4 of the best sports bras

2 MIN READ • 29th October 2016

Stay supported when you work out with these top buys

A good bra is essential when you work out, but choosing the right one is no mean feat. To make sure you’re not one of the 9.5 million women in the UK currently in the wrong sports bra, consider your breast size and the type of activity you’ll be undertaking. Compression bras work for smaller cup sizes while encapsulation (with individual cups) tend to be more effective for larger sizes. If you mostly do low-impact activities such as walking, then thinner material will be fine, but if you’re hitting the treads go for less stretchy material with supportive seams.
Try one of our top picks below.
