During the summer months, nothing feels worse than suffocating under layers of clothes. Going for a run can mean wearing a sports bra, then a tank, sometimes an additional please don’t ogle me as I jog t-shirt, and even a pullover if you’re starting your run early in the morning and the air is still sporting a pre-sunrise chill. Ending a run and having to do the sweaty contortionist act of trying to remove those layers is even worse. This is where sports bras that feel like your comfiest sleep cami come in. Fan favorite activewear brand, Ethos, has created the perfect basic sports bra for when you’re looking for no patterns, gimmicks, pockets, or straps: The Ethos Back to Basics Sports Bra.

Ethos Back to Basics Sports Bra — $38.00

The Back to Basics Sports Bra ($38) is the ultimate closet staple. It comes in sizes XXSmall to XXLarge, so there is an option to fit most bodies, and since it isn’t covered in logos or prints, it’s great to wear for a low impact workout, to sleep, or even as a summertime “Who me? I’m just Sporty Spice” top. While the light support, removable cups, and thin spaghetti straps don’t scream, “Work out in me!” the bra is versatile enough to handle a sweaty hot yoga session. The mesh lining and sweat-wicking fabric are sure to keep you dry (well, at least not dripping an ocean onto your mat during child’s pose), and the buttery soft fabric, is perfectly supportive and prevents chafing. As an added bonus, the tag-free design also means that there will be no need for constant mid-workout readjusts or anything digging into your spine. Reviewers tout how comfortable the bra is, saying that “you forget that you’re wearing anything at all.”

If you are looking for an option with a bit more support, the brand has an answer to those prayers too. For the same price, the Make It Count Bra ($38), has thicker straps and a strappy back design that makes that style more compressing and jump proof. Both styles of the basic, closet-staple bra pair well with any black legging or biker short you may pull from your overflowing drawer of athleisure, but if you’re looking for a legging made out of the same magically comfortable material and to match the perfect shade of black, the Ethos All Day Leggings ($59) or the Crossover Leggings ($59) are great picks.
