If you crave comfort but you care to dial up the chic factor, you’ve come to the right place (buh-bye schlump, hello Six to Sunday!).
Here’s the deal: Activewear has come a long way.
Designers at every price point are leaning into design details that elevate the ordinary pieces into something you can get excited about, without giving up one iota of functionality. We’ve rounded up the best toppers that can double duty for a workout and also look super chic over jeans, joggers, cargo pants, and more.
Our Must-Have Athleisure Tops
Gap. This has all the comfort of a sweatshirt and all the polish of a cardi.
Year of Ours. Cut for a relaxed, boxy shape, we like this layered over a fitted tank or plain and simple (especially for shorties).
Athleta. How do we love a wrap style, let us count the ways. Great for big boobs, a belly, and/or strong shoulders.
Athleta. The longer length just covers the booty, and the drawstring waist can be cinched for shape or left loose to lend some room.
Norma Kamali. The drama of this drop shoulder (and a hint of dishy skin) is not lost on us. Works on all shapes, and is especially great if you’re chesty or looking for a little extra arm room.
Carbon38. A classic and timeless design in a French terry absolutely belongs in this lineup. Plus we appreciate the looser (read forgiving) hem.
Varley. Taking a page from sweater style this year, this topper is a belt notch above the old hoodies in your arsenal thanks to an exaggerated collar. Works great on most shapes and we love the V-neck for those with chests.
Lululemon. The cropped, boxy shape is a fantastic layering piece over short or long sleeve shells. A great pick for most body shapes.
Free People. Lots of fun design details make this street-style ready, but it’s the A-line shape that’s forgiving and especially wonderful.
Cynthia Rowley. This oversized fit is balanced by a printed lace that is oh-so feminine and charming.
