The Relaxed Crop ones from Jockey are my faves. They're soft and comfy, but they're also made of this durable, matte fabric with flat seams that somehow makes me feel slimmer and all sporty, even if I am mostly just running...errands.
Happily, I have been squeezing in exercise lately. I've got a new work gig, and I've been walking from the train station to the office and back at night. It's a mile each way. In New York, it's a lot more pleasant to walk than to descend into Dante's Inferno (aka the subways), especially during the summer. Besides, walking is the only realistic way for me to squeeze in exercise during the weekdays.
The Jockey people sent me some gear from their staycool line—a reversible tank and t-shirt, undies. The material's made with Outlast technology originally developed for NASA; it's supposed to cool the "micro-climate" around your skin and help maintain your ideal body temp. I loved the silky feel of the shirts, and that they're reversible so you can wear them as a v-neck or crew, but mostly wanted to see if it made me feel any less sweaty during the walk (why yes, I sweat!).
Here's the Jockey staycool commercial. I don't understand why they didn't ask me to star in it, but whatever. Anyway, I speed-walked to and from the office in the staycool tank and briefs a few days in a row. And I actually did feel a little less warm than usual. So, yay, staycool.
