I'm talking about a proper sports bra with hooks and cups. Not a crop top style. I know a lot of people buy online, but I don't have a go to style/size, so I need to try it on. It usually takes me four or five goes to find a good one.

Can anyone recommend? I've heard Nike, but the one in Itaewon only seemed to have the crop top style. Do department stores have them?

Wow, no one?

I broke and bought the Nike style. I guess I'll see how it goes. If anyone knows the answer to my original question, I'd still like to know.

I always buy online from Fig Leaves. I've never seen bras outside of the frilly/cute/sexy type and they wouldn't have my size here, anyway.

Even though you dont like online-shopping, I think you can do pretty good research - they have detailed size guides and measuring instructions. And Fig Leaves in particular usually has a tonne of really detailed reviews.

I bought a Shock Absorber online in my usual size, I haven't seen a decent sports bra anywhere here.

Thanks for the info. I don't actually dislike online shopping, I just find that of any piece of clothing, bras need to be tried on. I generally find measurements given to not be helpful in this situation. Even when I get measured up in store, I usually need to try several on before I find a good one.

If there's a brand you know from home, and you know your size, see if you can find it online. I only bought mine because I've worn them for years and knew my size, I also find bra size differs between brand and also style/shape.
