The Lululemon Energy Bra continues to top the charts on 'best of' lists across the web, and it's easy to see why. For starters, this bra provides just the right amount of support for a wide variety of activities, from running to strength training and even yoga. It's also comfortable enough to be worn out and about, plus it comes in 14 different colors to match any outfit. This bra is extremely tight fitting, which is great for support, but can compromise comfort. We recommend sizing up the band for the best fit.
Sizes: 2-14 Colors: 14 colors including White, Pistachio, Lilac, and even 'Wee Are From Space Nimbus Battleship' (Grey) Best for: Everyday wear, yoga, and light training Support: Medium
The Lululemon Run Times Bra has been praised for supporting chests of all sizes during runs. The bra supports cups up to DDD and comes in four colors. We love that this high-support bra has comfortable features like an ultra-soft underband, a convenient hook-and-closure, and padded straps. It offers the highest support on this list, which makes it the perfect sports bra for runners. But because this bra is specifically designed for running, performing other workouts like yoga or strength training while wearing it may feel restrictive.
Sizes: 32 B - 42 DDD Colors: Melon Sorbet, Pink Peony, Black, Dark Olive Best for: Running Support: High
If you're looking for a sports bra that will keep you supported during downward dog but move with you through vinyasa, the Lululemon Flow Y Bra is a must for your next yoga class. It's supportive enough for yoga yet comfortable enough for everyday wear. We love the small straps and racerback back, which fits perfectly under various workout tops. Because of its minimal support, this bra is best for cup sizes A-C.
Sizes: 2-14 Colors: 11 colors, from Black to Cyan Blue and Bone Best for: Yoga Support: Light
Not only does the Enlite Front-Zip Bra offer high support for large chest sizes, but it's also extremely comfortable. The bra's bonded underband prevents it from digging into the skin, and the zip front makes it easy to get on and take off. An ideal bra for running or high-impact training, it provides high support without feeling too restrictive. This sports bra for large chests comes in more sizes than others on the list, which we love to see.
Sizes: 30 C - 40 D Colors: Kohlrabi Green, Wild Berry, Dark Olive, Liquidize Camo Mini WP Black Multi, Black Best for: Running Support: High
If you found the Flow Y and Energy Bra too restrictive, the Free To Be bra is a more lightweight version. Supportive enough for light workout classes like yoga, its minimalist design offers more comfort and flexibility than others on the list, making it ideal for smaller chests. Some wearers found discrepancies between the bra's colors online versus what arrived. So, if you're picky about your workout color palette, it may be best to shop in-store.
Sizes: 2-14 Colors: Kohlrabi Green, Lip Gloss, Utility Blue, Kelly Green, Cyan Blue, Hawaiian Blue, Flush Pink, Bone, White, Black Best for: Yoga, Everyday Wear Support: Light
The Lululemon Wunder Train Longline bra offers medium support, ideal for strength training. The bra allows you to move freely during weight lifting sets and movements while providing the right support to keep the girls in place. The high neckline is the chef's kiss on this bra, making it perfect for staying covered during strength training movements like deadlifts and kickbacks.
Sizes: 2-14 Colors: 12 colors including Black, Utility Blue, Flush Pink, and Hot Heat Best for: Yoga and light training Support: Medium
Luluemon's Like a Cloud bra is aptly named. This sports bra is soft, cushiony, and comfortable, providing adequate support for everyday wear as well as light workouts like yoga. These are the most comfortable cups you'll ever find in a sports bra. Unlike others on the list, we found this bra to fit true to size. Though this bra is moisture-wicking, reviews state that lighter colors of this bra make sweat more noticeable.
Sizes: 2-12 Colors: Twilight Rose, Cyan Blue, Java, Pink Peony, White, Black Best for: Yoga, everyday wear Support: Light
If you're unsure where the day may take you, slipping into the Lululemon Envital Bra ensures you're ready for any workout or hangout. This medium support bra is suitable for a variety of workouts, from yoga to running, plus it's stylish enough to wear out on its own or under your favorite tank. We love the sleek v-neck design and supportive criss-cross back and think you will, too.
Sizes: 2-14 Colors: Pistachio, Lilac Smoke, Utility Blue, White, Hawaiian Blue, Black Best for: Training Support: Medium
Longline bras offer all the benefits of a sports bra, with added coverage underneath the bust line. We love the new longline version of the Energy Bra for its versatility and design. Great for everyday wear and workouts, this bra features slick and low-friction support, making it extra comfortable to wear without the risk of chafing.
Sizes: 2-12 Colors: 12 colors including Black, Flicker Pace Utility Blue Multi, and Red Merlot Best for: Yoga and medium training Support: Medium
Sports bras aren't always the most comfortable or pleasant to wear. But of all the bras on the list, we think the Lululemon Align Bra is most likely to make you come around. Made from Lulu's signature buttery-soft and weightless Nulu fabric, its light support makes it easy to slip on and take off. Its light support makes it suitable for workouts like yoga, Pilates or for extra support taking a leisurely stroll or hike.
Sizes: 2-14 Colors: Black, Wee Are From Space Nimbus Battleship (Grey), White Best for: Yoga, everyday wear Support: Light

One thing that sets Lululemon sports bras apart from the rest is their signature fabric blends. Here's a look at the different options and what they're best for.
Luxtreme™: This sweat-wicking, four-way stretch fabric is cool to the touch. The Lululemon Energy and Free To Be bras are made of this smooth performance fabric.
Ultralu™: This fabric molds to the body with sweat-wicking and quick-drying performance properties to provide comfortable support, found in the Enlite Front-Zip bra.
Everlux™: This highly breathable fabric has fast-drying capabilities for the most intense workouts. The Lululemon Wunder Train Longline Bra features this fabric.
Nulu™: This buttery-soft fabric in the Lululemon Align Bra and Like a Cloud Bra delivers a weightless feeling while providing light support.
Lululemon bras are available in three levels of support:
Light Support – Designed for yoga, low-impact activities, and everyday wear. The Lululemon Flow Y Bra Nulu, Lululemon Free To Be Bra, Lululemon Like a Cloud Bra, and Lululemon Align Bra are all light support bras.
Medium Support – Designed for yoga and medium training, like weight lifting. The Lululemon Energy Bra, Lululemon Wunder Train Longline Bra, Lululemon Envital Bra, and Lululemon Energy Longline Sports Bra offer medium support.
High Support – Designed for running and high-impact activities. The Lululemon Enlite Front-Zip Bra and Lululemon Run Times Bra are high-support bras.
Similar to standard bras, Lululemon bras come in a variety of cup sizes and band sizes, as well as numerical sizing across different bra options. If you're not sure what size will fit you best, Lululemon offers complimentary video chatting with a sizing expert. You can also visit a Lululemon store for in-person sizing. There's also a three-step quiz you can take, along with the brand's size guide.
Here's a breakdown of popular Lululemon bra styles and their meaning.
Racerback: This bra style features a t-shape back strap, which connects the body's left and right sides. This is a popular option for running and high-impact workouts since the design provides added support, like the Lululemon Flow Y Bra Nulu.
Longline: Longline bras provide added coverage underneath the bust line. The added coverage makes them stylish to wear without a top, like the Lululemon Wunder Train Longline Bra and Lululemon Energy Longline Sports Bra.
Front-Zip: Front-zip bras are put on like a vest and zip in front, eliminating the need to pull the sports bra on overhead. They also provide added support, like the Lululemon Enlite Front-Zip Bra.
