Summer is here. I know this because I’m in Austin right now and it’s about 4 million degrees with 1 billion percent humidity. It’s uncomfortable and my hair won’t keep a curl so I’m annoyed. Luckily, I packed a TON of sports bras. Because now that it’s summer and our gym doesn’t have air conditioning, I rarely wear clothes. If you’ve never done a CrossFit style workout in a gym with no air conditioning, you don’t know what it feels like to get heat positioning. You get so uncomfortably hot, then you get chills, then you puke. Straight up.

But not this year! No way, Jose! I will be working out in sports bras all summer long and keeping heat exhaustion to a minimum. Which means I need cute ones AND supportive ones, especially on the running and double unders day. But since all of us ladies are different sizes and have different activities in and outside the gym, I’m sharing my favorite sports bras available at Nordstrom right now that range from low impact, to medium impact, to extra supportive. So no matter what shape you are, what support you need, or what activity you’re doing, you’ll be comfortable and looking stylish throughout the warm months. Even if it’s worn underneath a shirt AND in an air conditioned room.

Below I’m sharing my sports bra favorites whether you’re taking a barre class, spin class, running a marathon or whatever else you love!

  • The top row is minimum support: perfect for a barre class or yoga or pilates.
  • Middle row is medium support: great for a spin class or light weight lifting
  • Bottom row is for extra support: keeps everything in place during CrossFit or long runs

    I get that this is a sponsored post, which is *totally fine,* but I’d love it if there were more personal recommendations here! What’re your favorite sports bras/workout wear brands at Nordstrom, Juli? Any that have been particularly durable and held up to lots of washes?

    I would wear sports bras to Crossfit every day, too, if I had your abs!

    I love your posts! I got that $34 simple dress from Nordstrom and I love it.

    Ok, this is totally random, but I workout daily (hard) in heat and humidity and I have a tip on the puking/ chills you mentioned. When it’s hot, you need extra salt and potassium, or that will happen. I squeeze a lemon into water and add some Celtic salt, plus 1-2 Potassium tablets. I’ve not had the heat issues since.

    I like the Enell bra and the Shefit bra. I am a 32DDD (down from a 34G), both of these bras work great. The Enell bra isn’t pretty by any means, but it does a great job.

    I have been wearing the Warcoal Underwire Sports Bra for at least 6-8 years (bottom right in blue). It’s the only sports bra I wear. I’m a 36DDD, and play in competitive tennis leagues. I love this bra so much, I have bought it for my friend who complains she can’t find a great sports bra. It’s not attractive by any means, but it holds me in during the sprints, jumping and it’s just amazing. If you truly need a sports bra for high impact/running, this bra will not disappoint. It’s especially great if you have different size boobs, as my left is larger. It’s hard to explain without boring everyone, but I highly recommend trying this on.
