I thought to buy it for yoga, but after testing it maintains less than a conventional bra underwire. The color is great, as in the photo, a lovely taupe, not disappointed with the look and the material if not low maintenance: up to you, if not to wear under a shirt slightly open, it is also very pretty. The pads are removable, but this is no worse, if one has a slightly heavy chest like me (I took 85 D and M is nickel).
