This Not That: Athleta Purpose Crop Sports Bra

Okay, how have I not done a sports bra comparison yet?! I work out four days a week — I’m honestly embarrassed for myself. 😅

Let’s talk high neck sports bras, because they are everything when you want to rip your shirt off mid-workout without flashing the world your mom pooch. (Yes, some workouts are so intense I feel like I need to Hulk out of my top — no clue what that complex is, but here we are.)

I’ve been loyal to Athleta for years — their high neck bras are supportive, stylish, and give me the coverage I crave. But I recently went on a hunt for a dupe and y’all… I FOUND IT. 👀

This one from CRZ YOGA is flipping identical. Same fit, same function, same buttery-soft fabric. It holds up during high-impact workouts, even for my small melons (iykyk). I was genuinely shocked at how well it performs.

The only downside? Both bras have those annoying removable cups that shift around in the wash. I’m BEGGING brands — please give us a sewn-in cup version. I will literally pay extra. 🙏

If you want the look and feel of Athleta without the price tag, this dupe is a no-brainer.
