FAQs
How do these tops fit compared to regular sizing?
The body-fit styles run true to size but are designed to fit close to the body for a streamlined feel. If you prefer more room or plan to layer, consider sizing up. The regular fit tees and vests follow standard UK sizing and offer a more relaxed cut with freedom of movement.
What's the best way to care for these black training tops?
Machine wash at 30 degrees inside out to maintain the color and fabric quality. Avoid fabric softener as it can reduce the moisture-wicking properties. Air dry when possible, or tumble dry on low heat. These simple steps keep the tops looking fresh wash after wash.
Which style works best for high-intensity training?
The body-fit options are ideal for HIIT, circuit training, or anything involving floor work, as they stay in place without riding up. The strappy and cropped vests offer maximum breathability for particularly intense sessions where you need excellent airflow.
Can these tops be worn outside the gym?
Absolutely. Black training tops pair easily with jeans, casual trousers, or everyday shorts. The simple designs work for running errands, casual meet-ups, or relaxed weekend activities. They're functional enough for workouts but versatile enough for regular wear.
What materials are these tops made from?
Most pieces use polyester or polyester-blend fabrics chosen for their moisture-wicking properties and durability. These materials dry quickly, resist wrinkles, and maintain their shape through frequent washing. Some styles include a small percentage of elastane for added stretch and recovery.
Who designs these training tops?
All pieces in this collection are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on creating functional activewear that performs across different training types while maintaining quality and durability at accessible price points.
How many of these tops do I need in my rotation?
It depends on how often you train. Three to five tops work well for most people who exercise 3-5 times per week, giving you enough variety while keeping laundry manageable. Having different styles means you can match your top to your specific workout each day.
Do these tops show sweat marks?
Black fabric naturally shows sweat less than lighter colors, though all fabrics will show moisture to some degree during intense exercise. The moisture-wicking properties help distribute sweat across the fabric surface where it can evaporate more quickly, reducing visible marks as you train.
