What owners report about Gymshark tops

Owner reports on Gymshark's tops are mixed on construction quality. One long-term tester found the fabric on a t-shirt "stretchy, lightweight, fast drying" but flagged shoulder-seam construction that didn't sit flat and pinched, concluding "I don't think I'd get another one. The sewing quality and finishing just wasn't there for me." Other write-ups describe the tops fabric more favorably, calling it smooth and lightweight, and note tops tend to outlast Gymshark's leggings and sports bras since they lean less heavily on elastane.

Strengths: Owners generally describe the tops as lightweight, stretchy, and fast-drying, with tops reported to hold up longer than Gymshark's more elastane-heavy leggings and sports bras.
Watch out for: At least one long-term reviewer flagged uneven shoulder-seam construction on a t-shirt that didn't sit flat and pinched, calling the sewing and finishing a letdown; another source warns that machine drying degrades the elastane and shape.
Sizing: Tops are reported to run closer to standard sizing than Gymshark's seamless leggings, though sizing is said to vary between collections so checking the size chart per style is recommended.
