The All-Around Winner
Recently worn by a SELF staffer crushing a half-marathon, this sports bra features a moderately contoured unicup design—the perfect halfway point between underwire and uniboob. A strappy backside, which stretches for a custom-style fit, looks just as good exposed as it feels under your racerback tank.

The Sexiest Back
Wanna show off those hard-earned yoga arms and defined shoulders? Look no further than this model, with has a sexy, strappy back designed in a t-shape to allow for optimal movement. Although it’s double-layered for support, this bra’s best left to the smaller set—and for lower-impact workouts, like barre or cycling.

The Supportive Friend (for Smaller Sizes)
Featuring the label’s signature DriFit Technology, the Nike Pro Fierce Bra is great for those with sweaty bustlines: The bra’s design helps move any collected moisture outside of your bra, meaning you’ll stay cool and you guessed it—dry.

The Double-Duty Beauty
Think of this as the ultimate two-in-one—that shows off sexy, sculpted shoulders even for women with larger chests. The highly supportive underwire is only matched by the three sets of padded hook-and-eye closures designed to customize the straps’ fit (and increase comfort). Also a bonus: less laundry.

The One to Show Off at the Gym
Made for far more impact than a Hatha yoga class, this galactically printed sports bra combines barely-there style with medium support. The super-breathable mesh lining and soft cups keep the girls in place while also sporting a hefty dose of attitude.

The SELF Staff Favorite
The resounding staff favorite, this sports bra seamlessly blends style and support—women with cup sizes AA, B and even C all gave the Mia their individual seals of approval: Skinny straps and a croc-skin-inspired jacquard pattern (available in three colors!) lend a casual vibe; a quick-dry liner controls sweat.

The Surprisingly Supportive One
Great for outdoor sports, running or anything else that requires serious movement, this max-support bra features a sleek crossback, a triple hook-and-eye closure and Adidas’s signature Climalite fabric, which wicks away any sweat. We’re partial to the solar pink shade, which helps the otherwise technical-looking bra feel a bit more girly.

The Wallet-Friendly Pick
A great option for women who want support but don’t want underwire, this affordable option is a true all-star. With a higher cut in front, there’s no spillage or cleavage in sight. A wide-set racer back adds an extra hit of comfort, too.
