The 10 Best Longline Sports Bras, According To Reviewers

This longline sports bra top not only has a 4.4-star overall rating after more than 19,000 reviews, but it also comes in over a dozen colors including neutral and pastel hues. It features a built-in shelf bra and removable padding, plus the fabric wicks away moisture to keep you feeling dry. One reviewer described: “Great for a hot day because they eliminate the need for a bra and the material is made for sweat!” While the manufacturer indicates that the bra is made for high-impact activities, reviews have reported that it’s better suited for low- to medium-impact workouts, such as yoga and walking, rather than running.

One reviewer wrote: “First true to standard sizing and holds everything in place. Does not stain easily and great quality. I’ve heard these are a dupe for a very expensive brand and while I don’t own any pieces from the ‘real’ brand, I will attest that this is amazing quality and value for the price and worth the investment.”

Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large | Available colors: 14 | Material: 80% polyamide (aka nylon) and 20% spandex | Support level: Low to medium (according to reviewers) | Moisture-wicking: Yes | Machine washable: Yes

This pull-on longline sports bra by New Balance has a compression fit and wide band to help minimize bouncing without being restrictive, plus a nylon-spandex blend to keep you dry through a sweaty workout. According to the manufacturer, it’s best worn for low- to medium-impact activities, like cycling or hiking. One reviewer mentioned that “even with larger bra sizes,” it can offer solid support. The sports bra comes with removable padding for extra coverage where you want it.

One reviewer wrote: “Surprisingly supportive, comfortable too [...] I don’t spill out of the top like I do in most sports bras. The longer bottom band doesn’t roll or fold up like others. Very supportive with good compression and comfortable. This will be great for hiking, yoga, pilates, weight training and moderate walking. If you have a smaller chest it would work for running.”

Available sizes: Small — X-Large | Available colors & styles: 3 | Material: 93% nylon and 7% spandex | Support level: Medium | Moisture-wicking: Yes | Machine washable: Yes

With a zippered front closure (and an extra clasp at the top), this longline sports bra is easy to get on and off compared to similarly styled bras. The bra’s wide criss-cross straps and molded cups provide sturdy support while offering extra coverage. Although this sweat-wicking bra is made for high-impact activities, reviewers have mentioned that it is still comfy to wear. One reviewer wrote, “It is so comfortable that I actually choose to wear it throughout the day sometimes.” Just keep in mind that you’ll have to hand wash it between workouts. Choose from among six options, in both solid colors and prints.

One reviewer wrote: “I love the product! It fits well and holds its shape. I love the zipper as it makes it so much easier to take on and off, especially after working out when I’m sweaty!”

If support is what you’re after, Champion’s longline sports bra has a compression fit along with padded racerback straps. Many reviewers have reported that it’s even supportive enough for larger busts — one shopper described, “I’ve had my challenges with sports bras as I am a busty lady,” adding that “this bra is so comfortable and fitting.” Although it’s not marketed as a longline bra, a reviewer proclaimed it’s longer than your run-of-the-mill sports bra. The moisture-wicking bra also features removable foam padding, plus mesh details for breathability. Wear it for low- to medium-impact workouts, and choose from six colorways.

One reviewer wrote: “Fit is perfect. The bra stays put. It doesn’t dig in anywhere. It’s totally comfortable. I don’t willingly run, but if I have to the support is even great for that.”

Available sizes: X-Large — 4X-Large | Available colors: 6 | Material: Nylon and spandex | Support level: Medium | Moisture-wicking: Yes | Machine washable: Yes

Constructed with moisture-wicking fabric and a large mesh back panel, this longline sports bra is designed to keep you cool and dry. The medium- to high-impact racerback bra has a wide band and removable padding to help keep everything in place as you run, jump, and move. One reviewer wrote that it’s “extremely comfortable and supportive at the same time.” With that said, some reviewers have mentioned that it’s a little challenging to get in and out of this bra — a small tradeoff for the support it can offer you. Shop it in 11 color options or as a pack of two for a few more dollars.

One reviewer wrote: “I absolutely love this longline bra. It fits just right, not too tight and no gaps anywhere. It has just the right amount of push-up and support. The mesh detail in the back is beautiful. I took it for a run and it was so comfortable.”

Offered in 30 colorways ranging from bright to neutral shades, this longline sports bra can totally transition from a workout to a day out and about. One reviewer who purchased it as an “everyday crop top” wrote, “This is perfect for wearing as a top with high waisted pants and skirts, without having to sweat through normal bras.” It features a high-neck design, a wide band, and a built-in shelf bra with removable padding for support during low- to medium-intensity workouts.

One reviewer wrote: “I was looking for something a little longer than a typical sports bra length to cover down over my rib cage. Looks great with high-waisted leggings. Material is nice and thick enough to support your chest but not too thick that it’s suffocating.”

Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large | Available colors & styles: 30 | Material: 80% nylon and 20% spandex | Support level: Low to medium | Moisture-wicking: Yes | Machine washable: Yes

Cute overlapping straps in the back add playfulness to this longline sports bra’s otherwise classic cut. Reviewers have attested that the built-in support (which comes with removable padding) is great for medium-impact workouts, with one shopper writing that the “sweat-wicking material works great for tough workouts and it feels exactly the same as my Energy bras from Lululemon.” Something worth noting, though: Some shoppers have noted that the fabric is slightly see-through in some of the lighter colors. But with dozens of hues to choose from, including prints, you should be able to find one that looks great and makes you feel confident.

One reviewer wrote: “I run and hike in this bra and it’s supportive and cute! I got it in purple and I might get it in other colors. It’s nice quality for the price, and if you live in a warm climate it’s nice to wear as a crop top if you're going to do something outside. It’s cute enough to wear out with friends too.”

Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large | Available colors: 33 | Material: 71% polyamide (nylon) and 29% spandex | Support level: Medium | Moisture-wicking: Unspecified by manufacturer, but some reviewers have claimed it is | Machine washable: Yes

This longline sports bra has a back cutout that doesn’t just make for a cute detail — it also provides more breathability for your sweatiest workouts. Some reviewers have confirmed it’s ideal for high-intensity workouts and running due to its compression and wide straps and band. But other customers report: “I would call this medium impact if you have a large chest,” wrote one reviewer, “Perfect for walking and strength training.” The removable padding offers additional coverage where needed, and you can snag it in 11 different styles and colors, including versions with cutouts both in the front and back.

One reviewer wrote: “I’ve been looking for a longline sports bra that isn't stretchy, this one is perfect. It's firm and keeps you under control, but its still lightweight and breathable, I love this!”

Under Armour’s longline sports bra provides comfortable support for low-impact workouts. It features dainty, adjustable straps that criss-cross in the back and a stretchy knit band. Many reviewers have agreed that it offers full coverage even outside the gym — one reviewer wrote, “Great coverage for us naturally larger chested gals,” while another described it as being “comfortable and super supportive without the dreaded uniboob!” The sports bra is made of a moisture-wicking material (in 21 different colors!) and comes with removable padding.

One reviewer wrote: “I have tried countless sports bras, and owned so many different types of brands. This is forever my fallback. For anyone with a larger bust (I also have implants) this keeps the girls in check, supported, cute colors, and the comfiest material without being too tight on your shoulders/ribs. I weight lift and do yoga in this bra and it works for both movements. I also wear it casually around the house! You won’t be disappointed!”

This longline sports bra might look simple from the front, but turn it around and you’ll find a pretty wrap detail. Wide straps provide support for medium-impact activities, and one reviewer described it as “stretchy and supportive but not too binding that I can’t breathe easily.” The bra has moisture-wicking fabric and removable padding for the cups. Some reviews have noted that it runs small, so you might want to size up. Shop it in more than a dozen colors and prints, including versions with a strappy back instead of wrap design.

One reviewer wrote: “I’ve been hunting for the perfect longline sports bra for yoga, and this is by far my favorite out of the 5+ I've tried. [...] It is SO comfortable and supportive! I actually ran in this yesterday with zero bounce. Highly recommend. Super cute too!”
