What is a bra with side support, and is it right for me?

A bra with side support has extra panels or reinforcement along the sides of the cup. The construction gathers the bust forward and inward rather than outward to the sides, giving extra stability and a more centred, lifted feeling throughout the day. It particularly suits those with a fuller or larger bust, or softer breast tissue, who find their bust tends to shift or spread to the sides, and it’s available in both everyday styles and full cups.
