All the NYC Pilates Cool Girls Are Wearing This Flattering Spring Top
One thing that has always bothered me about workout sets is that they typically come with just a matching bra and leggings, without any consideration for what top to wear over them. Thankfully, wrap tops have made a resurgence, and overnight, it seems like everyone in my New York City workout class has embraced the Prima Ballerina aesthetic (sans tutu) in their neutral wraps.
Not only do wrap tops let you show off your matching set, but they also add the right amount of warmth and coverage (because let’s be real, workout studios are freezing!). They’re easy to throw on, pair nicely with what you already own, and some styles can even be worn backward—a versatile, two-in-one solution when you need an extra layer.
While they might seem like something reserved for TikTokers romanticizing their 5-to-9 before their 9-to-5, wrap tops are flattering on all, lightweight enough to toss into a bag or suitcase, and elevate your look, even when you don’t feel put together. Keep reading for a few of my favorite styles, starting at $25.

Whether you’re dancing, doing pilates or yoga, or just lounging around the city, this wrap top is so comfortable you’ll forget you’re even wearing it. At under $30, it’s a must-add to your cart, especially since you can style it multiple ways just by adjusting the tie.

Revolve
Calling all Pilates princesses! This wrap top can be worn three different ways, depending on the coverage you want or how you style it. Think of it as a buy-one, get-two-free deal. And it’s not just about looks—it’s made from a patented sweat-wicking fabric that keeps you cool and comfortable.
Sisterly Tribe Soft Ballet Wrap Top
Sisterly Tribe
Buttery soft, I’ve already worn this Portuguese-made top to exhaustion. While it isn’t technically designed to be worn backward, I tore off the label and started wearing it that way, and no one in my class is the wiser. Available in sizes XS to XL, it comes in four neutral shades: black, espresso, clay, and off-white. Plus, it features thumb holes, which, if I’m being honest, might be my favorite part.
Neiwei Ballet Knotted Cardigan
Neiwai
Sheer and reversible, this top is a versatile addition to any closet, especially for those looking to shop more mindfully. Crafted from a breathable linen-textured nylon blend, it’s lightweight enough for even the sweatiest, heated classes. Just be sure to hand wash it to keep it in top shape.
