I'm Big Busted, Love This One-Shoulder BraHearst Owned

One-shoulder sports bras are probs my favorite emerging trend in the activewear industry (if you haven't seen them at the gym, WYD?). But a common misconception about them is that, because they only have one strap, they're much less supportive than a high-impact sports bra. That may be true with some styles, but the editors at Women's Health, along with a solid group of outside testers, have solidified a list of options that not only look cute, but hold the girls in place during exercise, too.

Whether you have big busts or you're a member of the IBTC, the below list features products that fit a wide range of needs and preferences. And they're not all just made for low-impact workouts like yoga or Pilates—reviewers love some of these styles for long runs and HIIT training, too. From high-coverage options to the comfiest ones of the bunch, keep scrolling to find 10 editor-tested and reviewer-loved picks from popular brands like Gymshark, Amazon, Lululemon, and more.

Align Asymmetrical Bra

Both Kristen Saladino, executive fashion director at WH, and Rose Lauture, assistant fashion editor at WH, love Lululemon's Align Asymmetrical Bra. "It comes in so many colors and adds such a fun touch of brightness to any workout 'fit," says Lauture. And while the color options are def one of this bra's best attributes, we also love how soft it is (I mean, it is made with the brand's iconic Align fabric after all!).

Like the brand's other sports bras, this one-shoulder design is made with Lululemon's patented lycra fibre, which offers four-way stretch and solid shape retention. Plus, if you're wearing it to hot yoga or pilates, you don't have to worry about getting too sweaty as it's moisture- and sweat-wicking.

Rave Review: "This sports bra feels so soft and looks fabulous. I think I might just have to wear this out and about more often."

Aurora Seamless One Shoulder Tank

If you're looking for something super stretchy and loose, this cropped one-shoulder tank from Athleta is the way to go. The soft, ribbed fabric makes it super comfy, as it offers that seamless, chafe-free feel. Plus, it has hydrogen odor-controlling yarns that keep the shirt from smelling after sitting in the laundry for too long.

Since it doesn't have a ton of support, testers love this tank for yoga, lifting, and pilates because it doesn't slide around. "Once it's on, there's absolutely no slippage," says one happy reviewer.

Rave Review: "I absolutely love this top. I feel so confident, cute, and hot in it. I wear these for my weightlifting sessions and have it in four colors now. Fabric feels great and smooth on the body."

Ribbed Cotton Seamless One Shoulder Bra

Once I tried Gymshark, I never went back—and the same thing reins true when I slipped on this stretchy one-shoulder bra. Like the Athleta option, it's made with a ribbed fabric, but what makes this one different is that it's double layered for added support. Although the brand still recommends wearing it for low-impact workouts, it'll hold the girls in a little tighter than some other options on this list, so feel free to wear it on speed walks or higher intensity strength sessions.

Editor Review: "I'm not huge on light support bras, but this one has won me over time and time again. The double layered fabric really adds that extra boost of comfort, and I never feel like I'm popping out of the bra." —Lily Wohlner, associate fashion and commerce editor at WH

Spacedye One Up Cropped Tank

This one-shoulder top hits right at the belly button, so it's the perfect option if you want more coverage in your stomach area. Worried about support? Don't be! It comes with a built-in bra that offers just the right amount of hold for those with a bigger bra size.

And here's a bonus: It's made with UV-blocking fabric, providing an extra layer of protection when you're out in the sun. Plus, on those hot, sweaty days, its moisture-wicking features really keep you comfortable.

Rave Review: "This is one of my fav tops. It stays up for big boob women—I wear a size 32D! In this top, I ordered a small for reference."

One Shoulder Sports Bra

Talk about rave reviews, this sports bra has racked up a solid 1,000 five-star ratings. Do you need any more convincing than that? Testers agree that this bra has awesome support—even when the padding is removed—during higher-intensity workouts like running or HIIT. One reviewer, whose a size 38G, wears it to the gym for treadmill runs almost every day—she loves it so much, she has it in five different colors.

Rave Review: "I am obsessed with this new sports bra! My friend ordered one and I loved it on her so I had to get my own. It's very comfortable and fits exactly as expected. Quality is awesome and it’s lasted me forever!"

Robin Sports Bra

Another recommendation from Lauture, this one-shoulder bra gets high marks in the comfort category. "It features a wide band, so it's super comfortable to wear," Lauture says. "Plus, it always stays in place, so it's great for low-impact workouts where you're doing a lot of bending over and moving from side to side."

Testers add that they love this bra because it wears well over time. No matter how many times they wash it, they say that it feels good as new every time.

Rave Review: "It’s not often you can find a supportive one-shoulder sports bra, but this is it. It's the perfect cut and the fabric is supportive and wears well over time. Gives an edge to any gym outfit."

Aria One-Shoulder Sports Bra

Our biggest pet peeve is sports bras without an adjustable strap, but this one from Bandier checks our box, making it the perfect fit (literally) for those of you who want a more customizable option. Aside from the adjustable strap, it also has padding to make you feel more supported with no sagging in sight. Plus, you can purchase matching leggings that complete the modern, chic look.

Editor Review: "The fact that this sports bra is adjustable automatically blows it out of the water for me. The welcome addition of padding and a fitted band around the chest just make it that much more of a win."

Earth Bianca One Shoulder Bra

Whether you're part of the itty bitty titty comity or you're bigger busted, this bra fits everyone (trust, 2,171 reviewers have commented on how much they love it). It ranges from size XXS to 6XL, and we appreciate that it has a form-fitted shape no matter which size you go for. One of our testers notes that although it has four-way stretch, it still fits nice and snug and holds the girls in place during low-impact workouts.

Rave Review: "When I say that this bra held me in place, I am 100 percent telling the honest truth because I used this in my spin class and there was no shifting, no awkward readjusting, no anything. I truly appreciate how it stayed compressive throughout the ride and that is something that rarely happens with other sports bras."

One Shoulder Sports Bra

This sports bra has also garnered a ton of reviews on Amazon, but it gets bonus points for its many color options (41 to be exact!). "I have bought this bra in multiple colors, but the leopard is my favorite pattern," says one of our testers, adding that they've sent the link to multiple of their friends because it's just that good.

This bra also features padding, so it's great for higher intensity workouts or classes like pilates and yoga where you're doing a lot of bending over.

Rave Review: "Highly recommend—it has great support and looks nice. I am a little busty, wearing 40DD and an XXL. It’s a little on the dressier side as far as sports bras go, but it worked great under my one-shoulder black dress I bought to wear on a cruise."
