Varley Tayah Zip Through Midlayer Top in Black

The sporty layer that somehow makes leggings look like an actual outfit. Very useful.

The Varley Tayah Zip Through Midlayer Top in Black is exactly the kind of activewear we wanted when we brought Varley into BWD—functional enough to earn its place in your gym bag, but polished enough that you won’t immediately want to change out of it afterwards.

The zip-through design gives it a clean, modern feel and makes it brilliant for layering, while black keeps everything sleek and easy. Wear it zipped up when you want a streamlined silhouette or open over a simple vest or crop top for something more relaxed.

Gym clothes that understand they may also be required to go for lunch. Finally.

Why it made the cut

• The zip-through design makes it an incredibly useful layering piece.
• Black keeps the sporty silhouette feeling clean and elevated.
• Perfect for throwing on before or after a workout without adding bulky layers.
• Works just as well with leggings as it does with cargo pants or relaxed trousers.
• It’s another great example of why we bought Varley: activewear that doesn’t scream activewear.

How we’d wear it…

With the Varley FreeSoft™ High Rise Leggings, Shea Crop Top and trainers for a sleek all-black look, adding the Lasson Belt Bag when you’re heading out.

We’d also wear it with The Cargo Pant 25″, trainers and an oversized coat for travelling or running around town.

Hair up. Sunglasses on. Nobody needs to know whether you’ve actually been to the gym.

Care

Wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colours and avoid fabric softener where performance fabrics are used. Zip the garment before washing, air dry naturally where possible and always follow the care label instructions.

We like activewear with ambition. Gym at nine, coffee at ten, lunch at one. No outfit change required.
