WOMEN'S RUNNING LEGGINGS, TIGHTS & SHORTS

Prioritise sweat-wicking, quick-drying fabrics with plenty of stretch for comfort and freedom of movement. Look for high-rise waistbands, flat seams to prevent chafing, and practical details like zipped or drop-in pockets for essentials. Reflective accents and ventilated panels can also boost safety and breathability on your runs.

Yes, options include full-length, 7/8, capri, and compression leggings. Full-length and thermal tights are great for cold weather, while capris and lightweight styles suit warmer days. Compression leggings support muscles and aid recovery, and many styles offer petite or plus-size fits for a tailored experience.

Leggings and tights provide more coverage and support, making them ideal for cooler weather or longer runs. Shorts are best for hot conditions or those who prefer maximum ventilation and freedom. Consider your climate, comfort, and the distance you plan to cover when choosing between these options.

Compression leggings and tights apply gentle pressure to improve blood flow, reduce muscle fatigue, and support recovery. They can help minimise swelling and soreness during and after long runs, making them a popular choice for both performance and recovery.

You’ll find top brands such as Nike, adidas, Ronhill, Under Armour, New Balance, and more. These brands are known for their technical fabrics, reliable fits, and thoughtful features designed to support runners of every level.
