Whether you’re heading for a sweat session at the gym tops women or hitting the studio for a power yoga class, the right gear can make all the difference. And that includes the right workout tops women, whether you’re looking for a supportive tank, a fitted long-sleeve performance shirt or a pair of cropped joggers.

The best workout shirts feel good, move with you and keep you cool and dry. They’re usually made from breathable fabrics that wick sweat, and they might have built-in odour management technology or UPF sun protection. You can also look out for a seamless construction that reduces chafing and itching. Some tops come with added bonus features such as compression to support blood flow and boost performance, or anti-odor tech that keeps you fresh all-day long.

Stylish and Supportive: Trendy Gym Tops for Women’s Active Workouts

You can find affordable workout shirts that work with your budget and activity level, or you can opt for something more high-end and luxurious. For example, the reversible cropped tank from New Balance is a summer staple thanks to its sunshine yellow colour, but it’s equally at home with a black pair of leggings and trainers for an indoor workout. It also has removable pads for light support and a racerback that fits well on bigger busts.

Another affordable option is the Beyond Yoga Space Dye legging, a set that’s both comfy and stylish. The female-led brand manufactures its gear in the US and uses a marbled fabric with a soft texture that feels like you’re wearing a teddy bear. The high-waisted leggings are snug without being tight, and they’ll hold up to heavy lifting sessions or a sweaty run.
