Jogging clothes that also look good outside the home

Short answer: Jogging clothes look good outside the home when the cut is calm, the colours are simple and the fabric holds its shape. Choose plain pieces, avoid too much print and combine them with clean shoes and a tidy top. Then you can wear them all day.

What makes jogging clothes look good

Good joggers have a calm fit, a clean waistband and a fabric that falls well without showing every fold. Clothes that are worn or have pilled quickly look like loungewear. Start by choosing pieces that are in good condition, suit your body and that you like to wear.

Choose a colour that works everywhere

Black, grey, navy and beige are easy to wear outside the home because they look more put together than light or strong colours. If the whole set is the same colour, it looks like an outfit and not random loungewear. Choose a shade that suits the rest of your wardrobe.

The trousers need a calm fall

Look at how the trousers fall over the legs. A light, smooth fabric with some weight hangs better than a thin one that clings. Try sitting down and walking around in them. See our bamboo sweatpants for women and judge whether the legs fall the way you like.

The top makes the difference

A hoodie or sweatshirt in a calm cut suits joggers if it is not too short or too big. See our bamboo hoodie for women and check whether the hood sits neatly. On warm days you can choose a thin top instead, so you can add and remove layers.

Layers under and over

Thin tops can be worn as a layer under a hoodie and make sure you do not get too warm. See our bamboo tops for women, which give a soft first layer. When the top layer comes off, the whole still looks tidy, because the top underneath sits calmly and is a plain shade.

Shoes and accessories

Clean, simple shoes lift jogging clothes more than anything else. Trainers in a calm colour work well, while very worn shoes pull the look down. Add a bag or a scarf if you want to give the look a little more shape, but keep it simple so the clothes still feel relaxed.

Fit matters more than brand

Jogging clothes only look good if they fit. If the trousers are too long they sit in folds over the shoe, and if the top is too big the figure disappears. Try different sizes and choose the one where the clothes fall naturally. That matters more than which set it comes from.

Care so it keeps looking good

Wash jogging clothes according to the care label and avoid high heat. Turn the clothes inside out to protect the surface so you avoid pilling. Hang them up straight after washing so they do not crease. A set that keeps its shape can be worn out for longer than one that wears and goes slack.
