Running apparel: tops, shorts, jackets
Seven o'clock in the morning, light rain and ten degrees: this is where running clothing makes the difference, between a tough run and an outing you want to do again.
T-shirts, vests, shorts, leggings, waterproof jackets, sweats and socks: the page dresses up running for men, women and juniors.
The three layers for runners
In cold weather, you dress in layers. The first layer, close to the skin, wicks away sweat: technical shirt or t-shirt. The second layer, a sweatshirt or long-sleeved top, retains heat. The third layer, a windbreaker or waterproof jacket, protects against wind and rain. In summer, the first layer is enough, along with lightweight shorts.
Shorts, leggings or compression shorts: the lower half of your outfit
Shorts are the choice for nice days and interval training. Leggings cover you in winter and protect against chafing. Compression shorts, shorter and tighter, prevent your thighs from rubbing on long distances. Many runners combine compression shorts under loose-fitting shorts.

Frequently asked questions
At what temperature should you run in leggings?
Many runners switch to leggings when it’s cool, around ten degrees. It’s mostly about how it feels: if your legs are cold, cover them up.
Can you run in a handball jersey?
A polyester handball jersey works fine for a jog. Running jerseys are often lighter and better ventilated, with seams designed to reduce chafing over time.
What colour should you wear to run in the city?
A bright or fluorescent colour makes you visible to cars and cyclists, especially in the morning and evening. Add reflective elements if you’re running at night.
How can you avoid smells in technical textiles?
Wash it soon after wearing, inside out and at a low temperature, without fabric softener. Don’t leave it damp at the bottom of a bag. A rinse with white vinegar helps from time to time.
Do you need a waterproof or windproof jacket?
The windproof jacket is more breathable, ideal for dry and windy weather. The waterproof jacket protects from rain but breathes a bit less. If you run in all kinds of weather, a lightweight waterproof jacket is the most versatile.
