Running clothes: The basic elements of your running wardrobe

Running is one of the most accessible forms of exercise that can improve both your physical health and mental well-being. But to get the most out of every run, it's essential to have the right equipment.

Running shorts from Birk1972

A good pair of running shorts is the foundation of your running wardrobe. The best running tights or shorts minimize chafing, support your muscles and ensure you can move freely. For the colder months, a pair of long running tights can provide extra warmth without sacrificing freedom of movement. When choosing running shorts, look for materials that are breathable and quick drying to avoid feeling wet and uncomfortable during your run.


  • Take, for example, our RUN SHORTS 5" . RUN shorts are specially made for running on hot days, but can be used perfectly for many other forms of training and activities - especially if you are one of those who prefer short shorts. We made them in a special stretchy rib-stop material that makes them super strong and adds a 'sublime' military look.They sit close to the body without being in any way uncomfortable.The material feels light, thin and airy and gives you optimal freedom of movement.

Running shirts from Birke1972

A good running shirt is just as important as your running shorts or pants. Whether you prefer short or long sleeves, your running shirt should be made of light, breathable materials that transport sweat away from the body. This helps regulate your body temperature and keeps you dry and comfortable.


  • Here our MERINO TEE can be a good choice. Our tee is made from a 17 micron, 145 gram merino that is knitted in Denmark. You get a perfect and super functional tee that feels very light at the same time. The hollow fibers retain heat when it is cool and, conversely, they cool when it is hot. A special feature of merino is that it can absorb a relatively large amount of sweat before it feels wet. This makes it super comfortable, no matter what kind of training you do. Depending on the season, you can use it as an inner or outer layer for running, outdoors or just for everyday use - where it is also perfect under a shirt.

Sports bras for women

For female runners, a supportive sports bra is an essential part of the running wardrobe. The right sports bra reduces movement and minimizes the risk of discomfort or damage to the breast tissue. It is important to choose a sports bra that suits your body type and the type of exercise you do. Be sure to try different models to find the one that provides the best support and comfort.


Running socks from Birke1972

Last but not least are running socks. Many people underestimate the importance of a good pair of running socks, but the right socks can prevent blisters, support the arch and ensure your feet stay dry and comfortable. Choose running socks made from materials that transport moisture away from the skin and have padded areas for extra comfort on long runs.


  • Take a look at our SOCKS . These socks are constructed with carefully selected materials that work together to enhance your training experience and keep your feet in top shape during even the most demanding activities. You will immediately feel that they cool your feet when you put them on.

Our specially selected hygroscopic polyester is the heart of these socks. This unique fiber is created to absorb sweat and quickly transport it away from your feet. The result is a cool, dry and comfortable feeling, even during intense training.


Choose breathable and moisture-wicking materials

When choosing running clothes, the most important criterion is the quality of the material. Technical materials designed to breathe and transport sweat away from the body are essential to keep you dry and comfortable. These materials also help regulate body temperature in different weather conditions, making them an investment in your running comfort and performance.


By gathering the right basics in your running wardrobe, you ensure that you have the necessary equipment to support your passion for running, whatever the season. Remember, the right running gear doesn't just make your running experience more comfortable; it also helps improve your performance and prevent injuries. So take your time to choose the equipment that best suits your needs and enjoy every kilometer of your running journey.
