14 Workout Tops That Look and Feel Good
Time to toss those old sweat-stained tanks.

Before you set off on that morning run or complete a 30-minute at-home yoga flow, you'll have to consider which pieces to wear for that activity. No one likes a sports bra strap digging into your shoulders or a top that traps sweat. We already highlighted the best sports bras here, so our next mission is to find workout tanks, tees, and pullovers that help us feel and look good. Tops, thankfully, are relatively abundant, and the options we found can work for a variety of workouts, from HIIT to Pilates. Some even work for Zoom calls—just skip the super crop styles. Keep in mind that workout tops can also be worn on your off days too—like when you skip that workout in favor of drinking wine on a Thursday night. We want a workout top that will do the most, so we found 14 options that check off these categories and more, ahead.
The tank you'll want to wear 24/7, whether you're running laps around your block or sitting at home while devouring charcuterie and sipping some wine. The sweat-wicking cotton blend tank earns a solid A for being comfortable and versatile.
You can forgo wearing a sports bra when you slip on this workout tank. It has four-way stretch, is moisture wicking, and looks smooth and soft. The extra strappy detail gives the tank a sexy feel, which means you can easily take this top from studio to the streets.
This Adam Selman Sport top has a texture elasticized under band to provide support while you move and the fabric hugs your body, so it doesn't hang loose. (There's nothing worst than not being able to see the next exercise move on your laptop screen because your loose tank is hanging in front of your face.)
Not all of us feel comfortable working out in a teeny-tiny crop top, so here's a longer option for you. It can be worn with or without a bra, depending on how much support you need, and is suitable for yoga sessions or running since the material doesn't tug or pull.
You love circuit training/HIIT sessions and consider yourself the leader in your workout pact. This tiger print racerback top is made for you then because it's fierce and strong. Wear with the matching bottoms and you'll feel confident in acing your workout.
Runners who don't want any distractions while on the track or streets will opt for this racerback top. It has an open hole design to keep you cool, is lightweight thanks to Nike's "AeroSwift technology," and comes in a tailored style for a comfortable fit on your body.
Your shoulders are sunburned from your last long run, so protect them the next day with this training tee. The soft fabric repels moisture and mesh panels in the main sweat zones allow air to flow through (genius). We'll wear this top even on rest days.
For post-dinner strolls or light yoga routines at home, you can get away with wearing just this sweatshirt over a sports bra. The top is so soft and features a one-of-a-kind tie-dye print. Get the matching bottoms or opt for the whole set to complete your lazy-day workout look.
