra-less.

But just because one can, doesn’t always mean one wants to go without a bra. Women enjoy wearing feminine lingerie whatever their body and breast size. What we wear underneath simply enhances what is worn over our undergarments. They’re not called “foundations” for nothin'.

Fashion trends in bras for small busts often swing between two extremes: those bumping you up one or two cup sizes or offering no more than a simple lace bandeau for structure and support. Neither choice is wrong. But there's more to small boob lingerie than just two options. And these all-grown-up petite foundations could never be mistaken for teen training bras.

The sexy push-up takes on a classy twist with The Little Bra Company’s Lucia bra. Just the right amount of padding creates deep cleavage, with a dramatic plunge front covered in feminine lace.

Proper support (and style) while exercising is required whether you are small, medium, or large busted.

The Little Bra Company Elizabeth Sports Bra

The Little Bra Company’s Elizabeth Sports bra is perfect for low to medium impact activities. The pull-over racerback style features two part, soft microfiber contour cups. The Elizabeth is available in three colors, and in band sizes 30-38 with cups A-C.

Shock Absorber’s Level 2 Sports Bra meets the active woman’s high impact workout needs. Includes removable padding for added shaping. The racerback looks great on its own, or under your favorite athletic tops. The Shock Absorber Level 2 Sports Bra is available in sizes 32AA to 36B.
