When to Wear These Pieces
Short sleeve crop tops shine during high-intensity sessions where you need maximum airflow. Think circuit training, HIIT classes, or heavy leg days where you're generating serious heat. They're also perfect for warmer weather or when you're layering under a hoodie that comes off the moment you warm up. The cropped length gives you freedom to move without fabric bunching.
Long sleeve options work brilliantly for early morning runs, outdoor training when there's a chill in the air, or when you want extra coverage during yoga and pilates. The seamless styles are particularly good for activities where you're constantly moving between positions – no seams digging in, no uncomfortable rubbing. Pair them with high-waisted leggings for full coverage or keep the crop visible for a more sporty look.
Key Features
Seamless Construction
The seamless designs eliminate irritation points completely. No more chafing during long training sessions or uncomfortable ridges under sports bras. The fabric is knitted as one continuous piece, creating a smooth, second-skin feel that moves with your body rather than against it.
Moisture Management
Quick-drying fabrics pull sweat away from your skin and disperse it across the surface of the material. You stay drier during training and the fabric doesn't stay damp afterwards. This means less weight, less discomfort, and gear that's ready to go again faster.
Compression Fit Options
Compression styles offer a close, supportive fit that feels locked-in without being restrictive. The fabric holds everything in place during jumping, running, or lifting movements. It's a secure feeling that lets you focus on your training rather than adjusting your top.
Versatile Colour Palette
Classic black and white options form the foundation of any gym wardrobe. They pair with everything, hide sweat effectively, and never look out of place. These are the pieces you'll reach for again and again because they simply work.

FAQs
How do these crop tops fit?
The Power range offers a more relaxed, comfortable fit whilst still feeling secure during training. The Shape Seamless collection has a closer, compression-style fit that moulds to your body. Both styles are designed to stay in place during movement without riding up. If you're between sizes, the Power range has a bit more give, whilst the seamless styles work best when fitted closely.
What's the difference between short sleeve and long sleeve options?
Short sleeve styles provide maximum ventilation and freedom of movement around the arms, making them ideal for high-intensity workouts or warmer conditions. Long sleeve designs offer extra coverage for outdoor training, cooler environments, or when you want more skin protection during floor exercises. Both lengths feature the same quality fabrics and construction.
Can I wear these for activities other than gym training?
Absolutely. These pieces work brilliantly for yoga, pilates, running, cycling, and general fitness classes. The seamless styles are particularly good for activities involving lots of movement and position changes. They also transition well into casual wear – pair them with high-waisted jeans or joggers for a sporty off-duty look.
How should I care for these tops?
Machine wash in cold water with similar colours and avoid fabric softener, which can affect moisture-wicking properties. Air drying is best to maintain the fabric's elasticity and shape, but if you're using a dryer, choose a low heat setting. Turn seamless pieces inside out before washing to protect the exterior finish.
Will white crop tops show sweat?
The moisture-wicking fabrics disperse sweat across the surface rather than creating concentrated wet patches. White does show moisture more than black, but the quick-drying properties mean it doesn't stay visible for long. Many people find the trade-off worth it for the fresh, clean aesthetic white brings to their gym wardrobe.
Are these tops suitable for larger bust sizes?
These crop tops are designed to be worn with a sports bra underneath rather than replacing one. The compression styles offer some additional support, but you'll still want a proper sports bra for high-impact activities. The cropped length actually works well with larger busts as it doesn't add bulk around the chest area.
Who designed these pieces?
All items in this collection are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team. They work directly with athletes and regular gym-goers to understand what actually works during training, then translate that feedback into practical, wearable designs. The focus is always on performance and durability alongside style.
What makes seamless construction worth it?
Seamless technology eliminates all the points where traditional stitched seams can rub, dig in, or cause irritation during movement. The result is a smoother feel against your skin and no uncomfortable lines under clothing. It's particularly noticeable during activities that involve repetitive motion or when you're in the same position for extended periods. Once you've trained in seamless gear, it's hard to go back.
