Finding a good sports bra ranks right up there with the denim struggle. You try on a million styles, you wiggle, you tug, you shimmy all around the dressing room just to find that perfect fit. And most often, you leave defeated. But, I promise you, there’s a style that has your name all over it – and I’m here to help! So today I’m sharing the best sports bra…ever.
Okay, I lied…I’m actually sharing the best sports bra brand ever. I have at least 5 sports bras from Brooks Running and each of them fit like a glove, allowing me to workout without pinching, gathering, or bulging (you know what I’m talking about), whether it’s running, weight lifting or hot yoga. In fact, Brooks Running was named #1 sports bra brand for runners, due to their very specific engineering. I’ve had the opportunity of meeting their designers…and let’s just say they’re legit. They know what they’re doing.
In today’s post I’m featuring two of their latest designs for Spring 2017, the Uprise Crossback and the Hot Shot.
I’m wearing the Uprise Crossback in the above photos. They say they’re preferred by A/B cups, however, I’m a C cup and a size Medium works absolutely perfect, with fantastic support. The first night I wore it I did a run and bootcamp class. #WorkoutApproved
This streamlined, masterfully-designed sports bra has lightweight, perforated cups that provide maximum shape, ventilation, and modesty in a style built specifically for A/B cups. Cross-back, powermesh straps will keep you cool, while the DriLayer® Adapt bottom band in this Brooks sports bra wicks moisture and molds to your body for a perfect fit.
- Lightweight, perforated contoured cups enhance support and provide maximum shape and modesty
- Cross-back, powermesh straps offer maximum ventilation
- DriLayer® Adapt bottom band molds to the body for a personalised fit with every wear
- Encapsulation/Compression
In the photo below I also shared a few of my other current workout faves – the Misfit Ray (save $10 with promo code – BEAMISFIT) and the Ghost Crop Running Tights (full post coming soon).
Pictured below is the Hot Shot, which has soft, self-adjusting straps, making it my pick for barre or yoga.
This modern, open-back Brooks sports bra molds to the body for supreme comfort. Our DriLayer® Adapt straps self adjust for a perfect fit, while minimal back coverage and a flexible bottom band allow for maximum range of motion with every stride. Plus, removable cups offer shape and modesty options. Get uncomplicated beauty in this performance-ready open-back sports bra.
