Cotton Tops or Sweat-Wicking Active Tees

Picking a top mostly comes down to fabric, and how hard you need it to work. That's not to say that it's all work and no play - heaps of our tees are 100% cotton, breathable, lightweight casual tops that are perfect for everyday wear. Among our cotton tops for women, the Active Living Slim t-shirt is your slim-fit tee, made from soft-touch cotton with a mid-length cut. Our Lotus fabric shirts sit in the middle, between everyday cotton and our more technical active wear tops. A 65% polyester and 35% viscose blend, it's light, it stretches two ways, and the Lotus t-shirt goes in and out of the gym with you. Lotus also comes as a tank and a long sleeve.

Cotton breathes, but for sweaty sessions our active t-shirts and long sleeves are the better call. Our Amy Dynamic styles come as a tee and a long sleeve, both in 100% polyester LJ Active. It moves sweat off your skin and dries fast. Our Liberty long sleeves are a different blend, 81% nylon and 19% Lycra elastane, that draws sweat away from your body and is quick-dry.
