With so many sport bras on the market, it can be a little difficult to figure out what you need - it all depends on your size & shape and the exercise that you're doing. 
  
Here's my top three tips to keep in mind when searching for the right sports bra. 
  
1. Get fitted - I cannot recommend this enough. You need to have a sports bra (and bra in general) that fits your correctly. Wearing a bra that is either too small or too large means that you're not going to be comfortable or supported, which could lead to damaged breast tissue due to bouncing. Head to your local lingerie store and ask to be fitted professionally. 
  
2. Know what you need from your bra - high performance exercise is going to need a bra that offers more support and reduces bounce, so just a crop top isn't going to provide that. Also if you have a larger bust you're also going to require more support for lower impact exercise. Crops are perfect for workouts like yoga and Pilates, otherwise a sports bra with underwire is essential. 
  
3. Features - just because a bra is pretty doesn't mean it's going to offer you the support you need. Here’s some of my key features to look out for when purchasing. 
·         Moisture wicking fabric is breathable and is going to keep you drier and cooler for longer. 
·         Padded straps are going to ensure there's no major digging or extra pressure on your shoulders 
·         Double layered fabric is going to ensure that there's no rubbing or discomfort.
