The Right Support
When shopping for a women’s sports bra, you’ll first want to determine how much support you need.
- High-support sports bras: Cardio, cross-training, dance, soccer or any heart-pumping, high-impact sport requires the most support. Look for a compression bra that hugs your body.
- Medium-support sports bras: Peloton riders, spin class enthusiasts and casual joggers can benefit from a medium-support bra.
- Low-support sports bras: Barre class, hot yoga, walking and pilates are all activities suited to a lower-support bra.
Finding Your Sports Bra Fit
Ensuring a good fit is critical when choosing a sports bra. How do you know what bust and band size you are? While you can get a professional to measure you, you also can take your measurements at home:
- First, wrap a measuring tape snugly around your bust where your bra and straps meet. This will determine your band size.
- To find your bust size, you’ll want to measure around your body, making sure to wrap the tape measure around the widest point of your breasts.
- For your cup size, subtract the bust measurement from the band measurement.
Sports Bras vs. Regular Bras
Unlike traditional underwire bras, sports bras are engineered using spandex and cotton materials, often with added patented sweat-wicking capabilities to keep you cool, dry and comfortable. Look for the following when choosing a sports bra:
- Materials: Do you like the quick-drying fabric of your Nike sports bra? What about the HeatGear Under Armour material with its sweat-wicking technology? Find materials that feel comfortable against your body for all-day wear.
- Padding: Do you need extra padding in the cups, or are you more flat-chested and prefer minimal pads? Look for a style that offers the level of padding you desire, or find a bra with removable pads.
- Strap style: Choose from several looks, including racerback styles with thick straps, crossbacks with medium-size straps and convertible sports bras with thin straps.
- Colors: Love a white sports bra layered underneath a thin tee for your workouts? How about a classic black sports bra paired with black compression leggings for a modern vibe? Look for neutrals that blend in or colorful sports bras in a variety of patterns designed to stand out.
