I am looking for a new sports bra and possibly some leggings. For the bra, I would like something that has support, looks cute under a tank top (stylish straps but not a ton of cleavage), and doesn't give me a uniboob. Does that exist? Lol. I typically workout at home and right now wear some leggings that I got at Sam's club. They are ok but I am curious what everyone's favorites are. Thanks!

I like my sports bras from Lulu. I don't wear leggings much for working out because I prefer shorts, but I like my Wunder Unders from Lulu and my tights from Fabletics. I have some from Old Navy and I don't care for them too much. They are very thin and I can see them wearing out in the butt over time. They are now what I wear to clean the house.

I used to wear this bra from lululemon but recently switched to this Nike bra which makes me look perky like Laverne and Shirley in their sweaters. I'm a C cup.

Women's Running magazine's website had several articles on "best sports bras" for all cup sizes: womensrunning.competitor.com/search?q=sports+bra
I'm not very large on top, so I don't have much which needs support ... Target's C9 line works well for me. They hold up really well [edit - no pun intended!] - mine get used a lot and I'm not very careful about washing them - they just get tossed in with my other laundry.
Leggings - on the high price end, Dona Jo has cute and comfy patterns. Dona Jo Fitwear My favorites are the sugar skulls.
More moderately priced, Calvin Klein brand are nicely made and comfortable. I buy mine at Macy's when they are on sale. There's some cute patterns and the basic black are nice too.
I have some Fila leggings from Kohl's and I don't like the really wide elastic waistband.

I've actually had great luck with Old Navy. Super cheap and their stuff has held up for years for me, both leggings and sports bras. I'm a 38DD. Can't believe that a $10 cheapo sports bra works so well for me - I did half marathon training and ran 3 halfs in them!

No legging suggestions since I don't wear them Sports bra- Natori yogi convertible. I have four and love them! I wear a 32H so my girls need support! I actually like to wear them as daily bras. No uniboob. They have an underwire. Vthe straps can be worn straight or criss cross. I would give up all my other bras and only wear these! I did wear them my whole pregnancy! shop.nordstrom.com/s/natori-yogi-convertible-bra/3378483

Those sugar skulls tights are so cute!!!! I might have to order a pair! They are silky soft! Love them!!!
I forgot to mention another brand I like - Skirtsports. They sell leggings, running skirts, and sports bras.

I am super-picky with my sports bras. I recently got 4 new ones from Victoria's Secret and I like them! They at least give me a little perkiness since my boobs are almost non-exisant at this point. I have some pricey leggings from Bandier and yet my favorites come from.... Old Navy! I LOVE the high waist band on the compression leggings. I Crossfit so we do a huge range of exercise. I can lift weights, jump rope and do burpees in these things (amongst other things) without them ever moving off my waist. Check them out!

I love Zella leggings. They hold their shape and don't fade. I buy them at Nordstrom. They come in regular and plus sizes.
I've never found a sports bra that I absolutely love. I may try the Natori yogi convertible which is linked above.

I always buy Moving Comfort bras for running - they're super comfortable and supportive. And Lululemon tights/pants because the fabric/fit is great and they really last.

All of my sports bras are from Target (C9). It now looks like most of theirs have cups in them, but they're removable. For leggings, I like TekGear. I have both shorts and capris from them (got them at Kohl's), and wear them every day.

I have just recently made the switch from built-in bra tank tops (since they are just about impossible to find) to colorful bras and tanks. I picked up a couple of pretty bras at Academy- they're ok. I just about died though when I had to pay $30 for an Under Armour black tank- nothing to it- but it does feel good. I only wear leggings if it's FREEZING outside because I burn up in the gym. I have to have my bike shorts. Will be following this thread because I suffer from uni-boob, too.

I'm a runner and a 40DD...The Maia style from Moving Comfort is the best fitted, most comfortable and most supportive sports bra I've found and believe you me, I've got a drawer full of ones that are not. They are quite pricey at my local running store, but well worth every penny.

I like the selection and information about the sports bras at www.titlenine.com I've been shopping for a sports bra for myself since last fall, and found one I wanted to buy on this site. There are so many to choose from. I'm a 36DD and I wanted a moisture wicking bra and an underwire one that was comfortable. I've picked the Updated Cuz She Says So Bra. Turns out it's one of the bras in the Women's Running Magazine website on best sports bra that brab 74 linked. Sadly I can't give you any personal experience yet. I haven't ordered it yet because I got a wicked sinus infection last fall that I still have today! Until I get this darn thing cured I won't be exercising. But that's the bra I intend to buy, and if it turns out to be uncomfortable, I have plenty of others to choose from at the Title Nine site. As for leggings, or tights I buy a lot of my things at L.L Bean. I think they have a reasonable price and their quality is excellent. Their active wear line is great. The only thing I don't like is that they don't offer petite sizes . I'm only 5 foot 3 inches and really need a petite size on top, on the bottom I'm a regular. I hope that changes in the future.

Another Rpea who loves titlenine.com stuff. They'll talk to you, too, if you call them. Each bra they sell is specific to the needs of their customers. And returns are okay if you don't like the bra.

I love the C9 by Champion Premium leggings from Target. Zella leggings from Nordstrom are also great. I don't have any good sports bra recs for you. I wear the uniboob kind from Target.

Just got my new Title Nine catalog in the mail yesterday. They've got a great selection of tights and what I love is if you don't want to wear tights-shorts and pants for yoga, running etc. that aren't as snug as tights. They got great selection but their prices are higher than LLBean which is where I usually buy my bottoms. But their selection is better.

I have a large chest and require serious support from my sports bras. So, no cute bra suggestions from me. I love Lineagewear leggings, though. They're also on the expensive side, but they're excellent quality and come in awesome prints. lineagewear.com/

I like the old navy compression high waisted leggings. Has to be high waisted though. If not, I feel like they are falling off.
Wish I had the boob issue. I now resemble a 12 year old boy.
Please take a moment of silence for my boobs.
