Women's sportswear by activity

This is the full women's clothing range, from adidas, Nike, Under Armour, Puma, Reebok, Libra, Pepla and more. The quickest way through it is to start with what you will do in it.

• Gym and training: leggings, tank tops and sports bras, with the biggest leggings ranges from adidas, Nike and Under Armour.
• Running: lightweight tops, shorts and leggings made to manage sweat.
• Swimming: burkinis, rashguards, swim leggings and swimsuits.
• Everyday: T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, track tops and tracksuits.

How much support does your sports bra need?

Sports bras here are labelled by support level, and that label is the best guide. Light support suits barre, pilates or all-day wear, as on the adidas Hyperglam Rib Bralette and the Nike Swoosh Light Support bra. Medium support is the most common level here, made for gym workouts and medium-impact training, on bras from adidas, Nike and Under Armour. Some, like the Nike Swoosh Medium-Support Padded bra, have sewn-in pads that stay in place. For high-impact sessions, the SQUATWOLF Serpent Zip Up bra is listed as high impact, with a full front zip.

Modest sportswear and swimwear

For full coverage in the water, Libra makes full-body suits and two-piece burkinis, plus swim leggings with four-way stretch that the listing says stay secure and do not ride up. Pepla makes rashguards and swim turbans in the same quick-dry fabric as its swimwear. adidas adds a Padded Full-Cover Swimwear Set with a long-sleeve top and matching pants.

If you are building a training kit, start with a medium-support bra and a pair of leggings, then add a top for the gym or a run. You can also shop women's sports bras, leggings or swimwear and burkinis.
