Key things to remember when shopping for workout tops: sweat, support and comfort. When you’re exercising (especially in warm temperatures) it’s important that your tops consist of a sweat-wicking fabric to keep moisture away from your body. If running is your passion, a supportive top is what you need to keep everything in its place. Last but not least, your workout tops should always be comfortable. If you’re not comfortable with what you’re wearing, your workout will suffer.

Five tops we love:

Nike New Dedication Airborne Women’s Long Tank Top, $42, nike.com
This top comes in a long list of colors for those daring enough to wear “Vibrant Yellow” or “Marina Blue” or those who prefer neutrals (like white and black). Its Dri-FIT fabric will help keep you dry on the hottest of days or during your intense workout sessions, while the fabric will also protect you against UV rays!. This top is extremely popular, so don’t be surprised if you see a lot of it around the gym.

C9 by Champion® Women’s Seamless Cami, $18.99, target.com
This top is most comfortable during downward-facing dog. It’s slim, seamless fit won’t annoy you during your yoga poses, plus its built-in shelf bra will help keep everything secure. At a great price-point, it’s not only effective but also economical!

J.CREW New Favorite Tank, $18, jcrew.com
With a slim fit, this tank is great for a kickboxing class with the friends. It’s lightweight cotton keeps you cool and, because it doesn’t scream “workout top,” it allows you to go from gym class to a casual dinner after.

Lululemon Run: Swiftly Racerback, $52, lululemon.com
Another slim-fit tank, this top is great for sticky days. With mesh venting it keeps sweat off of your body and prevents chafing. Plus, it’s knitted with Silverescent™ so when your workout really makes you work, your shirt won’t make you stink!

Under Armour UA Tech™ Sleeveless T, $19.99, underarmour.com
With a looser fit, this top is perfect for pulling off all of those dance moves in your Zumba® class. Its fabric keeps moisture away from your body but still feels as soft as cotton.






Always remember, if your workout takes you into the sun, light-colored tops are best and, of course, wear spf! But most of all, don’t forget to hydrate!
