Short summary
Choosing a runner’s outfit - what should you pay attention to when buying clothes for running?
They say running is one of the most accessible forms of exercise. We don’t need a gym membership or expensive equipment to start running. But if you want to enjoy comfort during every run, good shoes and running outfit are a must. Contrary to appearances, not every sports clothing will work during jogging. When choosing running clothes, pick those made of functional fabrics that effectively wick away sweat and guarantee thermal comfort in all weathers. Shirts, shorts, and trousers from the CHASE YOUR GOALS collection with the 4F Dry finish absorb moisture from the surface of the skin, providing you with pleasant sensation of dryness. Sports clothes made of cotton won't work during running. Though it’s breathable and healthy for the skin, it absorbs moisture quickly and may cool down the body.

Men’s or women’s running clothing should be as comfortable as possible too. It has to allow for a full range of movements. It cannot chafe or irritate the skin. Seamless running leggings or running leggings with flat seams are therefore a great solution; same applies to shirts made of elastic fabrics that hug the body like second skin. Remember that there’s no “one size fits all” formula for a runner’s outfit. Choose styles that make you feel best, most comfortable and confident.
What to wear for a run? Basic tips
Do you have the right running shoes, and you're wondering how to put together a runner’s outfit? There are two fundamental rules that always work - regardless of the weather outside the window. First and foremost, a running outfit has to:
-
match the weather outside,
-
consist of layers.
To make things easier, we break down the perfect running outfit for every single season of the year.
How to dress for running in spring? A runner’s outfit for 10-20 degrees Celsius
Spring weather can vary a lot. It’s often accompanied by high diurnal temperature amplitudes, but also strong gusts of wind or rainfall. We’ve got to consider all these factors while picking an outfit for a workout. A running outfit suitable for a 10 degree weather will be starkly different to the one we’ll throw on during warmer spring days. What to wear when the weather leaves a lot to be desired?
A perfect running outfit for a 10 degree weather includes:
-
thermal shirt - prevents heat loss, especially in strong wind.
-
running trousers or leggings - when the temperature stays around 10 degrees or reaches 15 degrees, we can choose non-insulated bottoms.
-
running sweatshirt - choose one made of functional fabric that will warm you up and wick away sweat. It comprises a great second layer for a spring workout.
-
running jacket - will come in handy when we’re expecting rain or strong wind. A softshell jacket or a waterproof, light membrane jacket will be a good choice.
Moreover, a good sports bra is a fundamental outfit base item for a female runner. For running choose the one that holds your bust in tight, has adjustable straps and fits perfectly. Blind stitches found in bras from the CHASE YOUR GOALS collection will additionally prevent chafing and irritations.
On colder days it's worth choosing such accessories as a lightweight running hat, a buff or gloves.
Once the temperature outside the window starts to rise, we can ditch one of the layers or swap thermal clothes for a simple training shirt that will wick away sweat. If you’re still wondering how to dress for running in 20 degree weather, choose running leggings or trousers, a sports shirt made of quick-drying fabric and a running sweatshirt or a lightweight softshell that will come in handy on cloudy days.
Outfit for running in the summer. How to dress for running in hot weather?
Hot weather running outfit should be: comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. It’s worth purchasing sports clothes that allow for not only impeccable ventilation, but also keep moisture away from the skin. Don’t know what to wear for hot weather running? It takes just a few items to enjoy thermal comfort:
-
Running shirt - it can be a T-shirt, a tank top, or even a sports top. What’s important is that it’s made of quick-drying, breathable fabric that will wick away sweat. Ventilation zones and flat seams that reduce the risk of chafing are an additional benefit.
-
Running shorts - biker shorts, loose shorts or 2in1 running shorts will work perfectly. What matters is that they’re breathable and have a reliable elastic waist or an adjustable waistband.
-
A baseball cap - will protect your head from excess solar radiation. Choose the one made of a breathable fabric.
A belt or a running backpack may also be useful while running in the summer. These running accessories will fit your water bottle or snacks that are a must, especially on long and demanding routes.
In addition, you can choose clothes with UV protection. Men’s sleeveless shirt from the CHASE YOUR GOALS running collection has a UPV30 finish that reflects UV rays, which decreases the way clothes heat up, thus improving user safety and comfort.
Remember: good hydration is necessary during summer runs. It’s also worth to work out during the time of the day when temperatures are slightly lower. It’s a good idea to run early in the morning or late in the evening, after sunset.

What to wear to run in the autumn? A perfect running outfit for 5-10 degrees Celsius
How to dress for running in autumn? Just like in spring, we choose a layered outfit and check the weather forecast as we go. On sunny and still warm days, a running short, sports leggings or trousers and a sweatshirt are more than enough. But when temperatures outside are starting to drop, and rain or stronger wind occurs, it’s worth taking care of our thermal comfort and protection against soaking. The right running outfit in the autumn includes:
-
thermal shirt - will retain heat but allow the skin to breathe while ensuring unrestricted movement.
-
running leggings or trousers - preferably made of quick-drying fabric.
-
running sweatshirt - will guarantee warmth and protect you against wind. You can always take it off when it gets warmer.
-
running jacket or softshell jacket - key elements when rain is forecast. Choose outerwear that features membranes - it will be comfortable, will allow you to maintain the right body temperature and will keep your skin dry.
It’s also worth purchasing sports accessories for autumn running. A headband or a lightweight sports hat, a buff and thin gloves will save you from cooling down.
Remember: In autumn it gets dark quicker and quicker, so pay attention to reflective element while choosing your running gear on colder days. Thanks to the Reflective technology used in some of the clothes from the CHASE YOUR GOALS collection, light is reflected off your outfit, which makes you visible on the road, even after the sun sets.

How to dress for running in winter? Winter running outfit for cold days. What to wear for a cold-weather workout?
Winter running gear has to go way beyond comfort. Its primary task is to protect against heat loss and foul weather. That’s why choosing a layered outfit and high-quality running clothes is your best bet. High-quality fabrics and modern technologies are key to success - not the thickness of the clothes you wear. By wearing, let’s say, a down jacket, you can starts to sweat quickly and, as a result, cool your body down. On the other hand, far too thick clothes or too many layers can cause discomfort and restrict movements.
Not sure how to dress for running in winter? The optimal runner’s outfit for cold days, at a temperature between 0-5 degrees Celsius, includes:
-
thermal longsleeve - provides warmth, wicks away sweat, doesn’t irritate the skin. You can choose a shirt made of functional synthetic fabric or natural merino wool.
-
thermal leggings or running trousers insulated e.g. with fleece - such clothing won’t restrict movements or overheat you, while ensuring thermal comfort in very low temperatures.
-
running sweatshirt - acts as an insulating layer.
-
running jacket - is designed to protect against external conditions such as rain, snow or wind. Depending on the weather, we can choose a softshell jacket or a jacket with a membrane that prevents water from passing through but wicks away sweat.
CHASE YOUR GOALS collection features men’s trousers and jacket with the 4F Warm technology that provides additional protection against cold and supports the maintenance of constant body temperature.
Accessories are necessary additions to your winter running gear: a sports hat, a warm buff and gloves.
Remember: an important part of a winter running outfit are the right shoes with the tread pattern that guarantees proper grip even on slippery or watery surfaces.
The right running outfit will allow you to work out throughout the entire year, regardless of weather conditions outside. After all, there is no bad weather for running. There are only badly chosen clothes, and when it comes to your training goals - things don’t get done on their own!
