Squared Up Bra

This is my favorite running bra I have ever tried!!! I'm a size 34/36C and I wear a size 6 in all things Oiselle. My previous favorite was the hi 20 bra and while I still love her, I prefer the higher cut of the squared up bra. The squared up genuinely feels like a hug without feeling too restricting. I love the breathability of the open back, and the straps are the perfect width. I also love how simple the design is and the combo of functionality and style. I love it so much I got it in two colors!! You have to try!!!!

Purchased a couple of these in different colors because they were on sale but, ugh they run so large!! Clearly disappointing since i can't return or exchange. I've always done an 8 in Oiselle clothes and bras but this wasn't it. Not supportive.

I love the squared up running top. After a long hot run I can get out of the bra easily using the back hooks. Everything is perfect except for the removal pads which wind up as more landfill. PLEASE give us an option to skip the pads if we don’t use them. Help save the environment 2 pads at a time.

Love this bra and the way it fits. No digging into your shoulders or rolling up under your chest. Easy to get off with the hook enclosure.

Years ago I purchased several sports bras with a back clasp that they don’t make anymore, and I finally decided to find another one. I personally feel like the back closure is a must because I don’t like dragging a tight, sweaty bra over my head. If you’re the kind that needs to bring your bra clasp to the front and then scoot it around, this probably won’t work for you. Otherwise, I’m a 36B and ordered a 12. The inside is not as soft as my old bras, but it isn’t scratchy. I ran 8 miles in it and there was no chafing. Support was as good as my old go-to’s as well. Interestingly, because of where the straps are across the back, I find I tend to bring my shoulders back into better posture more. I read this same result on a gear review blog, so I don’t think I’m imagining it. Works great for what I want, and I would definitely buy more!

As I get older, I sweat more (thanks peri-menopause!!) and my non-adjustable bras are sometimes impossible to get off! This one is perfect! Open in the back for heat regulation, cute fit, and a closure in the back. I already bought another and I want alllll the colors now!

I really wanted to love this, but I have a bad rotator cuff and couldn't get the back closed. Serious doubts about being able to get it off after a race when it's wet. Also it would be great to either not have the padding or have it sewn in.

This has easily become my absolute favorite running bra! It's so comfortable and I love the back design. For reference I am 5'6" and 32B. I love compression bras and this one is top notch.

This is probably the fourth or fifth bra I've purchased from Oiselle hoping it will be my new favorite running bra, and once again (I'm no longer surprised), this isn't it.

Pros: You aren't going to dislocate a shoulder trying to remove it courtesy of the hook & eye closure, and the color/pattern is lovely. It's comfy to wear most of the day around the house, and would be fine for lifting/walking/biking/low-impact whatever.

Cons: I had to size down TWO SIZES to get any sort of support (a long-standing complaint I have with Oiselle bras - I am BEGGING you to hire a physicist to work with your materials folks, and I am even more BEGGING YOU to work with women who have small boobs that nevertheless have dense tissue and bounce a lot). By the time I sized down two sizes to get the band to be the correct size for the requisite support, it's basically too small around the sides. The fabric isn't tight enough to dig in, fortunately, but the coverage could be better.

I will also say: many of my bras that have similar reviews end up going backpacking with me, and this wouldn't be one I would take. The seams at the top (likely due to sizing down) dig in after multiple hours of wear, and this would be quite painful with a pack on. And, if you're used to a racerback bra, the shape and the compression on your shoulder blades may take some getting used to (but has not ultimately bothered me).

Tldr; I bought this on sale and plan to keep using it, but not for running - the story of my life with every Oiselle bra I've purchased. I keep hoping one of them will be my platonic ideal, but not so far, and not at the increased price points.

Sew in the liner or fix the design so you don't need it.
I do like the back design, it makes removing the bra super easy.
But am not impressed with the support, and the liner makes me crazy.

I wanted to love this bra, but alas, it's not going to work as a running bra for me. I'm 5'5", 135 pounds, 36C, and bought a size 8. It is not supportive for a long run--better for strength training or yoga.

Pros: I love the ease with which I can put this on/take it off. The colour (Twilight Monarch) is gorgeous. The open back allows for air flow when I sweat.
Cons: There's no way to adjust the vertical straps to reduce bounce--I figure this bra is only going to stretch out with use with no way to configure it so it's supportive. The neckline is too low and gave me too much cleavage. Removable cups--these are never good for a running bra, and of course they bunched up when I washed the bra, so I had to fish around and straighten them.

I expected way more support from a $78 running bra from a company that specializes in running gear.

I love this bra. It is compressive, and the adjustable band makes it a go-to for days when you want a tighter fit, and you can loosen it for chill recovery days. The best part is the surprise and delight of how easy it is to remove when it's sopping wet with sweat.

LOVE this bra -- very comfortable support!

Hands down best sports bra for bigger girls. Stays in place, keeps the girls supported, no back bulges and fabric is comfortable and washes well. Checks all the boxes!

Fits great, lovely color, keeps everything in place. There’s just a seam on the sides that seems bulky and causes a pressure point sore after a while. It already seems to be getting better, so maybe it was just a break in issue.

Medium support for B cup. No bounce. No rubbing anywhere. The only running bra I own with hooks in the back but absolutely not a problem and makes it easy to get off. I throw in the wash, dryer and wear again. Holds up flawlessly. I now own in 3 different colors. Love it.

I really struggle with finding sports bras but this one was so cute and I wanted something for summer running. This bra has held up for months of long miles beautifully -- and still quite bright white! I love this bra and feel so comfy in it. : )

The pink is much brighter than the pictures. I like the style but struggle with the clasp so I often put it on/take it off like a classic sports bra. I found the support pretty good and would love this bra a lot if it wasn't for the chafing. The seam on the side is large and rough. I'm tempted to sew something over it because the bra is otherwise functional, but the rough seam has broken skin!

This is supportive but soft. Plan to purchase again.

The cut was fun, the bra comfortable, and it provided good support while running! The band is slightly smaller than other Oiselle bras but the size I normally order was fine. I am a 34C and order a size 4. Would definitely order again!

Wore it for the second time today. I’m going to take it off after this review, wash it and donate it. Not supportive enough and seams all rub.

This was my first time trying oiselle and I think this might be my new favorite bra! The color is so fun and I love the fit - the open back makes it so easy to get on and off while still being supportive enough to run in.

Can a cute sports bra be comfortable? The answer is YES! Just buy this bra now. You won't regret it!

Not supportive enough to run or do HIIT workouts with 36DD. There are large seams that chafe terribly on the sides. I would return it if I could.

This is the first bra that has good side coverage and has good support.

I held off on purchasing this bra for a little while (honestly wasn’t sure I wanted to go with the longer bra/high waisted shorts look) and I’m glad I didn’t wait too long-it’s fantastic! The fit, the style, and the functionality are amazing. Just buy it already!

Love the color (pink). Extremely comfortable and supportive for running (c-size), however, it did chafe pretty badly under the breasts and especially the side seams on the band. The side seams along the band protrude toward skin. I will keep wearing but make sure I use a lot of body glide, not sure I would wear for runs over 10 m. or find a way to smooth the seams by putting something over them.

Until the squared up bra came along! I wore this bra all weekend on a camping trip and several hikes and a run. It was comfortable for all activities! Easy to put on and take off and is very flattering too!

The fabric is so soft + smooth. Great chest coverage without getting up in your armpits, too. The Fast Pink color is super bright + fun!

I’ve been searching for a running bra that has an adjustable band and this is THE one. I always have an issue with bands being too tight or too loose and never “just right”. This bra solves the issue. Feels easy to breathe while running! Also easy to take off. I’m 5’0” 115lb 30A and ordered size 2.
