FAQs

How do I choose the right support level for my black sports bra?

Match the support level to your activity intensity. Light support works well for yoga, Pilates, and walking. Medium support suits most gym sessions, including weight training and spin classes. High-impact styles are designed for running, HIIT, and plyometric exercises. Consider your cup size too - those with larger busts typically benefit from higher support levels even during moderate activities.

What sizes are available in the black sports bra collection?

This range includes sizes from XS to XXL, with many styles offering extended sizing options. Each product page includes a detailed size guide with measurements for chest, waist, and hips. For the best fit, measure yourself and compare your measurements to the size chart before ordering. If you're between sizes, consider sizing up for more coverage or down for a more compressive fit.

How should I care for my black sports bras to maintain their quality?

Wash your sports bras in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the elasticity and colour. Avoid fabric softener, which can break down moisture-wicking properties and reduce breathability. Air drying is best - tumble drying can damage elastic fibres and cause premature wear. For heavily soiled items, pre-soak in cold water before washing.

Can I wear these black sports bras for everyday activities, not just workouts?

Absolutely. The comfortable designs and breathable fabrics make these pieces suitable for all-day wear. Many people choose sports bras for running errands, travelling, or relaxing at home because they offer freedom of movement without underwires or restrictive structures. The black colourway looks sleek under casual tops and hoodies.

What fabrics are used in these black sports bras?

The collection features a variety of performance fabrics including nylon, polyester, and elastane blends. Seamless styles use soft, stretchy knits for a smooth finish, whilst structured designs incorporate firmer fabrics with strategic support panels. All materials are chosen for their moisture-wicking properties, durability, and comfortable stretch.

How do I style a black sports bra for a complete gym outfit?

Try matching with black leggings for a sleek monochrome look, or contrast with bright-coloured bottoms for a bolder statement. Layer under a mesh tank or oversized tee for extra coverage, or wear solo with high-waisted leggings for a streamlined silhouette. Add a zip-up hoodie for warming up and cooling down.

Are these black sports bras suitable for all body types?
