I own this crop top and I love wearing it for running, HIIT, and dance classes. It doesn't roll up when I'm moving, it's super breathable, and it's not too tight on my chest.
Promising review: "I love this shirt. I've been taking fitness more seriously the last few months and finally got around to replacing all of my old activewear. It's just loose enough that I don't have to adjust it while I'm working out and also provides nice cleavage coverage. It's extremely soft and has good-sized arm holes. The navy color is deep and beautiful." —Amazon Customer

I’ve always had a muscular build and have resorted to wearing yoga pants for workouts even on hot days because I get so tired of constantly having to pull my shorts down (I do hot yoga, running, CrossFit). But not with these! Highly recommend! The high waist is flattering and comfortable." —Erin Michelle

This is the best workout shirt I have found at a good price!! if you want to show off those sexy shoulders, this shirt is a must! I love the feel of the fabric and it is nice and thin, not to bulky!

Promising review: "I have purchased many pairs of athletic shorts over the years. By far, these are my favorite. First, they have pockets that are useful, but very concealed. The way they are made, the pockets lie complete flat against the body and are not the least bit visible. Second, the fabric is lightweight and not scratchy or crunchy like some shorts. Third, the waistband is comfortable and smooth on the inside." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love the design of the backs of these sports bra and was skeptical about whether they were truly high support sports bra, to my surprise, they are. I did burpees, jump squats, and jumping jacks and everything stayed in place! I also appreciated not having to dislocate my shoulder trying to take the sports bra off. It came off easily without the normal struggle of high support bras that are so tight, you sometimes have to ask for help." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I was running my first 10K and bought this top last minute. When they switched the forecast to be chilly (47 degrees Fahrenheit), I ran in it and it kept me warm, but even more important it was comfortable and didn't bother me at all. I am going to order another one in a different color for my other fall races. And what a good price!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These are by far my favorite sports bras and I am a sports bra junkie! I have a large bust size but a small band and these work so well for me. Secure enough to run in but also comfortable enough to wear for any workout or just under a top with an exposed back. There are no adjustments on the bra so getting it on and off can be a little tricky, especially after a good workout but it is so worth it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in sizes XS—XL and 13 colors).

Some reviewers suggest buying the next sister size up if you want a looser fit.
Promising review: "The band on this bra runs tight, so use the next sister size up. I’m normally a 32DD, but the 34D fit just right! Love the convertible straps. I got it to wear playing Ring Fit Adventure, so I do a lot of bodyweight exercises and jogging, and the support is great." —Target Customer
