If there’s one thing I’m plagued by every day, it’s my posture. Slouching over a tiny table typing on my laptop, scrolling on my phone on the subway with my neck bent, sitting in a weird, contorted position at my desk… it’s a constant battle between my desire for spinal alignment and my desire sit in a way that resembles a crumpled croissant.
But in the same way that she rescued me from feeling alone during teenage heartbreak and a 22nd birthday without a dedicated pop song, Taylor Swift comes through with a solution. Last year, I reviewed the posture-correcting Forme sports bra that Taylor was spotted wearing during her Eras Tour training, and it truly did improve my posture.
The only con? The $178 price tag. But! Not to worry, because Black Friday is officially here and Forme is offering 30% off the entire site. Just use code BLACKFRIDAY30 to bring the total down to $124.50—and honestly, this is the only time of year that the price gets that low. Plus, you can use your HSA/FSA money on it, if you have one of those!
The Power Bra, which uses various tensions and double-layered panels to gently support and guide your shoulders and spinal muscles into better posture, comes in sizes XS-3XL. It’s also available in seven different colors!

"It's very comfortable, shockingly, considering I have horrendous posture, according to my chiropractor. It pulls back my shoulders a bit without pinching anything and doesn't feel unnatural, either,” says beauty editor Beth Gillette.
Note that the Power Bra is unlined, but if you prefer discreet padding, the Power+ Bra is going to be your best bet. It’s a little more expensive at $208, but the 30% discount code knocks it down to $145.60 (which is way cheaper than the O.G. bra at regular price!!).
And as far as efficacy (what a great word), I can attest to the instant relief that the Power Bra provides. I have a mild case of scoliosis, so the resting state of my spine is a little funky, but the Forme bra gently supports my back and reminds me that I’m most comfortable and pain-free when my posture is correct without feeling unnatural.
I mean it when I say that this is probably the cheapest it’s going to get, so if you’re planning on making a long-term investment in your posture, now is the time to do it!
