Workout Bras that Fit and Flatter
A good sports bra is like an old friend—holds you close, offers comfort when you need it, and gives unconditional support. Which are the best? To find out, we gave 20 testers of different sizes—from a 32A to a 40DD and a 34FF—the newest styles to test-drive in their yoga workout, at boot camp, and while walking. Take their word for it, or try this dressing-room test: Jump up and down, swing your arms, and touch your toes. Pass on any that dig, pinch, or rub.
