The Most Comfortable Sports Bras That Will Make You Actually Want to Work Out
Whatever workout you do, you're going to need a sports bra that's both supportive and comfortable. In my opinion, I think the greatest sports bras out there are the ones that you kind of forget that you're wearing them (aka they don't feel too tight, too loose, and they're like a second skin). You can get a good workout in, push yourself, twist your body in different ways, and do your thing. Sweat sessions can be challenging as-is, so why do you need the added stress of wearing something that is uncomfortable?
Not all sports bras are the same, though. There are sports bras for high-intensity workouts where you need extra support because you're jumping, running, and moving quickly. There are bras that are extra moisture-wicking. And some are better for lower-intensity classes like Barre or yoga.
The sports bras that are made for yoga can be softer and a little bit more comfortable than their high-impact counterparts. A lot of them are not as compressive and are a bit more breathable and non-restrictive, making them easier to move in for those tough, twisty poses in yoga. But they're still supportive enough for those challenging classes. I find that because these sports bras are extra comfy, I even wear them when I'm not working out and just lounging or running errands.
Below, we've listed some sports bra options for your next yoga class.
1. Lululemon Free to Be Elevated Bra
This bra is specifically designed for DD cups so you don't have to worry about support with this one. It's sweat-wicking, breathable, and cooling.
2. Amazon Essentials Racerback Bra
At just $16, this is probably the cheapest option on our list. But that doesn't mean it doesn't provide enough support—it's made for medium-impact workouts, so you can wear it to yoga and an indoor cycling class.
3. Outdoor Voices Zoom Crop Top
The crop top is made with a built-in shelf bra and is best for your sweatiest yoga class.
4. Girlfriend Collective Logan Strappy Bra
The double strap on this bra provides even more support.

The twist design on this stretchy jersey sports bra is a unique detail. There's also a wide band for extra comfort.

While this bra is designed for training, it's still comfortable enough to wear to the yoga studio. It has four-way stretch and is sweat-wicking and cooling.
12. Core 10 Studiotech Icon Series Scallop Bra
At first glance, this looks like your normal sports bra, but when you look closer, it's got a sweet scallop-trim band. The medium-weight fabric makes it ideal for yoga and other low-impact classes.
