best sports bras, bras you should be wearing

Fans of the cult following cycling brand Rapha have been singing the praises of the line’s functional, fashionable designs for years, so it’s no surprise that the recent release of its first sports bra has been met with serious fanfare. Available in both light and medium support options for moderate to intense training, the sleek design has that same barely-there feeling as other Rapha gear with just enough compression and a slim underband to keep everything in place. Laser-cut holes and a mesh lining offer extra ventilation—not to mention a fashionable touch. 

This made-in-Massachusetts classic comes in a comfy, sturdy nylon/spandex blend with two layers of fabric for support. Admittedly, though, it’s the varsity stripe—that sporty Italian wool band nodding way back to the '80s—that makes this one a winner.

This Bandier exclusive from Insta-famous duo Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman is sure to turn heads with its eye-catching black and white color blocking, but its promise to suit up especially well endowed women is what will keep your attention. The adjustable straps as well as the hook and eye closure make it a solid pick for anyone seeking that extra support. 

Made from moisture-wicking fabric from Italy, ADay’s crowd-pleaser offers just enough support for low-impact fitness along with an A-shape back for unfettered stretching. Bonded seams mean no rubbing while you move around, and mesh panels offer extra ventilation.

Now that athleisure’s officially accepted as a form of fashion, it makes just as much sense to suit up in a sports bra for the day as your demi bra. The two-layer design and wide band provide plenty of functional support, but more importantly, the scoop neck silhouette and pop of neon paired with the sporty camo print will spice up any outfit.

When it comes to sports bras, there’s more to consider than finding which style is least likely to give you a uni-boob.
