This $25 Sports Bra From Old Navy Is the Chicest Activewear Piece to My Name

My TikTok feed is overflowing with chic activewear — and boy, is it dangerous territory. My saving grace is that I'm served videos featuring brands at all price points, so I'm not only coming across Lululemon leggings and Alo Yoga bestsellers, but also more affordable brands like my personal favorite, Old Navy. The latest haul video to send me straight to the retailer's website was posted by a creator named @karlasibirian, who influenced me to scoop up the Old Navy Light-Support PowerChill One-Shoulder Longline Sports Bra ($25). Ahead, I break down everything you need to know about the trendy workout top so you can decide whether you need it, too. (Spoiler alert: you do.)

This piece is the definition of versatile. I slipped it on when my fiancé wasn't home, and when he walked in the door, he complimented my top without even realizing it was activewear. That's when I realized it could easily double as a going-out top when paired with jeans or a skirt instead of leggings or shorts.

It also fits like a dream. I ordered my usual size, medium, as well as a small in case the former felt too loose. Since it's a one-shoulder design, I wanted to ensure it fit snugly to stay in place during high-intensity workouts. I'm thrilled to share that it doesn't budge during squat jumps, burpees, treadmill runs, and the like.

One reason it fits so well is because it features a built-in shelf bra that's perfectly supportive for my 34C chest. (The cups are removable, FYI.) I was initially hesitant about the whole shelf-bra thing, fearing that it wouldn't actually replace my high-impact sports bra, but it's done just that.

This sports bra has predominantly five-star ratings and a small fraction of critical ones detailing similar complaints. The general consensus among reviewers is that it runs small, so you may want to consider sizing up or ordering two sizes to find your perfect fit. While I agree that it fits snugly, I personally wouldn't be as comfortable exercising in it if it were looser.

Another detail worth noting is that it's made of the brand's PowerChill fabric, just like the PowerChill leggings I previously fell in love with. Some shoppers expected the fabric to be sleek, smooth, and cool to the touch like nylon or lycra, but it's actually a soft cotton blend with a little texture. As implied by the name, the sports bra is designed for low-impact exercise, but in my experience, it's held up for more fast-paced workouts, too.

This Old Navy sports bra is great for those who want a stylish, high-quality workout piece that isn't astronomically priced. If you think you'll love it as much as I do, you should know that the brand carries an equally cute Old Navy One-Shoulder PowerChill 7/8-Length Bodysuit ($40). You can thank me later.
