Favourite work out gear

Yes, I recommend this

I’m constantly running at high temperature when I exercise. This line of work out gear has kept me cool enough that I can continue my work out without too many issues.

Great top for yoga

Yes, I recommend this

Great top- needed a top for yoga that doesn’t ride up and that works well for ‘down facing dog’. Am very pleased with this top and would recommend it to anyone wanting to wear it for yoga/sport.

Had to keep pulling this down...

No, I don't recommend this

Nice design, feels like a cotton rich fabric, I liked the longer back....if only it would stay there! It kept riding up during exercise, annoying.

Comfortable and good for pilates/stretching

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this vest to match the leggings. It is comfortable to wear and feels good on. Quite lightweight but not see through. I purchased a size 12 which I found true to my size.

Nice gym top

Yes, I recommend this

Like the vest top style rather than a racer back top. I wish the bottom of the top was straight and not longer at the back. It sticks out during a work out.

Lovely vest

Yes, I recommend this

Fits beautifully-true to size, and a lovely length. I'm 5ft 8 so it is great to find a vest that fits so well!

OK for the price but a bit disappointing

Yes, I recommend this

Really nice top, nice style - I bought this specifically because it had a fuller back rather than the typical racer back style. Unfortunately It's only been worn twice and washed twice but is beginning to lose a bit of shape at the sides at the bottom, where I've obviously been pulling it down during my workouts. Could it possibly have a bit more elastane to help keep the shape ? I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for this.

Annoying fishtail

No, I don't recommend this

I am 5'7 and a size 10 but the size 8 was a better fit for me. I would have kept this item if the fishtail back didn't flick up (and stay up!) resulting in a duckbill effect which was unflattering but also would have been annoying during exercise.

Great for yoga

Yes, I recommend this

Finally a top made with mainly natural material (cotton) with a fit suitable for yoga (nothing worse that standing on your head in a top that rides up to show a less than elegant midrift). Nice and plain but the colour dash on shoulders adds a bit of simplistic style which suits me. Good quality of cotton and who could grumble with the price - excellent value. More like this please M & S!!!! I could only get one in store but ordered another on line.

Very nice exercise top

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this top in a size 12 - it is quite a snug fit but I am going to keep it as a 14 would be too big in the chest. The material has plenty of stretch and I like the fact that it is mainly cotton. The length is great - rather long in the body, so it won't ride up when exercising. Pleased with my purchase and am sure I will wear it a lot.
