The Upside Oxford Ulla sports bra

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Upside’s Oxford Ulla sports bra fuses a streamlined, studio-to-street aesthetic with a quietly luxe tactile feel. Rendered in the brand’s signature recycled nylon blend—a soft, substantial stretch with a cool, almost technical hand—it’s colored in a deep Olive that lands somewhere between military nonchalance and city-girl chic. The sculpted silhouette is double-lined for subtle structure, while removable padded cups add that gentle bit of shape and coverage needed for low-impact sessions or wherever you want a clean, held-in look.

Thanks to its wide, smoothing band and high-stretch composition, the Oxford Ulla adapts closely to the body without pinching or gaping, lending easy movement from reformer class to errand run. The cut is intentionally sleek under layers, yet the rich hue and structure make it primed for standalone wear—think peeking out from an open button-down or teamed with matching leggings and a boxy jacket. There’s enough support and coverage to keep you confident through a range of settings, while the breathable lining and quick-drying fabric play well with both an active routine and whatever the rest of your day brings.

This piece channels The Upside’s signature mood: unfussy, slightly sporty, always ready for off-duty styling. With the Olive palette and minimal logo touches, it feel more NYFW than gym floor—quietly directional, totally wearable, and right in line with the quietly athletic trend the cool-girl set can’t stop wearing.
