I am pretty picky when it comes to sports bras [1]. I recognize that different styles are meant for different types of workouts, and since I have a larger chest, I have to know exactly what I want. There's nothing worse than realizing your sports bra won't actually support you during a workout. However, I'd be lying if I said the style didn't matter to me; I'm a lover of matching sets, and I use cute workout clothes as a motivation tool to actually get moving. I'm a big fan of Girlfriend Collective [2] for the cute styles, soft, eco-friendly fabric, and inclusive sizing. The brand has over 15 sports bra styles [3], but I always end up going back to my favorite, the Girlfriend Collective Tommy Bra [4].
It manages to strike the right balance of supportive and comfortable; I feel held in but not bound down.
The bra has a square neck and back, which I generally find to be more supportive than a racerback. It manages to strike the right balance of supportive and comfortable; I feel held in but not bound down. While it's not the bra I'd grab for long runs [5], it will serve the needs of my daily hikes and low-impact sculpt classes beautifully. It is, though, definitely an upgrade in the support department from Girlfriend Collective's previous bras. Plus, the colors match beautiful with the brand's leggings [6] and bike shorts [7], which is always a good thing in my book. It's also soft and sleek, so you might catch me wearing it as a crop top with a blazer and high-waisted jeans [8].
