Women's Active Tanks & Workout Tank Tops
Choosing the right women's active tank or workout tank tops mostly comes down to fabric and fit. Ours are made from fabric that walks the line between being tick enough to effectively move sweat off your skin, and being light and breathable. Go for a fitted style if you prefer the feel of fabric close to your skin, or relaxed if you'd rather have more room to breathe. From there look for the details, like a racerback, a keyhole back or a higher neckline for more coverage. at Lorna Jane our tanks run from mid length to full length.
Activewear Tank Tops, Fabric by Fabric
Pick your activewear tank tops by how intense your work out will be and how much of sweat you plan to work up. If it's a higher intensity day, go for Liberty, Bare Minimum, active rib or active mesh, because they all focus on keeping you sweat free so you can focus on your workout. Liberty is 81% nylon and 19% Lycra elastane, with a smooth matte finish and four-way stretch, and it dries fast. It's so comfy you'll forget you're wearing it. Bare Minimum has the same 81% nylon and 19% elastane mix, with a soft, barely-there feel. Our active mesh tank is 86% polyester and 14% elastane, and it's lightweight and breathable. Our LJ Active and cotton-blend rib tanks are light and breathable too.
Fitted or Relaxed Exercise Tanks
Our exercise tanks come fitted or relaxed, and each cut has its own airflow and coverage details. If you like things close, the Amy Fitted Active Rib Tank is your full length active tank. It's form-fitting, it stays in place, and the racerback is cut for added ventilation and strategic coverage. A couple of other fitted styles are streamlined or slim fit. For a loose tank top, there's a relaxed LJ Active tank with a higher neckline for a bit more coverage and a keyhole back that keeps airflow steady as you move. Or go for the relaxed mesh tank, with dropped armholes and side splits at the hem so you can move freely.
