The Best Sports Bras, According to a Runner, Athlete, Dancer, and Yogi

If finding a well-fitting bra is a challenge, then shopping for that of the activewear variety is another beast entirely. We not only want to find a sports bra that is comfortable and supportive enough to withstand a long run or work-out class, but it should also ideally be stylish and flattering (so no armpit pinching), and the fabric should wick sweat too. Not too much to ask for, right?

With so many sports bras out there it can be hard to find the right one for you and the activity you’re embarking upon. So who better to give us some sports bra shopping advice than the strong sportswomen who wear them daily for their practice and profession. Scroll below to see the must-have bras and brands that a running coach, an athlete, a dance instructor, and a yoga teacher love, wear, and highly recommend—perfect for your next work out.

"I recently discovered Adam Selman Sport and am obsessed! His activewear is really uniquely designed and feels very high-end. An underwire bra like this one provides support no matter what kind of workout you're doing and although I am typically not big on prints, he gets it right every time."
