Which Sports Bra is Best for Her?

Wear-It-All Day Bras

For bras that can easily be worn all day long, a lightweight bra will be a BFF. These comfy bras offer full coverage and a barely-there feel.

“We came up with a softer fabric for girls that has a little give and will keep them comfortable even as they continue to grow.”

Putting the “Sport” in Sports Bra

For more active or intense moves, like soccer matches or running, multi-layered fabrics and thicker, wide-strap, or racerback style straps will deliver a held-in, super snug feel. Bonus: all Nike Girls' bras are performance tested and made with Dri-FIT fabric to help wick that sweat away.

“We found that girls didn’t always like the band around the bottom, especially girls who hadn’t worn a bra before. So we use a lightweight bottom band to make the bra feel less constrictive.”
