Is it just us, or does it sometimes feel like whatever activewear we choose has the ability to make or break a yoga workout? For example, deciding to opt for butter-soft leggings or picking a superbreathable top can really make a world of difference when you're getting those last Cat poses in. Make that yoga sequence a hot one, and there's even more at stake. To help navigate the tricky world of dressing for hot yoga, we've put together 15 of the best hot-yoga tops that you can wear while getting your sweat on. From tanks that feature sweat-wicking technology to crop tops and sports bras that are designed with optimal ventilation in mind, these options will help keep you calm, cool, and comfortable during your next hot-yoga session.

The Nike Yoga Woman's Infinalon Cropped Tank ($55) is a great option for steamy hot-yoga practices as its Dri-Fit fabric helps keep you drier longer. The unique strap design on the back also adds an extra "oomph" to your workout ensemble.
