Marie Meili Gym Bra Review

I've recently had a bit of a health kick (okay, it's on and off) but i thought after having joined the gym for over a month i might have to start investing in some proper gym kit. After scrolling through ASOS looking for some affordable gym tights (which by the way are very expensive for what they are) i started looking at gym bras. This was definitely something that i needed to invest in and surprisingly i have never actually owned one. I then remembered why...gym bra's are generally quite ugly. Surely a bra doesn't need to be that high up on your chest to keep your breasts in place? However, when i saw this Marie Meili bra for the small price of £18 I really couldn't resist.

STYLE:

As mentioned i love the scoop neckline on this bright pink sports bra, it makes it much more appealing for a younger customer. The back has to be my favourite characteristic though. It crosses over at the back, giving a great design detail, rather than the high back that most of the gym bras featured. I even felt that this was more supportive, keeping everything in place during exercise.

COMFORT:

I bought a size 12 in this bra, as even though i would normally wear a dress size 10, bras in size 12 normally fit my chest size better. I found this bra was perfect fit, therefore i would say that it is a fairly accurate fit to sizing. The fabric used is super soft and smooth and the bra has padded cups, which gives that extra support, the only downside being that the extra thickness of the bra makes it slightly warmer to wear. 

PURPOSE:

I know i have never had a sports bra before, but all i have to say is that everything stayed in place. I'm very happy with it. 

I also noticed when scrolling through ASOS looking for the pictures, that this has actually been reduced to £10 along with some other Marie Meili bra's...so i bought the same gym bra in a different colour for £12 (featured on the right)...you would be silly not to really.

Both can be bought on ASOS through the following links:
