Women's and men's sportswear needs to do more than look the part. Whether you're going to the gym, running, walking, doing studio workouts or simply wearing it day to day, fit, fabric and practical details all matter. A low price may be tempting, but the wrong style, an unclear size guide or a fabric that doesn't breathe well could leave you barely wearing it.
Words such as “breathable”, “performance” and “moisture-wicking” don't tell you much if the product specifications are missing. Always check the fabric composition. For example, polyester with elastane offers stretch, while cotton with polyester can feel softer for everyday wear.
According to the product description, the Under Armour Tech Hi Capri is made from 87% polyester and 13% elastane. The manufacturer also lists four-way stretch and quick-drying, moisture-wicking properties. These are verifiable product specifications, but they don't mean the leggings will feel the same for everyone.
Sizes vary between brands, styles and countries. Women's sports leggings, for example, might fit well around the waist but feel too loose around the hips. With men's joggers, leg length may matter more than the standard size.
So take the following measurements:
Compare your measurements with the product page. For example, the Under Armour Tech Hi Capri lists waist and hip measurements for each size, as well as an inside leg of 56 cm. That's more helpful than relying on “true to size” alone.
A lightweight women's sports top is suitable for training or studio workouts, but not necessarily for cold weather outdoors. Warm men's joggers can be comfortable for warm-ups and everyday wear, but may not be the best choice for intense cardio.
Check the care label, too. Many synthetic sportswear fabrics need a cold wash and low drying temperatures, and shouldn't be washed with fabric conditioner. According to many care guides, fabric conditioner can affect the properties of technical fabrics. Always follow the label on the specific garment.
For intense activity, fabrics containing elastane or another stretch fibre are practical. Four-way stretch can support movement in multiple directions. With women's sports leggings or a sports top, seam finishing matters, too. Flat seams can make a garment more comfortable to wear, but the overall feel depends on the fit and how sensitive your skin is.
A cotton blend may feel more comfortable for everyday wear. According to the product information, the Under Armour Sportstyle Logo T-shirt is made from 60% cotton and 40% polyester. This makes it an interesting option for a men's sports T-shirt for light training, travel or casual wear.
“Breathable sportswear” doesn't mean that every garment lets the same amount of air through. Look for mesh panels, lightweight fabric and details in the product description. For example, the Under Armour Launch 7” 2-in-1 Shorts feature highly breathable mesh panels and moisture-wicking fabric. According to the brand, they're designed to draw sweat away from the skin and dry quickly.
This type of design can be useful for running or intense gym sessions. For walking or everyday wear, pockets, the waistband and freedom of movement can be just as important.
A high waistband can provide extra coverage with women's sports leggings. A drawcord lets you adjust the fit. For men's joggers, ribbed cuffs and tapered legs are practical details for a close-fitting look.
Check the pockets, too. A zipped pocket or internal phone pocket can come in handy when walking or training, but make sure it won't get in the way during floor exercises.

We've put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Choose a combination of freedom of movement, stretch and moisture management. Women's sports leggings with elastane and a lightweight sports top are practical for exercises that involve plenty of movement. For men, a polyester sports T-shirt or sports shorts with an inner short could be a good choice. Always check the size and care label.
How long it lasts depends on how often you wear it, the intensity of your workouts, the wash cycle and how you dry it. Washing in cold water, washing with similar colours and avoiding fabric conditioner can help preserve the shape and fabric for longer. Replace a garment if the seams start to come undone, the waistband no longer fits properly or the fabric looks noticeably thinner.
A sports outfit is usually designed for movement and may include features such as stretch, moisture management and mesh panels. A two-piece women's outfit is often better suited to everyday wear, travel or a coordinated look. So check that the fabric, fit and care instructions are right for the activity you have in mind.
