Summer tops that offer a
blend of fashion and function


  1. Saucony
    Freedom Tank
    £35 saucony.com
    This lightweight vest is
    a great option for races
    and speed sessions – the
    anatomical cut means it’s
    not too tight and will move
    nicely with your body. It
    features a scoop neck
    racerback (put on sun
    cream unless you want a
    diamond-shaped tan mark)
    and an extended lower
    hem for extra coverage.
    3. Asics FuseX
    V-Neck
    £30 asics.co.uk
    This is an excellent training
    top that works well over
    a variety of distances and
    is ideal for cross-training
    too as it’s durable soft
    and unfussy. It comes in
    several colours but the
    white option is a little
    see-through so wear
    a boldly coloured layer
    underneath or give it a miss
    if you’re on the shy side.
    4. Tr i b es p or t s
    Engineered Short-
    Sleeve Tee
    £35 tribesports.com
    A itted T-shirt that is best
    suited to those who have
    an athletic physique. The
    ergonomic panels allow
    it to move in perfect sync
    with your body on the run.
    Minimal seams cut down
    on irritation while mesh
    panels on the back and
    the chest ofer excellent
    breathability.
    5. Ashmei
    :RPHQ·V7HH
    £75 ashmei.com
    No we haven’t lost our
    minds; we know that £75
    is very pricey for a T-shirt
    but if you have the money
    to spend you’ll ind the
    premium blend of merino
    and carbon results in a
    piece of kit that helps to
    regulate your temperature
    wicks superbly dries
    quickly and feels utterly
    dreamy against your skin.
