15 Cute Sports Bra To Get You Motivated In 2016

by Eliza Florendo

I've been part of a gym for about eight months now, and I'd say that I've successfully gone for three, maybe. The struggle is real, but I'm thinking the trick is to invest in some cute sports bras to kick up my motivation. I mean, what got me to sign up for the gym in the first place was picking up a cool pair of sneakers and tricking myself into thinking I'd actually go.

At this point, the only way I'll go back to the gym is if someone takes my hand and forces me to walk there, makes me run on the treadmill, and watches me intensely as I lift some (baby) weights. My last savior is finding something cute that I just have to wear to the gym. Cue: the sports bras. And today, there's so many cool ones out there that I can even see myself wearing to brunch or even work!

With athleisure basically ruling 2015, it's more and more common to see people rocking the same thing to lunch as they would to the gym. Joggers have basically become the norm — I've definitely worn my Free Runs with a blazer and black trousers. Essentially, the line between work and play has pretty much blurred, which means ultimate comfort for all of us, and that, I definitely won't complain about.

So in honor of 2016 and my New Year's resolution of "gym-ing" more, here are 15 cute sports bras that'll definitely get you motivated — or at the very least, keep you cute and comfortable at brunch.

1. A Little Leopard Print

With a loose tank, this is the perfect bra to transition between yoga and lunch.

3. The '80s Throwback

Color blocking is always a good idea, and this bra proves just that.

8. Pretty Florals

Though this one's all about flowers, the blacks, greys, and greens keep it from feeling too girly.
