Running Clothes Frequently Asked Questions

What clothes are best for running?

Look for clothes made with lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester and nylon to keep you cool and dry when you run. Cotton isn't a good choice for running because it absorbs sweat and makes you feel heavy and clammy. Running apparel should fit snugly but not be too tight. Avoid clothes that are baggy or that chafe. In warm weather, you'll want to wear shorts or a skirt and a tank top or a short sleeved shirt. When it's cold out, add layers like a jacket or vest over a long-sleeved shirt and running tights or leggings.

What should a beginner wear to run?

You don't need a lot of fancy clothes to start running, but there are some general principles to follow. Breathable fabrics such as mesh allow air to circulate and help keep you from overheating. Moisture-wicking fabrics pull sweat away from your skin so you don't feel clammy. Avoid cotton, which can get weighed down by sweat. Tees, tank tops and shorts make great running attire for warm weather. When it's cold out, add layers that you can remove as you warm up. If you're shopping for a sports bra, look for bras made for high impact.

Should running clothes be tight or loose?

The best running outfit is whatever helps you feel comfortable and confident. Clothes that are more snug minimise fabric flapping against your skin, which can cause chafing, especially in areas like the inner thighs and armpits. For serious runners, tighter clothing can offer a slight aerodynamic advantage by reducing wind resistance. Compression tights are believed to improve circulation and reduce muscle fatigue. However, some runners simply find tight clothing uncomfortable, especially in hot weather. For those runners, loose clothes offer a more relaxed feel.
