Normal length, at last. Not tight, not cropped!

The perfect basic. Nice mid-weight fabric, non clingy fit, dresses up or down. Most importantly, NOT CROPPED! I live in Athleta, but it's been nearly impossible to find a normal length top (both back and front) in the last few years. And when you do, it comes in only a few colors, like this one. I h...ave them all (short and long sleeve), but black, navy and white can get repetitive. Please, more colors!

Bizarre shoulder seams

Bought this top in navy, size medium — same size as another Athleta long sleeve top I've had for a few years and love. But this one had ridiculously wide shoulders. The seams fell way off my shoulders, and my shoulders are on the wide side. Seemed defective - bad quality control? Colors is nice, fab...ric is nice, but I had to return it. Unwearable.

I have a few versions of the Essential Top (short sleeve, long sleeve, v-neck, crew-neck) and in various colors. This top is comfortable with just the right amount of stretch. I love that I can just pull them out of my dresser for effortless, sporty styling! Am a 38C chest and a medium fit well with a little extra room. Good quality top!

Comments about Essential Long Top

I like the length and fit of the shirt when worn with leggings. I am between and S and M at Athleta and the small worked best for me in this top.

Love the fabric, weight and cut of this Essential Long Top that I bought in white, size S. Height 5'6"; weight 135. It's a good length, too. Not too long or too cropped.

Finally, a long sleeve crew neck shirt that fits nicely, doesn't shrink when washed and comes out of the dryer without a wrinkle! It holds it's shape, doesn't stretch out and is perfect for layering.
