These Are the Sports Bras You'll Actually Enjoy Wearing
I used to have such a love-hate relationship with sports bras. I obviously knew they were necessary (hello, support!), but I also felt that they were super restrictive and too tight. Don't even get me started on taking them off after an especially difficult and sweaty workout.
In recent years, though, sports bras have actually gotten pretty cute and comfortable. These newer ones are just so much better because many are made with softer or more flexible fabrics, are easier to move in, and have some stylish moments. The latter part especially comes in handy these days because it seems that the workout look is a pair of leggings and a sports bra—hold the tank top or T-shirt.
Since I've been working out every day for the past five months, I realized I have a set of nonnegotiables I'm looking for in a sports bra. One, it has to be supportive yet comfortable enough to move in. Two, it doesn't hurt if it's got a cute print or a unique silhouette. And three, it's got to be moisture-wicking. Who wants to feel completely drenched in sweat when you're only halfway through a workout?
If you're looking for some new moisture-wicking sports bras, I've compiled a list of some of my favorites and other highly rated ones below. Happy workout!
