Elomi Energise High Impact Wired Sport Bra Black
Elomi · Simply Be
£45.00 at time of research
A J-hook gives the wired design a racerback option.
Elomi’s Energise uses underwired, three-section cups with side-support panels rather than a compression-only shape. The fabric is described as moisture-wicking, and the J-hook lets the straps convert to a racerback position.

Panache Freedom Non Wired Non Padded Sports Bra Black/Chalk
Panache · Simply Be
£45.00 at time of research
A non-padded cup keeps the shape simple.
Panache Freedom is a non-wired, non-padded sports bra with moisture-wicking fabric and cushioned straps. Its optional J-hook provides a racerback position, giving this style a practical adjustment for different tops and activities.

Panache Boundless High Impact Non Wired Sports Bra Chalk/Black
Panache · Simply Be
£45.00 at time of research
A longline underband adds more coverage below the cups.
Boundless uses non-wired moulded cups and a longline Y-fold underband. The retailer describes moisture-wicking microfibre and an optional J-hook, so it brings a different cup and band shape to the wire-free choices.

Glamorise Plus Size MagicLift Seamless Sports Bra 1006
Glamorise · Simply Be
£44.00 at time of research
A seamless MagicLift design bridges sport and everyday wear.
The 1006 is described as a medium-support, wire-free sports bra with seamless, non-stretch cups, a flexible two-way back and wide adjustable straps. That gives it a smoother, less overtly technical look than the other sports styles here.
