I Made a Post About This Free People Movement Top and It Went Viral. Here's Why You'll Love it.
It was my birthday last week and I had a particular Free People Movement top on my wishlist. Let me break it down for you.
I had been eyeing this top for so long because it looked like the comfiest, form-fitting workout top that could double as a loungewear top. I loved that it came in 35 different colors too because hello!! You could have a color for each day of the week! Or the month.
Well, low and behold, I opened my birthday gift and there was the top. In all its glory. And another color of the same top underneath. Of course, I jumped up and down because I was so excited to finally own this top.
And, if I’m being honest, I was already determined I wanted to own every single color of this top but I just wasn’t sure when I’d make the move to begin that journey. But once I saw those tops laying before my eyes, it was go-time.
I immediately tried on the top and it was everything I imagined and more. I LOVE IT.
The Material
The material is slightly ribbed which I like because it adds more texture and interest. It’s on the thicker side which makes the top feel sturdy and snug. It’s perfect for exercising because I don’t need to wear an additional bra or top. I just wear the top as is. (I’m a size 34B for reference.)
It’s not wicked tight or suffocating like some bra tops or sports bras can be around the rib cage. This top has the perfect amount of stretch which makes it feel so comfortable while still being form-fitting. 10/10 for comfort.
The Neckline
The neckline quite literally resembles an uppercase U. The straps come down right beside the neck and hit about an inch under the collar bone. I wouldn’t normally go for scoop necks because I have really broad shoulders, but the way this is designed is so flattering, especially with my broad shoulders. Trust me.
The Sides
The sides of the top dip down a little lower than your average sports bra, allowing for lots of armpit room and room to sweat without getting sweat stains on the top. If you’re anything like me and don’t like wearing tops that come close to your armpits (I don’t own a single short sleeve top hehe) then this will be perfect for you.
The Length and Back Detail
The length of the top hits about two inches above my belly button, allowing the top to meet my high-waisted leggings right at the narrowest part of my waist. A follower of mine who works at Free People mentioned that if you are a size large or extra-large, the top will fit more like a sports bra, therefore the length will be closer to your bust than it will your belly button.
Lastly, the back. It’s a racerback that lays right between your shoulder blades and features their FP Movement logo in the center.
Then, I posted a candid review of the Free People top on Pinterest and it went viral.
I made the most candid video review of the top which I filmed in my boyfriend’s room in one take. The room was messy and deff not my usual aesthetic. I was wearing sweats, my hair was frizzy and undone, my eyebrows weren’t brushed up, my nails were chipped, and I didn’t cover up my acne.
I described the top in the same way I mentioned it above, making sure to show off the stretch and details, and of course, talked very enthusiastically and with my hands as I always do. (I’m more animated on camera and in real life than I can express through writing.)
And holy shit, my video popped off.
I had no idea that my little video review would resonate with so many people. I’m talking 3.5 million people saw my video!!
But, the top truly deserves that. To me, this FP Movement top is the perfect lounge workout top hybrid and I could not recommend it enough if you’re looking for just that. And personally, I’ve been so tired of wearing sweats and hoodies each day as I work from home and this top just elevates my mood, makes me feel more put together, energizes me (when I wear my bright colored one), and keeps me feeling comfortable without making me feel lazy.
