Aritzia Golden Life Essential Camisole in Black ($45) Aritzia Golden Butter Cheeky Hi-Rise 5" Short in Black ($48) Aritzia Golden Butter Alignment Bra Top in Black ($38)
A camisole tank paired with a 5" bike short is kind of my uniform — both on retreat and at home. First, let's talk bike shorts. These shorts have become my go-tos, even over my beloved Beyond Yoga shorts. I feel like it's hard to find a 5" short — a 7" is what I usually see and is slightly too long for what I want when doing yoga, or a 3" running short, which is a bit too short. The 5" length is just right for me, and the high-waist of the Golden shorts stays in place during my whole practice. This pair is in the Golden Butter fabric (as opposed to the Golden Life shorts I talk about later), which is probably my favorite of the two options – it's super soft but also does a great job of adding a smoothing effect.
Now the top. I love the cut of this camisole; the spaghetti straps are barely there while still giving enough support, and the scoop neck never inches up or down, even while upside-down. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it doesn't have a built-in bra. And when I wanted to switch things up, I paired the shorts with the Alignment Bra Top. I'm obsessed with the '90s cut of this bra top — the wide-set straps and straight neckline really speak to me. Plus, it's soft and sweat-wicking.
