The rise of the sexy sports bras and which one is best for your bust
SPORTS bras have long been that despised, unflattering item of gym wear that serves no other purpose than keeping your boobs firmly in place.
But not anymore. Ann Summers' recent active range heralds a new era in the athleisure trend, where sports bras are actually SEXY.

The high street lingerie store's collection, priced between £20 and £30, is designed to be worn not only as underwear, but as a top in its own right.
They come with matching bottoms, and the outfits are guaranteed to turn heads in your spin class.
Ok, so they might not be the most supportive when it comes to the bounce test.
But thankfully there's a huge variety of sports bras on the market right now that allow you to be sweaty and sassy at the same time...

Last year we tested out a range of sports bras to see if they passed the "bounce test".
And after London nanny Kimberley Williams was mortified to learn her Puma leggings were see-through, we put some other fitness leggings to the squat test to see which brands’ will leave your behind exposed.
Surprisingly, it was the M&S leggings that came out on top.
