From struggle-free sports bras to anti-chafing accessories, TODAY Style Editor and all-around Professional Girlfriend Bobbie Thomas shares summer style solutions.

Struggle-free sports bras

Target.com

While we want the support of a snug sports bra, we dread peeling them off post-workout (especially in the humid weather). Front-closures, however, can solve that issue. For maximum support, Victoria's Secret's Knockout Bra uses a two-layer design that mimics the effect of wearing two bras and features an easy-to-use front zipper ($56.50 and up, victoriassecret.com). C9 by Champion also offers a plus-size zip-up bra that's available in an assortment of bright colors ($17.59, target.com). Lastly, SheFit's unique design features an adjustable velcro strap on the shoulder so you can customize the level of lift and compression as desired, in addition to having a front-facing zipper ($58.99, shefit.com).

Anti-chafing bands

Most women's thighs touch — that's the reality — and it's not a big deal! But during the hot summer months, the combo of long walks, workouts and shorts rubbing together can lead to chafing, bunching and irritation. Thankfully, Bandelette's friction-reducing fabric bands are here to help. The garter-like accessories have two rows of stay-up silicone to prevent rolling or slipping, while the slightly firm fit keeps everything smooth ($15.99, bandelettes.com).

Multi-way shawls

Do you love multi-functional clothing? Shawl Dawls are a great addition to anyone's wardrobe, whether you're looking for extra options while traveling, extra coverage at the beach or just extra warmth when the air conditioner is blasting. From a top and a vest to a cape and a scarf, there are countless ways to wear the fun garment, which is available in numerous colors and different lengths ($48 and up, shawldawls.com).
