It’s time to confess… since lockdown, your bra drawer has been collecting dust, hasn’t it? When we said goodbye to the office, and well, leaving the house all together, the first thing we ditched was our bras. Instead, we ramped up the home workouts, bulk-bought matching workout sets, and swapped our tired underwired bras for comfortable sports bras.
Turns out sports bras are just as comfortable for all-day wear as they are for supporting you during your workouts; they offer comfort, coverage, and a cute everyday style.
So if athleisure is part of your style identity now, you’ll be happy to discover the most comfortable sports bras to wear every day.
Can you wear a sports bra as an everyday bra?
First things first you should know that you can wear whatever bra option you want to whether that’s no bra, a sports bra, or anything in between. But the elephant in the room is whether a sports bra can support your boobs properly during everyday activities.
The reason many of us wear a bra is to bring support to our chest and reduce the downward pull of our breasts, which can be uncomfortable when not supported properly. According to Dr. Tia Muster's interview on sports bra wear, wearing a sports bra every day is okay if it fits correctly and supports your boobs. Thumbs up from the OB/GYN's.
Don’t compromise on comfort by wearing the wrong sized bra, find your perfect fit with our go-to guide on sports bra sizing.
Benefits of wearing a sports bra
It’s not just that you can build cute sporty fits around a sports bra, like the oh-so casual ‘just-left-the-yoga-studio’ bra and leggings attire, there are actually plenty of benefits of wearing a sports bra that make sense for everyday wear.
With a sea of bra options on the market, many of us are now able to find supportive yet stylish wire-free undergarments. For those of you that prefer sportier style bras or just find yourself reaching to your sports bra often, you’ll be pleased to know all our sports bras are wire-free.
We have the most comfortable sports bras for all-day wear, with comfortable straps and underbands that don’t dig in to you and stay put designs to help you avoid discomfort.
Sports bras come in a variety of styles, and a benefit of most designs are that they're made from moisture-wicking, breathable fabrics. This is great for keeping you from getting hot and sweaty on warmer days, and makes for a comfortable fit for all-day wear.
Following random bursts of energy throughout the day, you might break out into dance or perform 100 star jumps on the spot. So it’s nice to know that your sports bra will move with you throughout the day, however that may look. The flexible nature of sports bras allows you to move with ease and the adaptive fabric moulds comfortably to your body.
Made for running, jumping, lifting and stretching, you’re not going to get more support than from a sports bra. As design technology improves, our sports bra’s have become increasingly more supportive and inclusive, with newer designs sporting dual-cup designs, and multiple adjustable points.
