Q&A (RUNNING):5. “What should I wear when running?”

THIS IS A GREAT QUESTIONS!

I’D SUGGEST:

Choosing comfortable, moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester or merino wool to manage sweat and regulate temperature. Cotton should be avoided as it retains moisture and can lead to chafing, blisters, or discomfort. Dress for weather 10–15 degrees Celsius warmer than it actually is, since your body heats up during running. In colder climates, layering is key: a base layer to wick sweat, a middle layer for insulation, and an outer shell for wind or rain protection. Reflective gear is crucial for early morning or nighttime runs to stay visible to traffic. Well-fitting sports bras for women and supportive undergarments reduce discomfort and minimize risk of soft tissue injury. Socks matter too—technical running socks reduce blisters and support foot mechanics. In hot conditions, wear a breathable hat and sunscreen; in winter, gloves and ear coverings help maintain comfort.

Comfort and function should be prioritized over style, though stylish performance wear can boost confidence. The right clothing helps you focus on your movement!
