A sports bra should do more than simply look sporty. For yoga, walking, stretching, lounging or everyday wear, fit, fabric and care are often more important than bold marketing claims. The Lee women’s sports bra crop top Diana is designed as an easy-to-wear bra top for low-intensity activities. However, there are a few points to check before choosing your size and colour.
Not every sports bra is designed for running, jumping or high-intensity fitness. The Lee Diana’s product information lists yoga, stretching, walking and lounging as suitable uses. This makes the crop top particularly appealing as a sports top for light workouts, rather than an automatic choice for activities involving lots of impact or rapid movement.
So start by considering how you plan to use it. For gentle movement, a wide elasticated band may provide enough comfort and support. For more intensive sports, look for additional product specifications, such as an explicitly stated support level and a design intended for high-impact movement.
A soft fabric feels pleasant, but the composition also affects how a garment performs during washing and wear. The white version is listed as containing 95% cotton and 5% elastane. Cotton generally feels familiar and comfortable against the skin, while elastane helps provide stretch.
The available product information does not include the full fibre composition for the grey versions. Check the product label and the current product page before making a final decision about the material. This will help you avoid expecting a cotton sports bra if the composition differs between colours or versions.
A comfortable sports bra should not feel unnecessarily restrictive. A size that is too loose may shift, while one that is too small can create pressure around the bust or waistband. Use the size guide and compare your bust and waist measurements with a garment you already find comfortable.
Also pay attention to the back design. According to the product description, the Lee Diana has a rounded back band that supports freedom of movement. This is practical for yoga and walking, but the final fit will depend on your body shape and the size you choose.
The Lee Bra Top Diana is described as a model for everyday wear and light activities. The wide elasticated waistband helps keep the crop top in place. The product information does not state that it provides support for high-impact sports. Use the top as:
For running, intense aerobics or sports involving lots of jumping, it is better to look specifically for a model with a clearly stated higher support rating.
The white Lee Diana has a composition of 95% cotton and 5% elastane, according to the supplied product specifications. This combination may suit anyone looking for a cotton sports bra with some flexibility. Bear in mind, though, that cotton handles moisture differently from technical synthetic fabrics. For prolonged, intensive exercise, another material may be more practical.
The grey version is described as lightweight and comfortable, but you should check the label for the exact fibre composition. Also assess whether the fabric provides sufficient coverage in white, particularly if you plan to wear the top on its own. Ideally, check this in natural daylight.
The Lee Diana is specified as washable at 30 °C. The product information also states:
Wash the sports bra according to the sewn-in label and avoid unnecessarily high temperatures. Heat and tumble drying can put additional strain on elastic fibres. How long the top lasts depends on how often you wear and wash it, your level of activity and friction. Check regularly that the band still fits securely and that the fabric retains its original shape.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
The product information mentions yoga, stretching, walking, lounging and light workouts. Running is not listed. For this activity, it is advisable to choose a sports bra that is explicitly designed for high-intensity movement and higher support.
Wash the Lee Diana at 30 °C and always follow the sewn-in care label. According to the supplied care information, do not use bleach, a tumble dryer, an iron or dry-cleaning. Ideally, leave the top to air-dry.
Measure your bust and waist and compare them with the size guide on the product page. Do not automatically choose a smaller size for extra support. The wide band should fit securely without feeling uncomfortably tight. If you are unsure, follow the size information for the specific version.
