With the world increasingly becoming more health-conscious, more and more people are hitting the gym or out pounding the pavement to get in shape, not to mention participating in the burgeoning amount of fitness classes readily available these days, ranging from boxing and HIIT to crossfit and spinning.
But before you get in on the action, you’ll need your trusty companion — the sports bra. While it used to serve a purely functional role, the sports bra is now a fashion icon in its own right, coming in an array of prints, colours and designs that are so stylish, you can even wear it on its own. Here are the best sports bras to perk up your fitness regime.
Splurge:
Who says feminine girls can’t be fierce at the same time? Prove to the world that you’re not the gentle sex by rocking this feminine pink sports bra with a pair of neat tights while sweating it out at the weight machines.
Sporting a bright seafoam green and an elasticated strap on the back, this piece by Fendi is fashionable and functional at the same time. Match yours with a pair of grey sweats to let this pop.
Add a dose of grandeur into your gym ensemble with this Versace sports bra, which features the maison’s iconic baroque print. Wear this piece out to the malls with a pair of ripped denim jeans, your boyfriend’s shirt (unbuttoned) and some strappy heeled sandals.
Made out of a mid-weight stretchy fabric, this racer-back piece provides a close, compression fit. It also features bold and vibrant star patterns, which is guarantee to stand out in the sea of blacks, especially if you wear yours with a pair of matching leggings.
Designed in a soft and comfortable stretch cotton material, this Nagnata sports bra is made for a swift transit from a yoga class to a brunch date after. Rock yours with a pair of black cycling shorts and some sneakers.
Drawing inspiration from the pathways of light refracted through a prism, this sports bra features prints of multi-coloured angular lines that give it a sci-fi vibe. It’s eye-catching and fun, so wear it with a pair of neon yellow leggings to up the playful factor. Perfect if you’re a space odyssey fanatic.
Stand out in the crowd and channel the ’70s vibe with this bra top that sports vibrant splashes of bohemian prints. Finish the look by wearing it with the label’s matching logo printed leggings. Throw on a black blazer and slip into some white sneakers to wear it out for dinner.
If you’re not a fan of hardcore workouts, this piece from P.E Nation is suitable for you. Its padding-free design allows you to do light exercises in style. Match it with a pair of retro-print leggings to complete the look.
Steal:
With an elasticated underband and a sculpting double-lined stretch fabric, this loud piece is not just for show — it provides good support for high impact activities and ensures you’re well protected against the risk of back pain and soreness. Tone down the hue by matching it with a pair of black leggings.
We love this flirty neon pink sports bra from H&M that features built-in padded cups and an elastic back band. Not only does it provide the necessary support you need, it’s also fashionably bold and fun. Best of all, it features adjustable straps for maximum comfort.

Take your pedestrian black sports bra up a notch. Instead of picking something plain from the racks, opt for one that features an interesting lace detail at chest. Not only does it add depth to your full-black ensemble, it’s also super sexy and feminine.
Featuring camouflage prints and a flexible four-way stretch fabric in-built with SPF 30+ protection, spice up your activewear collection with this utilitarian-styled sports bra. Wear it underneath a racer back tank top and a pair of leggings for a fierce and edgy vibe.
