How to properly match a sports top to your figure?
We are convinced that in 2021 we do not need to convince anyone why a proper sports top is the foundation of every workout. Choosing one is not the easiest task, but it's worth taking a moment to select one that will serve you during many hours of exercise. We lament that there is no single, universal sports bra that meets the expectations of all women, but we believe that this is where the magic lies! We hope that the text below will help you choose the perfect sports bra for your needs.
If until now you thought that choosing a sports bra should be limited to its visual qualities… you were living in blissful ignorance. But don't worry! Almost every one of us, when starting our journey with a healthy lifestyle, made a lot of mistakes. Fortunately, more and more manufacturers, besides technical considerations, pay attention to its appearance, creating products tailored to the needs of customers - beautiful, sexy, with long sleeves or without.
Before you buy a sports bra, you need to know during which workouts you plan to use it. During activities such as running or intense fitness training, you need very good support. Here, a reinforced sports bra will be perfect, which, if well-fitted, will keep your breasts in place and safe throughout the entire workout. Also pay attention to whether the top has removable cups. In that case, it will turn out to be universal to the extent that you can also use it for yoga and lower-intensity sports. The presence of removable cups also increases breast stability and, of course, gives them a nice shape. A push-up sports bra is also a great solution for women with smaller busts who feel uncomfortable in classic sports bras that often flatten the chest.
The next question to ask yourself before choosing is what our breasts are like. If they are ample - it's worth paying attention to a sports top dedicated to large busts. Such products provide even more support for the bust. Tops with a low level of support can weaken the system of elastic and stretchable ligaments, which can lead to stretch marks, loss of firmness, and even irreversible deformities. Each subsequent workout in an improperly fitted sports bra causes a large bust to start sagging and looking less attractive. And after all, we work on our bodies not to ruin the appearance of our breasts!
Here, the style of the bra is also important. It should be appropriately structured and have wide straps. However, this does not mean it must have a typically sporty vibe! Check out sport tops with mesh or sport tops with cutouts.
Women with smaller breasts can choose a sports bra with medium support. Here, it is worth paying attention to whether the training bra has comfortable straps that do not dig into the skin. An interesting solution is also a bra with adjustable closure. Such tops work very well for girls with smaller cups, which can change in volume depending on the cycle they are in. Thanks to this solution, we can easily control whether the sports top fits the body properly, while not excessively compressing the bust.
A properly selected wireless sports bra will prove to be irreplaceable for women of every body type, both for those with larger and smaller breasts. However, it is worth noting that the bra should have two separate cups (they can also have padded push-up inserts). They are much safer for the bust than bras where the breasts are placed in one spot.
A sports top paired with leggings is a suggestion for girls who feel best in full, color-coordinated sports sets. When choosing them, also apply the above tips. When choosing a long sleeve (rashguard) with leggings, remember that you need additional protection for it. On the other hand, classic sports tops with straps will be suitable for strength training, yoga, fitness, or home workouts.
All this information may suggest that buying a sports bra online is very difficult. However, nothing could be further from the truth! Before shopping online, gather all your necessary measurements with a measuring tape - this will greatly facilitate the entire process. Additionally, read product descriptions carefully, which often suggest for which women a given product will work. If you have any specific questions, send an email or contact Customer Service, our specialists will be happy to advise you in your choice.
In summary, what should you pay attention to when choosing the perfect gym top?
- is it tailored to our body shape and breast size?
- does it hold the breasts close to the body properly?
- is it tight enough, but not too tight?
- is the band under the bust strong enough and does it fit the body properly?
- Does it have soft seams that won't cause chafing?
- Does it have comfortable straps? In the case of a larger bust - are the straps appropriately wide?
- Is it made of a soft material that will perform well during training? (You can read about what material a good sports outfit should be made of here)
- Does it not shift position during intense workouts/jumping/quick movements?
