Yoga Tops: Light and Airy, for the Studio and Summer

A yoga top belongs to the first warm day in May, when the mat goes out on the balcony and the neighbour pretends not to look. Shoulders and arms stay free, and after the third sun salutation everything is still where it was.

Tank top, racerback or crop top?

The tank top is the all-rounder: narrow straps, straight cut, room to breathe. On a racerback top the straps meet at the back, so your shoulder blades have space. If you like it shorter, a crop top ends above the waistband and goes with anything high-waisted, leggings or shorts. It’s less a question of style than of movement: lots of forward folds and arms overhead call for an open back; if you prefer more cover, take a classic tank. None of them replaces a jacket, but that was never the plan.

What they’re made of

Depending on the style: organic cotton; TENCEL™ Lyocell with organic cotton and elastane; or 50% organic cotton, 50% recycled cotton from production offcuts. Cotton feels soft on the skin, and our organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers support a natural dry feeling through moisture control. Everything is made in Portugal; what’s in each top is on its product page.

Studio or summer

In the studio, nothing should slip or scratch. In summer, air should get in. A top that does both can stay on after class, for an iced coffee on the way home.

Fit and care

Tanks and racerbacks sit close but not tight; crop tops end above the waistband. The size chart on each product page has the measurements – between two sizes, decide whether you like it close or loose. Test a new top with a sun salutation: arms up, fold forward, arms up again. If nothing moves, it stays. Wash at 30 °C and air dry; the care label has the final word. For more support, wear a bustier or sports bra underneath. If you like sleeves, take a look at our women’s T-shirts.
