Promising review: "Love this top. I am a big-boobed babe. 36\38 DD\E. This shirt is great. I don't feel like they will fall out. I often have to wear strapless bras that are ill-fitted, but this top has a built-in bra that actually holds the girls. Thank you, Athleta." —Anita

Price: $27.99+ (originally $59; available in sizes XS–XL and three colors)

Promising review: "I got these in a tan color two years ago. I have never been stopped so many times to ask where I got my pants. A thicker, cooler fabric. Nearly waterproof but without the crinkle sound. Not too tight. Great for travel. I'm unsure if the design is still exactly the same two yrs later, but it looks like it! They are SO well made. The ones I have fit true to size and were long enough that I didn't opt for the Tall, even though I am 5'10 ". My ankles are exposed, but it looks cute/intentional. I got them a tad big for me, thinking they might shrink, but they haven't. I wash on cold and dry on the lowest heat. I think the waistband has a *little* bit stretched out in the two years. Still fit great, and the cargo pockets are Perfect for your phone. Buying these again now in Navy, but gonna try the Tall :)" —Brit D.

Price: $27.98 (originally $129; available in sizes 0–12 and 16, regular, tall, and petite lengths, and three colors)

Promising review: "Tennis and pickleball players need lightweight materials, a comfortable waistband, secure undershorts (but not TOO much leg gripper). This Endurance Skort is all that: 14 inches is a sweet spot length for most players. (15.5 is better for golf or the over-65 set). The fabric lighter than their other skorts. Drapes nicely, comfortable waistband: although I will have to take it for a spin on the court to know for sure. It's one of those hidden bands. Hopefully, it won't roll or bunch. Overall, I do think this style is gonna be a winner! I often wear a medium in Athleta skorts, but in this style I felt more comfortable in the large." —Kim M

Price: $27.99 (originally $39.99; available in sizes XXS–XL and two colors)

Promising review: "Versatile and comfortable. The fabric is so soft and feels great on! The dress can be dressed up or down." —Muraira

Price: $34.99+ (originally $115; available in sizes XXS–XL in regular, tall, and petite lengths, and two colors)

Promising review: "I have been wearing the Mesh Racer 4" for many years! They are cool, comfortable, and excellent quality. I love that I can fit my iPhone in the side pocket. Please keep up the fun colors and stitching, the ballet pink is SO pretty!" —Shelly L

Price: $38.50 (originally $55; available in sizes XXS–3X in white and black; also available in select sizes in four other colors)

Promising review: "This top, which I have in three colors, is so comfortable and stylish! It really allows you to move, and I wear it for strength training and yoga. It's also very versatile and can be worn out and about. I have no negative comments!" —Sherrill

Price: $13.98+ (originally $59; available in sizes XXS–XL, short and long sleeve styles, and 10 colors)

Promising reviews: "I love these tops and have a few different colors. They are a perfect fit and work great on their own for workouts and as a layer." —anonymous

"Love the scoop neckline, very on trend. The fabric is light, breathable, and so comfy. Perfect top for yoga and Pilates." —anonymous

Price: $23.09+ (originally $55; available in sizes XS–XL in two cup sizes: A–C and D–DD+, and six colors)

Promising review: "Love this cap! Have it in cream and brown. Just wish there were more color options! A deep mauve, rose, or burgundy would be amazing!" —Jen R

Price: $12.59+ (originally $39; available in three colors)

Promising review: "I love these pants and just ordered my sixth pair—all on sale. I bought an XL; they're a little roomy, but I'm tall with large hips and a smallish waist, and the waist tie is super helpful for pulling it in. And they look good. I wear them with simple, loose linen tees, and in our hot, humid Virginia summer, I'm as comfortable as possible." —Karen W.

Price: $57+ (originally $95; available in sizes XXS–3X, regular, tall, and petite lengths, and four colors; additional colors available in select sizes)

Some reviewers recommend sizing up if you have a larger bust size.

Promising review: "Love! Really happy with this top. I am a B cup and can see how this may not be the right fit for ladies with larger cup sizes. Straps are adjustable via a button — essentially 2 options. However, I recently decided to put them on the longest setting and do an 'X' back (crisscross) and love it even more. Helps prevent the straps from slipping off my shoulders and gives the neckline a more refined fit. It works for me!" —EZimmy

Price: $34.99 (originally $49.99; available in sizes XXS–XL and four colors)

Promising review: "It's a nice color and lightweight, fits all the things I need, nice color and it looks real 👌 nice on you, especially if you don't want to carry lots of things. Daily Use!" —E.A.

Price: $13.29+ (originally $49; available in seven colors)

Promising review: "The breezy scoop V-neck is perfect for an everyday casual look. I like the feel of the fabric and the V-neck. I also like how the fabric flows. I ordered a medium only because I felt the small was clingy and didn't flow in the back. I am 5'3, 128 lbs, and DD chest." —Betcolex

Price: $16.09+ (originally $55; available in sizes XXS–XL, regular, tall, and petite lengths, and nine colors)

Promising review: "I've owned all brands of leggings, and none are as nice as these. The fabric is luxe, supportive, provides good coverage, and never slips down." —anonymous

Price: $27.98+ (originally $89; available in sizes XXS–3X regular, XS–XL tall, XXS–L petite, and 18 colors; not all sizes available in all colors)

Promising review: "Buttery soft on double mastectomy skin. I appreciate Athleta soooo much for providing so many options, including mastectomy-padded inserts. At 32 and 46, I had a double mastectomy, including a full allergic reaction to surgical glue. The softness of these bras and the inserts made me so happy to feel like myself again. Especially with how sensitive my skin was after a reaction to the glue. There aren't many great options for tops with flat closures, and our store in my hometown was amazing and completely professional in helping me find this beautiful bra. Thank you so much!" —Jenny N

Price: $16.09+ (originally $45; available in sizes XS–XL in two cup sizes: A–C and D–DD+, and 12 colors)

Promising review: "Absolutely love this dress, perfect length and very soft. Drapes nicely, washes easily, and is not too clingy. Gives me shape without being too tight. I bought the blue, and it is a great shade of almost navy but not quite. Thrilled with this purchase and considering purchasing another color." —anonymous

Price: $20.98+ (originally $115; available in sizes XXS–XL and tall sizes; available in two other colors in select sizes)

Promising review: "A beautiful, substantial linen. I have been throwing mine on top of everything, from work clothes to sweatpants! Looks lovely, feels beautiful. I got M, and it is nicely oversize but not ginormous. I am 5'7", 168lbs, 36B, and often wear M." —PamP

Price: $23.08+ (originally $105; available in sizes XXS–XL and in four on-sale colors)

Promising review: "Love that I forget I have these on. They disappear under tight clothing. I do wish they came in a higher rise. My hips measure 35.5, so technically the XS should have fit, but they were too small. I ended up keeping the size S." —Meg S

Price: $13.99+ (originally $19.99; available in sizes XS–XL and two color packs)

Promising review: "These shorts are perfect and everything I was looking for. I'm 5'9" with big thighs and used to biker shorts being too short and/or riding up as I walk. I never have to pull these down; they literally fit so amazingly. I'm very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it!" —anonymous

Price: $20.99 (originally $59; available in sizes XXS–XL and three lengths; four other colors available in select sizes)

Promising review: "I have this tee in 7 colors. I love it. It runs very small. I am 5'9, 150, 36C. If you want a snug fit, order your regular size. I don't care for tight or snug, so I have all of these in an XL. My normal top size is an M. They wash great. I dry for 5 minutes, then hang dry. I've washed them dozens of times, and they still look new."  —JulieA

Price: $16.08+ (originally $55; available in sizes XXS–3X, including tall and petite fits, and various other colors in select sizes)

Promising review: "I love the sleek design of this suit, but I typically wear racerback styles. To create that, I used a small hair elastic to cinch the back straps together, and now it is a perfect and lifting fit!" —Jessica R.

Price: $24.48 (originally $95; available in sizes XS–XL and in three other colors/prints)
