A comfortable, supportive and stylish sports bra is an essential in every women’s workout arsenal, but finding the right style for your workout (and fashion taste) is easier said than done. According to Elodie Giorgis, Head Design Technician at Intimo Lingerie, “activity level, size, fabric and underwires are all important considerations when selecting the right sports bra. The correct combination of each of these design aspects is what will provide you with the right support, and also help to minimise movement and bounce.”
