We’re on our third pick for Valentine’s day and today we’re concentrating on the sporty athlete - catch these beauties while you can!
The Athlete
The Athlete: Your athlete is always on the go and doesn’t have time for frilly designs or needless lingerie - she wants something that looks good, practical, and that can work indoors or out on a run. We’ve chosen these pieces to suit her need for simplicity, but also to flatter that body she’s been working so hard for.
A-D Cup Sizes
We’re loving this sporty set by VPL available at Catriona Mackechnie; its unusual, vibrant green colour reminiscent of summery, green tennis lawns. Made of 100% cotton and with a longer line, underbust band, it’s a great alternative for the athletic lingerie lover who normally relies on secret support vests.
On a seriously sporty level, this Natori White Label sports bra at $48 is underwired and has reinforced side cups for those who prefer something more supportive. It’s wide, shaped straps are great for lessening any discomfort you might otherwise get when jigging about, and they give the bra an elegant, almost dress-like look about it.
For another sporty alternative, how about this black, t-back bra by Wacoal at Bareneccesities $38? The practical, smooth cups are great for under a t-shirt, with its racer back still delivering the athletic feel you love, and the mesh detail makes it sexy for other athletic activities!
D+ Sizes
If you’re on the go, you can’t beat a good sports bra; in fact, if you’re bigger busted and you’re active, it’s essential! This white Enell sports bra $60 is front-fastening and has a full-coverage back, making it super supportive for the high-energy athlete. If you’re keen to get away from the usual white, the bra comes in 5 different colours, including crimson, perfect for Valentine’s day!
With colours in mind, this red Anita High Control bra is another great find for the larger-cup athlete. Available up to a jig-tastic G cup, the limited edition red bra is seam free, and has a scoop back for maximum support. Grab it while you can!
While support is always a must when exercising, we also realise the athlete does need some relaxation time. A black camisole,like this Cosabella Instinct Camisole available at Neiman Marcus $47, is sexy and keeps the sporty girl happy with comfort and simplicity.
Other Athlete Picks
A very sexy athlete’s choice is this navy blue Araks Yanelis & Liselott set available at Catriona Mackechnie. With silk satin panels on the bralette $106 and panties $77, this is bound to be a Valentine’s hit!
Practical, comfortable and supportive, this Underwire Torso Trim by Sassybax $75 will keep in place those bits the athlete wants to keep under control. A great alternative to the conventional bra, this sexy smooth ‘longline’ bra is designed to support the girls while helping to smooth your body to a svelte athletic beauty.
