Just like a pair of leggings, the right top can make or break a workout. After all, no one likes to have to adjust their shirt in the middle of a HIIT session, or realize that it’s drenched only three minutes in. Finding the right sports top that’ll go the extra mile can really be a game-changer, and it usually comes down to performance and quality fabric.
That’s part of the reason thousands of Amazon shoppers are in love with this sports bra top from Lemedy. With just over 29,000 5-star reviews and nearly 39,000 customer ratings, it’s easily one of the most popular activewear tops on Amazon—and for good reason. Not only is it super comfy and affordable, but multiple reviewers claim it has the same quality feel as Lululemon.
Lemedy Sports Tank Top — $24.00
The original sports tank on Lululemon (the Align Tank Top) goes from $29 to $39 (and it’s actually on sale right now, if you do want to splurge a little). The main differences are that the Align top has thicker straps and only comes in four colors (it also doesn’t offer as wide of a size selection as Amazon).
“Exactly what I was looking for, and a great price!” one five-star Amazon reviewer wrote. “I ordered two colors and will be ordering more. These feel like Lululemon quality material without the price tag.”
The high ratings on Amazon come down to the material. When choosing activewear, it’s important to pay attention to the fabric. Depending on the type and intensity of your workout, one fabric may be better than the other. For example, merino wool is ideal for working out in cooler weather, as noted by CNET. It’s thinner and softer than regular wool, yet it helps keep you warm and regulates your body temperature.
But like many performance styles, this top is all nylon and spandex. This makes it a perfect option for lightweight exercises like yoga and stretching. And while it does have limited support, it offers removable pads that you can adjust based on your comfort level. Additionally, you can pick it up in multiple sizes and in a variety colors, including black, blue and burgundy.
At the same time, the top is more than just about performance. It’s also great to pair with your everyday outfits. For example, you can throw on it with some jeans or slip it on under a coat for a sporty evening look. One reviewer even hailed it the “best basic tank.”
“The built-in bra and pads are great so you can just throw this on with a pear of jeans, shorts or leggings for the warmer weather and go!” they wrote. “I also wear it for working out and it keeps everything in place.”
So, no matter if you’re looking for a chic workout sports bra or a cute cropped top for summer, this sports style look may just be for you.
