Bras and sport bras

When you’re ready to work up a sweat, make sure you’ve got the support you need to do it in comfort. The right sports bra is one you don’t need to think about once it’s on so you can focus on more important things – like your workout.

There are two main factors to consider when shopping for a sports bra: shape and material. The shape is a big one when it comes to personal comfort. Are you looking for something with more coverage, or something low-profile? Thin straps or thick? Adjustable or static? Many of these options come down to personal preference and your activity of choice, so try a few options to figure out what feels best.

For materials, you’ve got synthetic or blended options that each offer their own benefits. Synthetic materials like polyester and spandex offer a stretchy sports bra that fits to your body and moves with you. When you blend in materials like merino wool, you get added benefits like natural moisture wicking and antimicrobial properties plus a super-soft finish.

For a little more coverage during your training, check out tanks and sleeveless shirts to layer over your sports bra. And if you’re looking to complete your outfit, try a pair of yoga pants, leggings, or running shorts – your legs will thank you.
