What to Wear Running

These ready-made activewear outfits will help you look and reach your personal best

By: George Elliot

Whether you’re starting a new exercise routine but haven't sprinted since school, or you’re a seasoned athlete with miles and miles under your belt, knowing what to wear running can be a balancing act. You’ll want durable leggings that aid flexibility, as well as supportive running tops that’s also breathable for when you inevitably break a sweat. To put all these concerns behind you, discover Liberty’s range of purpose-built, technically developed activewear before jumping to the even better bit: how to style them.

Errand Runner

If you’re the kind of multitasker who likes to clock up the miles and tick-off a few daily tasks along the way - be that a stop-off at the post office or dry cleaners - you’ll need an outfit that’s fit for both. The fix? Add a layer with inbuilt pockets like Acne Studios’ Fleece Sweatshirt, £490, and then opt for a small, lightweight bag like Ganni’s Quilted Tech Fabric Baguette, £135. It has an adjustable strap for a secure fit, so it’ll stow your essentials without throwing you off your stride.

Go for Bold

Heading out for a run is already proven to improve your mental wellbeing, but for that added feel-good factor, piece together an outfit that harnesses the mood-boosting potential of cheerful colours and vibrant prints. Printed in tropical hues, wear Liberty’s Betsy Leggings, £95 with the Short-Sleeve T-Shirt, £70 by Comme des Garçons PLAY for a pairing that’s tonal, motivational and a vision of joy; just what you need to put a pep in your step.

All-Weather Runner

Chilly weather and downpours are enough to make most put-off their running routines until warmer climes return, but not All-Weather Runners. No springtime shower will stop you in your tracks. What you need is a comfortable, multi-layered outfit that’s breathable when you’re hot, warm when you’re cold and most importantly, rain resistant, so never leave the house without Liberty’s element blocking Alpine Windbreaker, £195.

Twin Set, Go!

On a tight schedule? Deciding on an outfit can sometimes eat into your running time, but wear a ready-made co-ord like the A.P.C. Jeanne Liberty Print Top, £125 and matching Shorts, £125 and you’ll be ready in almost no time at all. Once on, then bring your styling know-how into play as co-ords like this with its maximalist array of technicolour florals often need an extra piece of two for visual balance. Water repellent and block coloured in sky-blue, RAINS’ String W Jacket, £105 is the kind of pared-back pick that’ll bring sartorial harmony.

Runway Runner

At the core of every activewear outfit needs to be functionality, but that’s not to say you can’t exercise your legs and sense of style at the same time. Invest in the essentials but also some key, logo-embossed pieces that’ll provide instant outfit elevation, time and time again like Moncler’s Cenis Down Gilet, £825. Pair it with Bottega Veneta’s Cat-Eye Acetate Sunglasses, £320 and consider the line between fashion and activewear fully erased.
