A well-fitted bra can genuinely change how you feel over the course of a day. An underwire bra works by using a supportive wire beneath each cup to lift, shape and hold the bust comfortably in place. At Marks & Spencer, the Lingerie-Underwired Bra collection brings together everyday styles and occasion-ready ones too, from smooth T-shirt bras to lace designs and supportive full-cup options.

Underwired Bra for Women – Support, Shape & Style
An underwired bra can give you a supportive fit while helping create a smooth, defined shape. The wire follows the natural curve beneath the bust, and depending on the cup construction, you'll get different levels of coverage and lift.
M&S offers underwired styles across a range of shapes, colours and fabrics. There are everyday designs alongside lace details, plunge necklines and fuller coverage options. Some styles come lightly padded for a smooth finish, while others stick with unpadded cups for a more natural look.
Really, the right style comes down to what you're wearing and how you want your lingerie to feel. A smooth wired bra sits neatly beneath tops and dresses for everyday outfits, while lace or plunge styles bring a more refined finish for special occasions.
Padded Wired Bras
Padded wired bras are worth going for when you want a smooth cup shape with a bit of extra coverage. The padding helps create a rounded silhouette and works particularly well under fitted tops, shirts and dresses.
M&S has padded options across different designs, including T-shirt-friendly styles and bras with plunge or push-up shapes. Looking for an underwire push up bra? Pick a style with the level of lift and coverage that matches your outfit and what you personally prefer.
Underwire Bra Non Padded
If you'd rather have less structure in the cup, an underwire bra non padded is a comfortable option to consider. Non-padded cups tend to let the natural shape of the bust come through, while the wire still does the work of supporting from underneath.
A non-padded underwired bra suits everyday wear well, especially if lightweight lingerie is more your style. Lace, mesh and other soft fabrics can add texture without leaning on thick padding to do it.
How to Choose the Right Underwire Bra Size
Getting the size right is one of the most important steps toward a comfortable bra. Start by measuring your under bust and your fullest bust area, keeping the tape comfortably snug rather than pulling it tight. Match these measurements against the M&S size guide to land on your recommended size.
When you try a bra on, the centre should sit comfortably against your body, the cups should hold the bust without spilling over, and the under band should feel secure without digging in anywhere. The underwire itself should follow the natural curve beneath the bust rather than pressing directly into breast tissue.
Keep in mind that fit isn't identical across styles. A plunge bra, a full-cup bra and a T-shirt style can all feel slightly different, even if they're labelled the same size.
Complete Your Lingerie Set
A bra is only one piece of a comfortable lingerie wardrobe. Pair your favourite underwired style with matching or complementary knickers for a coordinated look. Smooth underwear gives everyday outfits a clean finish, while lace styles add a more feminine touch when you want it.
If a more relaxed fit is what you're after, it's also worth exploring alternatives like a t shirt bra non wired. The right choice really depends on your outfit, your support needs and what feels comfortable to you.
