A men's jogging suit in town, on the road and on the sofa

Short answer: A men's jogging suit can be worn in three places if you choose the right cut and fabric. In town it should be plain and well fitting, on the road soft and roomy, and on the sofa comfort is what counts. Here is what to think about.

One set, three situations

A jogging suit is practical because the trousers and top are made to go together. You can wear it all day and change situation without changing clothes. That does require a set that is both comfortable and looks tidy when you step out of the door.

A men's jogging suit in town

If a men's jogging suit is going to be worn in town, choose a plain, calm shade that does not look like pyjamas. The fit should be relaxed but not baggy, and the length should end at the ankle. Look at a bamboo jogging suit for men to compare cuts and colours, and pair it with clean sneakers.

On the road the set should be soft and roomy

On a long journey you often sit for hours, so the set should leave room to move. Choose a soft fabric, a waistband that does not press and a top that does not pull across the shoulders. Bamboo in clothing is viscose made from bamboo, and many people find the fabric pleasant to sit in for a long time.

Layer upon layer on planes and trains

On planes and trains the temperature changes, so it is handy to be able to add and remove layers. Wear a thin layer underneath and let the jogging suit be the outer layer, so you can open or take off the top if you get warm. Check the pockets, so you can keep a ticket and phone close.

On the sofa comfort is what counts

At home comfort decides, and the set may well be a little looser. Elastic at the waist and a soft fabric mean you can sit, lie and stretch without feeling your clothes. If you want to wear the trousers on their own, look at bamboo sweatpants for men.

Choose the top to suit the occasion

The top is the part people notice most. In town you can wear a smarter T-shirt underneath, and bamboo T-shirts for men suit well if you want a simple layer. On the road and on the sofa you can leave the top as it is.

Mix and match with the rest of your clothes

A jogging suit can also be split up, so the trousers go with a shirt or polo and the top with ordinary trousers. That gives more combinations from what you already own, and the set does not suit only one situation. Try different combinations and see what works for you.

Care so the set keeps its shape

Follow the care label and avoid high heat, so the fabric and elastic keep their shape. Wash trousers and top together so they wear evenly and keep the same shade, and let them dry flat or hanging. Fold the set neatly when you pack, so it does not crease on the journey.
