Yoga tops that stay put are hard to find. They never slide around or fall off, no matter how many inversions you do.
The tops that work best for me are the ones that are made of strudy—but not too thick—cotton. They fit me perfectly, providing the support I need, while not being too tight or too big.
I also like tops that are comfortable and fit in all positions, including inversions. They don’t rub or pinch in sensitive parts and they don’t constrict or bind.
The tops I use are sturdy and can be washed and dried repeatedly without fading or getting stiff.
They also have to stay put. Period. Inversions are not forgiving! If a top moves or slides at any time, it has been disqualified.
In this review, I’m examining the top 5 yoga tops that never move no matter what Asana you are in.

Great for yoga, short runs, and more
Built-in shelf bra
Tight fit, hip length
=Cons:
- Runs a little small – go 1 size up from usual.
This top is an ideal combination of breathable mesh fabric and light-stretching material. The reason why it is such a great choice for inversions is that it stays put and doesn’t ride up while doing inversions.
We also love Lululemon tops for their flattering fit. Since they run a little small, you might want to try one size up.
As for wash care, do not put this top in the dryer.We recommend that you hang it on a clothesline if the weather is good. Otherwise, you can throw it in the wash on delicate cycle and air dry it.
