I moved recently and finally have the floor space to start the home yoga sessions I’d planned to begin this year. Just one problem---I have nothing suitable to wear. So I got to researching workout gear, and that led to a hunt for the perfect sports bra.
The trouble is, I don’t particularly like sportswear. Athleisure is just not my vibe. I may normally be a total bra hoarder, but I’ve never until now encountered a sports bra I wanted to buy. They’re bland, they’re bulky and they’re boring. Of course, I know that sports bras are designed with function in mind. But can’t they do their job and look cute too?
After much scouring of the internet, I did manage to find some. Yay! And I thought I’d share my discoveries here for the others of you who covet style as much as you crave support.
There’s definitely more innovation and fashion-forward design among the bras created for low-impact sports. This is where you’ll find metallic fabrics, cool cut-outs, strapping details and even in one case ruffles. Is your exercise routine more intensive? You can still indulge in an eye-catching print or some bold color-blocking to stand out at the gym.
Below are 25 chic sports bras chosen as much for their aesthetic appeal as their bounce-reducing and moisture-wicking capabilities. Plus-sized and full-bust sports bras are both included in the list. And there’s something for every budget too. If you want a sports bra that looks as good as it performs, read on!
