If there's one fitness essential we really can't live without, it's a great sports bra [1]. If we show up to the gym and have forgotten to pack one, it's game over. However, not all sports bras are created equal, and it seems as though most people have strong opinions on which styles reign supreme. We asked our Instagram followers [2] about their favourite sports bra [3], and the comments did not disappoint. In fact, this editor may have just found a few new styles to test out. Whether you're looking for something super high-impact and supportive or comfortable enough to wear all day, our audience has got you covered. Keep on reading to shop their top picks [4]!
