When winter rolls around, the idea of getting out of our cosy comfort clothes and squeezing into lycra and leggings in order to get our workouts in is a bit of a nightmare.
Who wants to shed the layers in order for activewear that only leaves us shivering? But adding a long sleeve work out top to your repertoire, may just save your fitness streak and have you ready and raring to hit the ground running.
The addition of a long sleeve to your workout wardrobe is a game-changer. They’re often on the tighter side so act like thermals on chilly morning walks, you can pair them with shorts if you’re worried about about mid-exercise sweats and they’re great for layering. Not to mention, they’re extremely flattering and come in a myriad of styles and colourways.
We’re recent converts ourselves, so we’ve been on the ‘net scouring for the very best. Read on to find our top picks.
