Sports bra for men: These tips will help you in your search
Hunkemöller has recently also added sports bras for men to its range. Mostly, however, men have to resort to sports bras for women.
- Finding a suitable model in the women's department is not easy. For one thing, the size has to be right. Men usually have a larger chest size than women. Here the underbust is meant. As a man, you probably need a large size on the lower chest band.
- The basket must also fit. We show you how to measure the bra size correctly in a separate article.
- Sports bras with closures are less suitable for men. Bustiers with a ring back are more suitable here.
- When choosing, make sure that the straps are not too close to the neck. This is how you prevent the straps from sticking out of the neckline of your T-shirt.
- Ideally, the sports bra is not visible under the shirt. For this reason, pay attention to a seamless variant. In terms of color, the sports equipment should not shine through the shirt. The best way to achieve this is to wear dark shirts while doing sports.
- The straps should be wide enough so that the sports bra can serve its purpose. Spaghetti straps do not provide the necessary support.
- In most cases, a sports bra shouldn't just give men more support. It should also visually conceal, so it is best to hide the chest. An alternative to a sports bra would be a breast bandage.
- If you cannot find a suitable sports bra, a compression shirt can be a replacement.
