Sportsister rounds up its pick of the best cropped top styles, designed to be worn as under or outer wear. Plus win a Sportjock bra.
Whenever you exercise you should always wear a sports bra, no exceptions. Without one your breasts move an average of nine centimeters (going up and down, in and out, and side to side). Wearing one will reduce bounce dramatically, making you more comfortable and helping to prevent sagging.
