I love running outside, but lately, I’ve been hooked on spinning class, which means I’ve been spending more time at the gym. But no matter what kind of workouts I do, I’m obsessed with getting new workout clothes. I especially enjoy dressing in technical fabrics: they breathe so nicely and I feel like I can move around easily. Aside from the more practical reasons to get workout gear, I feel a little taller, a little cuter and a lot more athletic when wearing it. Here are 10 sports bras that can fit any price range (many of them my top picks!).
Fitting Tip: Tame those tatas! I have a specific trick for deciding whether a bra is workout-approved. It is somewhat silly, but when trying a sports bra on, I jump around and run in place in the dressing room to make sure that the bra can handle me!
For the Detail Fanatic: $48 (there is free shipping all the time at Lululemon Online!). Why is this worth the splurge? Aside from its fantastic material and pattern, where else can you find a sports bra back that looks like that?

For the Skinny-Strap Lover: $40. From Under Armor. While this is a somewhat classic look for a sports bra, it has a revamped modern appeal with the adjustable, narrow straps.

For the Motivation-Seeker: $32. From Dicks Sporting Goods. I’m a fan of running in just a sports bra and a cute pair of shorts on nice summer days. Even if you don’t enjoy baring too much skin, knowing you have something cute on underneath with an inspirational saying is always a boost.
