Welcome back to Editor's Essentials, a Wednesday feature in which editors from around the Racked network discuss their all-time best buys.

It takes a special breed to have it together enough to workout in the summertime (the heat! the lazy pool days! the margaritas!). It also takes summer-specific gear to workout in the summertime—in or outdoors. Find here the warm-weather workout staples we turn to for breaking a sweat when we're already sweating, from cropped tights to a hot yoga-specific bra and the barre shorts one editor describes as "well ventilated."
