When it comes to activewear, a good, soft but durable sports bra is worth its weight in gold.
It’s why when I find one I like, I’m likely to buy several different colourways and styles if they sell it.

I discovered the brand and their buttery soft leggings, tops and bras last year, and can’t move past it for style, silky smooth comfort and — crucially — affordability.
The CRZ Yoga Women’s Strappy Back Wirefree Padded Workout Yoga Sports Bra will set you back just $43.99 — a fraction of the price of other leading brands like The Upside, Lululemon and Nimble.
The bra — which comes in a number of colours whether you’re after something neutral such as khaki or purple or petrol blue — promises a “naked feeling” on the body, and it more than delivers on this.
It’s so comfortable you could sleep in it.
Not only this, but the sports bra is also made of lightweight, soft and stretchy fabric.
This means that it’s breathable and sweat-wicking to keep you dry when you work out, but smooth and seamless if you simply wish to wear it with a T-shirt and lounge around on the sofa.
Fixed bonded criss-cross straps on the back add an element of fashion and back support to the piece, while wire-free soft cups with removable pads are very comfortable and provide enough support without squashing
CRZ Yoga recommends you wear it for everything from yoga to Pilates, weight lifting and walking.
The bra is insanely popular online, where it has close to 5000 glowing reviews and many calling it “the best sports bra ever”.
“I love this sports bra. It’s soft and comfortable and comes in the most amazing colours,” one shopper writes.
“The coverage is excellent (no cleavage and no side boob!) They also wash and wear really well (I have had some of mine for years and wash and wear them every week).”
Another adds: “Like Lululemon but better!
“What a deal! This brand and bra have all the same qualities, colour varieties, and style of other brands but BETTER!
“The price of these are unbeatable for getting visually the same item as other brands.
“The soft material makes this an item I always reach for when working out. I feel supported and comfortable all throughout my workout!”
A third says: “Lovely material and great value for money”.
It’s not the only CRZ Yoga piece that flies off the shelves at Amazon Australia either.
Shoppers also love the famous CRZ Yoga Butterluxe High-Waisted Lounge Leggings.
The leggings are popular with women the world over, who have posted about them on Instagram and TikTok.
Many have compared them to the supremely popular Lululemon Align Pants ($119) — but they’re a fraction of the price.
Like Lululemon, the leggings feature ultra-stretchy material for ultimate comfort, and squat-proof fabric that ensures no visible underwear line beneath.
Made from “butterluxe” material — which is a blend of polyamide and lycra — the leggings are as comfortable as they sound.
But they also manage to ensure you feel fully supported, principally due to a “gusset crotch” which “conforms to your curves without feeling too tight and avoids camel toe during exercise”.
Those who have bought the leggings swear by them, and there are thousands of glowing reviews on Amazon — where women say they have them in multiple colours.
“These leggings are so soft and buttery. I’m 5’4” (1.62m) and the length is perfect. The fit is great — perfect mix between having compression and being stretchy. It holds me together,” one reviewer wrote.
Another commented on the comparison to Lululemon Align pants: “My friend recommended these … I was sceptical, but she was so insistent. To be honest, it was pretty stinking close.
“While wearing them, I couldn’t feel a difference between them and my Aligns. If you had asked me without me actually knowing what I had on, I would have said Aligns. Felt the same”.
