Breezy Singlet. Also shown are the Running in the City 7/8 Tights. I'm not sure what bra would look best with this tank but these photos really bug my OCD. The White Breezy Tank is shown with the new Alarming Orange Energy Bra.
Running in the City Tank and Iris Flower Pace Rival Crops. The crops are way more vibrant than in this photo.

I really like having mesh on the back of my knee. That's why I like the Pace Rival Crops over the Inspire Crops. The All You Need Tight is great for the same reason. Too much mesh for me on the Running In The City Tight...maybe it's how it's colored? Where is the Pace Rival in the palm party gator green??? I NEED them.
I tried on the To and Flow Wrap today. Not really my style, but thought the stretch french terry fabric was amazingly awesome! TTS for me. 5'6" 125b 34C/D size 6.
Pace Rival in Iris Flower looks great...probably better color in the Pleat To Street Skirt for me tho. I wonder why there is no solid color CRB or Power Y or any other solid tank in Iris Flower? I don't it. Such a miss imho. Maybe it's coming?
No bra would look best. They needed to save that back for a tank with a built-in bra.
@ Alejandra - I agree. It's a cute back but it's going to compete with your bra straps.
Sometimes there is just too much happening in the new tank designs. Less can be more, LLL.
How about a flow y bra since it is simple in the back? But I agree - probably with any bra it will look cluttered back there.
It's seems the length on the iris pace rivals compared to the color blocked ones is completely different or one of these models is super short! I would love it if they were the same length as inspires.
Also - OT but I got the roll down WUCs in star crush that I ordered from WMTM last week - they are total winners! I love them. I recently started buying sixes in all my crops to avoid the dreaded muffin top (up from 4s) and the waist is always a bit loose and they are not as compressive. But these crops, perhaps due to the higher poly content, are nice and snug and the roll down waist sucks everything in! I'm a WUC fan again.
LLA, I laughed out loud about your OCD comment. I couldnt figure out why the back was bothering me until you said that. Guess it bothers my OCD too! It looks too busy and messy. Fancy straps can look really good if placed properly. This is just a mess. They should have made that tank with a built in bra.
What is the point of the mesh on the chest of the running in the city tank? Seems like it would just choke you, and you'd have to put sunscreen under it anyway, so there goes the white color. I guess it's supposed to be Sexy because it's Mesh?
I already have weird runner tan lines - that singlet will just make it even worse. It doesn't bother me about the bra straps/back of tank competing mostly because when I run I don't really care as long as I'm comfortable but that's gonna be some seriously weird tan lines for sure.
As a woman who runs alone a lot the last thing I want is to draw more attention to myself - which those Running in the City tights and crops do. Sort of screams "hooker" to me - not what I really want as a runner. I think those would be more at home and cute in a dance studio than running on the street.
It's like 100 degrees. Enough with the long sleeves, jackets and tights already. Although LLA do you think these were supposed to be Fall/Winter items that got hung up in the port mess and they are just now getting it?
@ anon 8:45 am - I do think they were delayed items. Interesting point about the sheerness being a potential perv lure while running outside.
@ anon 8:19 am - I think it's supposed to be sexy.
Hi LuluAddict, could i ask for a color comparison between iris flower and power purple? Coz they look mighty same to me. Thanks.
@Eve - I don't have any Iris Flower stuff yet but when I get a piece I will make one. I think Iris Flower is supposed to closer to Bold Blue and Bruised Berry.
Sexy is strong and athletic without trying to be while being decent and tasteful in your workout gear. None of this is it. I completely agree with the hooker comment on those running in the city tights. Yes, LLL has had some mesh in prior versions of tights and it was practical for ventilation and didn't give an overloaded hooker look. As for the breezy singlet or whatever it's called, no thanks. Way too busy with any bra - even straight straps. A built in would be a good idea but then where is the complementing support in the back? Don't think the back "ladder" is going to do it.
I think my LLL bottom line now is just CRBs if they can manage to keep the quality (ick to the recent heathered versions) and some swiftly tops. Even speed shorts are kind of duds lately, imho.
I don't know what Laurent's vision is but can we exit on the streetwalker theme already?
those tights are not very practical for a few reasons. I bet that mesh will snag if you try and do floor work in these tights. The hooker comment is also right on. I like to be visible when I run in the city, but not slutty visible.
