The Truth About Sports Bras

I like to keep my exercise routine fresh. Currently my routine includes walking 2-4 miles three times a week and weight lifting three times a week. In an effort to clean out some drawers this past week I realized I am the proud owner of 25 sports bras! I mean, I like to exercise but I also try to keep up on my laundry so I have no need for that many! My goal last night was to consolidate and just keep my favorites in rotation. The bras I have linked are my tried and true favorites for a variety of price points.

1. Oiselle Hi Twenty Bra ($52): Oiselle is a high end running brand, and their bras are a higher price point for good reason. Excellent stretch and compression, very soft fabric. Pattern is the classic Oiselle flying birds and comes in several colors.
2. Old Navy Medium Support Powersoft Adjustable-Strap Sports Bra ($29.99): This is a solid no-frills sports bra. I like the adjustable strap feature for a more custom fit/lift.
3. Target Women’s Medium Support Bonded Racerback Bra – All in Motion™ ($20): Target has really stepped up their active wear game in the past few years, and that includes several new sports bras. This one is a regular in my weekly rotation. It has a higher arm hole and bonded, smooth edges.
4. Target Women’s High Support Bonded Bra – All in Motion™ ($30): I love the adjustable hook and eye band strap for a more custom fit. This bra can definitely withstand running and jumping, and the smooth bonded edge doesn’t chafe.
5. Athleta Conscious Crop ($59): This is a popular crop with buttery soft fabric, beautiful colors and patterns, and good support. I have a long torso so I don’t consider this crop length, but rather just a longer line bra.
6. Lululemon Energy Bra High Neck Long Line Rib Medium Support B-D ($68): I’ve really been feeling this high neck, long line bras this summer. I was drawn to the beautiful red color of this bra, and the cute strappy detailing in back. Premium fabric, but you are also paying for the name brand.
