The Best Sports Bras to Stock Up on in the New Year

Nike Indy Sports Bra ($23, originally $38)

This Nike sports bra is lightweight and has cute minimal straps that'll keep you feeling supported without being too constricting. We love it for everyday activities, particularly if you have a smaller chest. It also comes in a number of fun colors, so you can have one for every cute gym outfit.

Under Armour Infinity 2.0 Mid Sports Bra ($40)

The Infinity Sports Bra from Under Armour boasts a number of positive reviews — and for good reason. It's the type of bra you could do anything in — from boxing to barre, it's got you covered. The top has molded padding, which helps you maintain your shape without feeling foamy or unnatural on the body.

ThirdLove Kinetic Impact Sports Bra ($45, originally $78)

If you're doing high-intensity activity, you want to be in ThirdLove's Impact Sports Bra. It comes in 10 colors and will keep you supported through your toughest workouts with the comfort that ThirdLove is known for. Plus, the adjustable straps at the back and shoulders will help you customize the style's fit to your liking.

Girlfriend Collective Tommy Cropped Bra ($52)

This cropped bra has become an unexpected favorite. Whether you have a smaller or larger chest, this sleek, minimal bra provides a good amount of support, and it's also one of the most comfortable bras we've tried. You can read our review of the Girlfriend Collective Tommy Cropped Bra to learn more.

Editor Quote: "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, it will serve the needs of my daily hikes and low-impact sculpt classes beautifully." — India Yaffe, former associate editor, Shopping

Girlfriend Collective Skyline Bianca One Shoulder Bra ($52)

Girlfriend Collective's viral Skyline sports bra is the perfect style to pick if you want to do a little more intense workout but don't want to feel too weighed down by your gym clothes. We love how comfortable it is; the one-shoulder design offers room for wider movements. Best of all, this bra is available in sizes XXS-6XL.

Girlfriend Collective Paloma Sports Bra ($56)

Per the brand, this longline sports bra is made of recycled water bottles, so it's a style you can feel good about wearing for a variety of reason. The conservative longline silhouette also doubles as a crop top, so it's one less item you have to worry about bringing to the gym.

Knix Catalyst Bra ($64, originally $75)

The Catalyst Bra is the one everyone can't stop talking about. It's super supportive but doesn't dig into your shoulders or underbust, and actually helps your mobility rather than restrict it. The style is available to shop in a range of sizes, and has thousands of positive ratings. If you're going to try one bra, make it this one.

Beyond Yoga Spacedye Lift Your Spirits Bra ($66)

For an option that shows a little skin while still providing ample support, go for this lifted sports bra from Beyond Yoga. While high-neck sports bras can often leave you with awkward tan lines (especially if you work out outside), this option fits more like a classic tank.

Flex Spacer Bra ($69)

This comfortable sports bra has definitely earned its popular reputation. If you're someone who loves higher-impact workouts, this is the ultimate investment style for you. It's made of supportive compression fabric that keeps you in through jumps, lunges, and squats. This bra is made for people with A-C cups.

ON The Performance Bra ($40)

Whether you're an avid runner or someone who is constantly on the go, you need this padded sports bra in your life. The athletic layer is fitted with built-in padding that provides extra support for high-endurance activities, while its sweat-wicking fabric helps to keep you cool through even the most intense workouts.
