Not sure where to begin your search? No problem! Read on to receive four tips on finding the right sports bra.

Tip #1: Find Your Bra Size

Did you know that 80% of women wear the wrong bra size? There's nothing worse than wearing straps that are too tight or struggling with an uncomfortable band. Finding a quality bra that offers a high level of comfort and support is crucial to ensuring a seamless workout. If you don't know what size sports bra you wear, then you may need to go in for a professional fitting. 

Tip #2: Learn About the Different Types of Sports Bras

Encapsulation Sports Bra: This type of bra uses a defined cup structure to surround and support each breast separately for maximum support. Similar in style to everyday bras, encapsulation bras are ideal for those with larger busts as well as high-impact activities.

Compression Sports Bra: Unlike an encapsulation sports bra, a compression bra is most commonly seen in a pullover style and does not have cups built into the design. Instead, the bra compresses the chest to restrict movement and works well for smaller cup sizes.

Padded Sports Bra: For those who want a little something extra that provides a sleek look under clothes, a padded sports bra is the way to go! Not only does it feature lightly padded cups that provide impressive shape, but you'll love the bright color options available to customize your outfit the way you want it.

Tip #3: Consider the Details and Features of the Sports Bra

It's no surprise when your body begins to perspire during an activity. To help you stay dry and fresh during your workout, opt for moisture-wicking technology to help lift sweat from your skin. Additional sports bra features include ventilation, underwire, and various types of straps for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Each feature serves an important purpose to give you the versatility, fit, and support you need.

From straps and back closure to underwire and fabrics - everyone has different preferences when it comes to bra material and style. And it's no different when it comes to your women's athletic shoes and workout clothes. We believe that the right activewear for you is the one that brings you that extra dose of confidence for whatever activity you undertake!

Tip #4: Pick the Right Level of Support

The level of bra support that you will need is dependent on the type of activity you'll be completing.

In general, low-impact sports bras provide the lightest level of support and are perfect for low-impact activities such as yoga, walking, and weight lifting. Featuring a seamless design and moisture-wicking technology, you're sure to stay comfortable throughout your entire workout.

Medium-impact sports bras, on the other hand, are better suited for more rigorous activities like jogging, cycling, and hiking. For fuller-busted women with an active lifestyle, you'll find a wide selection of full-coverage sports bras with wide, adjustable shoulder straps to deliver a compressive fit.

Finally, high-impact sports bras offer the maximum support possible for running, HIIT, and aerobics, particularly for women with larger busts. This type of bra typically uses less stretchy material. Instead, you'll notice more features such as supportive seams and overlays, as well as additional hook and eye back closures to help you get your fitness routine back on track.

Now that you know how to find the right sports bra, prepare for your workout with sports bras from Kohl's! No matter what awaits you, we have just what you need to get you through your next adventure. Shop Kohl's for your active apparel and accessories!
