Best Street Sport Bralettes

April 10, 2015. Leave a Comment

If you’re a member of the Itty Bitty Titty & Proud club, for the most part, you’re happy with your cup size. Sure, some days you may feel more envy than admiration for the woman with bountiful bosoms and neck turning cleavage but the moment passes and you remember all the pluses of small boobs, like fewer issues with fitting into tops, not having to manage bounce when working out and best of all, not having to wear a bra at all  if you don’t feel like it. Plus, since smaller boobs are literally less bodacious, there is more room for them be seen without causing a scene, whether in the form of some “innocent” side boob or barely concealed by a dope bra worn under a gauzy top.

Those  on the hunt for bras that combine fashion with a sporty street edge know a few things. First, most bras are designed for larger cup sizes and even when they’re sized down, they’re usually still doing too much in terms of padding, coverage and in the case of sports bras compression. Lord knows an A cup size is small enough, with a lot of sports bras, they’re borderline squished and uni-boobed into non existence. No thanks.

Keeping all these factors in mind, here are 13 of our favorite bras. All of them have that design edge we like, won’t give you squished uni-boob, can make a fashion statement peaking out from under a skimpy top and in most cases can handle a workout. The downside is that they’re all on the costly side with the two lowest priced, an American Apparel and Calvin Klein bra priced at $29.99. Yes, there are cheaper options out but we prefer to give nods to the originators, plus, let’s face it, with lingerie you get what you pay for. Having worn copycat garments from retailers like H&M and Urban, the reality is those items don’t hold up as long or have other issues like fabrics that don’t hold up and itchy seams.

All three of these Adidas items are actually swimsuits that include removable foam padding, though if you possess a smaller cup size, bras don’t necessarily have to be born that way. Above, Adidas Iconic Bionic: $54

Calvin used to be a friend of the small cup club but abandoned it when it became a Victoria’s Secret wannabe years ago. That said, with ’90s themes raging back, you can’t go wrong with this logo bralette. Available in multiple colors and priced at $29

Love&LemonsLoveYouKnotBondageBralette73

For Love and Lemons is most definitely a good friend to the Itty Bitty Club and while this Bondage bralette price at $73 (the brand’s best selling bra) looks complicated, the fit is both amazing and comfortable.

The whole exchange brings up the question, are we entering into a post legacy luxury label world?
