Regardless of your shape, cup size, or fitness preferences, investing in one of the best sports bras for running is key to staying comfortable and supported—whether you’re into high-impact fitness like running, cross-training, and dance or prefer yoga, pilates, and mat-based workouts. Aside from function, design, and performance-enhancing fabrics, if you’re like me, you also might want a sports bra for running that’s suited for high-impact movement, but also kind of cute. Look, it’s probably the placebo effect, but frankly, when I have stylish activewear to put on, I kind of feel more motivated to get started with a workout and often end up pushing myself a little bit harder (as a side note, I do know I shouldn’t be so affected by the aesthetics of my sports bra when it comes to motivation, but hey, at least I’m being honest here.) Because activewear has become a bona fide fashion category in recent years, it’s subject to its own cycle of seasonal trends, and right now it’s all about long-line silhouettes, fun prints, bold colorways, and geometric or cut-out details.
But aside from style-focussed considerations, finding a sports bra for running to keep everything secure, in place, and comfortable for your exercise endeavors is actually a pretty essential piece for any activewear lineup that can either enhance or hinder your performance—not to mention potentially leave you in pain (we’re talking to you, jumping jacks). Ideally, you want your sports bra to be stylish and figure-flattering, but frankly, you also need it to be functional and supportive, which means it needs to offer a few other things too—solid support, comfortable design, anti-chafing fabric, and sweat-wicking functionality.
Of course, the best sports bra for running to suit your specific needs isn’t going to necessarily be the best sports bra for low-impact workouts, like barre, yoga, and stretching. For these higher impact activities like running and jogging, you’ll want to go for an option with greater compression capacity to hold everything *comfortably* in place without cutting off your circulation.
