When shopping for workout tops, you probably want them to be comfortable, functional (i.e., sweat-wicking), and easy to move in. And I guess it doesn't hurt for it them to look flattering and stylish, too.
Tanks and tees are go-tos for a lot of people, but I wouldn't forget about those long-sleeve tops. They're just so versatile because they're a great transition piece when we're going from winter to spring or even fall to winter. I normally wear mine with a sports bra so that when I get to a studio class and feel a little chilly, I can take it off after the warm-up. After class, I'll put it back on as an extra layer and can wear it for pretty much the rest of the day if I've got errands to do after the gym or am meeting friends.
There are so many different types of fits for long-sleeve workout tops for women—from cropped to longer-length to ones that are super formfitting and others that are a little bit roomier. Take a look at some options below.
