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 good sports top is the basis of every workout. Choosing one is not the easiest, but it is worth taking a moment and choosing one that will serve you during many hours of training. We regret that there is no one, universal sports bra that will meet 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 you have thought that choosing a sports bra should be limited to its visual value… You were living in blissful error. But don't worry! Probably every one of us, when starting our adventure with a healthy lifestyle, has made a lot of mistakes. Fortunately, more and more manufacturers, in addition to technical reasons, pay attention to its appearance, creating products tailored to the needs of customers - pretty, sexy, with long sleeves, or without.
Before you buy a sports bra, you need to know what kind of workouts you plan to use it for. During activities such as running or intense fitness training, you need very good support. A padded sports bra will work perfectly here, which, if properly selected, will keep your breasts in place and safe during the entire workout. Also pay attention to whether the top has removable cups. Then, it will be so universal that you can also use it for yoga and lower-intensity sports. The presence of removable cups also increases the stability of the breasts and, of course, gives them a nice shape. A push up sports bra is also a great solution for women with smaller breasts who feel uncomfortable in classic sports bras, which often flatten the chest.
Another question that needs to be answered before choosing is what our breasts are like. If they are ample, it is worth paying attention to a sports top dedicated to large breasts . These types of products support the breasts even more. Tops with a low level of support will weaken the system of elastic and stretchable ligaments, which may result in stretch marks, loss of firmness, and even irreversible deformations. Each subsequent workout in an improperly selected sports bra causes large breasts to start sagging and looking less attractive. After all, we do not work on our own bodies to ruin the appearance of our breasts!
The style of the bra itself is also important here. It is good if it is properly covered and has wide straps. However, this does not mean that it has to have a typical sporty vibe! Check out sports tops with mesh or openwork sports tops.
Women with smaller breasts can choose a medium-support sports bra. Here, it is worth paying attention to whether the training bra has comfortable straps that do not cut into the skin. An interesting solution is also a bra with an adjustable clasp . Such tops work very well for girls with a smaller cup, which changes its volume depending on the cycle we are in. Thanks to this solution, we can easily control whether the sports top fits the body properly, while not excessively squeezing the bust.
A properly selected sports bra without underwires will prove irreplaceable for women of all body types, both for owners of larger and smaller breasts. Here, however, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the bra should have two separate cups (there may also be stiffened push up inserts). They are much safer for the bust than bras in which the breasts end up in one place.
A sports top with leggings is a suggestion for girls who feel best in full, color-coordinated sports sets. When choosing them, also follow the above tips. When choosing a longsgleeve (rashguard) with leggings, remember that you need additional protection. In turn, classic sports tops with straps will be suitable for strength training, yoga, fitness or home workouts.
All this information may indicate that buying a sports bra online is very difficult. However, nothing could be further from the truth! Before shopping online, collect all your necessary measurements with a tailor's tape - it will make the whole process much easier. In addition, carefully read the product descriptions, which most often suggest which women a given product will work for. If you have any properties, write an email or contact the Customer Service Office , our specialists will be happy to advise you on the choice.
To sum up, what should you look for when choosing the perfect gym top?
- Is it adapted to our figure and bust size?
- Does it hold your breasts tightly enough to your body?
- Is it tight enough, but not too tight?
- Is the elastic under the bust strong enough and does it fit snugly to the body?
- Does it have soft seams that won’t cause chafing?
- Does it have comfortable straps? In the case of larger busts - are the straps wide enough?
- Is it made of a soft material that will be suitable for training? (read about what material a good sports outfit should be made of here )
- does it change position during intense exercises/jumps/fast movements?
