The best sports bras for running and gym workouts, tried and tested
If you’re anything like me, sports bras aren’t just a part of your gym wardrobe. As someone who largely works from home, I rarely reach for a normal bra these days, instead, living in comfy sports bras. So this Lululemon Like A Cloud bra is now my regular go-to bra, which is easy to slip on – I almost forget I’m wearing.
Made from four-way stretch, supple fabric, with marshmallow soft cups, it’s comfortable, yet supportive and worthy of the brand’s ‘cloud-like’ description. Although supportive while sat at my desk, it’s not one for active gym sessions. The support is minimal, particularly if you have a bigger bust and need more support, but it sits well for less impact based classes. I’ve worn it to a couple of yoga and Pilates classes and there’s been no risk of anything falling out. In fact, for low-impact movement, it does the job very well and the bra shouldn’t move out of place.
Available in six colours, including my favourite pink, the bra’s double-straps are very flattering, as is the light padding. However, if you like highly adjustable sports bra, this may not be one for you, as there aren’t any options to adjust this bra and the sizing is pretty limited.
At over £50 it’s a sizeable investment, especially if you just wearing it for comfort at home. But if, like me, you love slipping on a sports bra every morning instead of faffing around with an uncomfortable bra, then its worth its price and more.
