Adidas was the brand that brought tracksuits to the forefront of the athletic wear industry in the 1960s, and they continue to produce high-quality, affordable, and trend-forward options. Pair Adidas’ Adicolor Classics Track Jacket with Adidas’ Adicolor Classics Plush Track Pants for a full set that can take you anywhere.

This combo offers the classic style of the brand’s original tracksuits, with a few modern touches. We love that the set manages to be fashionable while also being functional and simple, and comes at a relatively affordable price point.

One thing that sets the Adidas Adicolor Classics Tracksuit apart is its faux suede finish made of partially-recycled polyester. The faux suede works well as an athleisure wear option and allows you to move around without the telltale—and sometimes loud—“swish swish” sound of many nylon tracksuits. Made with 92 percent recycled polyester, we love that this set is sustainably made.

And while the Adicolor Classics Tracksuit may not offer as many performance-focused features as other tracksuits on our list (it’s not water- or wind-resistant, for example), the loose fit and slight stretch to the material allows you to move around comfortably on rest days and during light exercise, like leisurely morning walks. We love that this tracksuit can be purchased as a full set or separately for added mix-and-match versatility.

For a classic tracksuit at a bargain price point, look no further than MACHLAB’s Men’s Activewear Full Zip Tracksuit. This tracksuit comes as a set, so you don’t have to shell out separately for the jacket and pants, and the cost of the suit is less than what many brands sell individual pieces for. We love that the set comes in a wide range of colors, from standard navy and white to bright yellow and blue.

While the tracksuit’s fabric is breathable and lightweight, it’s not necessarily moisture-wicking, so it’s better for lower-intensity exercises like light jogging, hiking, and casual walks. We do like that it features four pockets (two on the jacket and two on the pants), a stand collar to help block out wind, and a drawstring waistband for a comfortable fit. Plus, the polyester material is comfortable and slightly stretchy, so it moves well for basic activities.

One thing to keep in mind is that the tracksuit runs small, so it’s best to size up, especially if you like a looser fit. The pants also run on the shorter side, so the fit may not work for taller individuals.

Under Armour focuses on providing high-quality, high-performance workout apparel, and the Women’s UA Tricot doesn’t disappoint. It’s a great option for those looking for a workout-friendly tracksuit. We love that the suit is sold as a set at a reasonable price point. It also has a high-stand collar and is constructed of a sweat-wicking, quick-drying polyester that makes it a great option for getting sweaty at the gym or training with your favorite outdoor workout gear. Although we wish it came in more color options, we do like its two classic colorways that offer a sleek, laid-back look—black with white striping and light gray with darker gray striping.

We love the fitted look of this tracksuit, which isn’t too loose or too compressive. But it does run on the slimmer side, so we suggest sizing up if you’re in doubt. And, while the 27.75-inch pant inseam is great for most women, if you’re taller than 5 feet, 9 inches, it may end up feeling or looking a little short.

Like our women’s top choice, our best men’s tracksuit pick offers a combination of classic style with performance features. Reebok’s Classics Vector Track Jacket can be paired with Reebok’s Classic Vector Track Pants for a full tracksuit set. The set comes in a classic red, white, and navy colorway with a bold Reebok logo. We like that this option is made with a more classic nylon outer shell which helps block wind and water to keep you comfortable in inclement weather. The only downside of this outer shell is that it makes the whole getup noisier when walking, so if you don’t like the “swish swish” sound of a classic tracksuit, you may want to look for a different option.

We like that this option features two, fully-zippable pockets on the jacket and pants, making it easier to store cash, phones, and keys when on the go, without worrying about them falling out. Plus, the 100 percent recycled material will make you feel good about the clothing you’re wearing.

The track pants and jacket are offered in a wide range of sizes, and because they’re sold separately, we like that it’s easier to mix and match to find the right fit.

^{Key Specs:
Best for: Moderate exercise, athleisure | Fit: Loose | Sizes: 2XS (pants only), XS (pants only), S-XXL | Materials: Nylon, polyester}

Lacoste’s Water-Repellent Jacket can be paired with the matching Lacoste Water-Repellent Trackpants for a lightweight, fashionable, and surprisingly functional tracksuit that’s great for both lounging and outdoor exercise. The recycled polyester material is water-repellent, which is great for playing sports or running in the rain, and the taffeta fabric is known for being particularly lightweight. These features, along with the jacket’s removable hood, hidden interior pockets, and fully zippable exterior pockets, make it a great option for spring or fall outdoor activities. The weather protection of this tracksuit is also a plus, especially for days when you need some lightweight protection from the elements.

The classic design of the tracksuit and its regular fit may be considered a pro or a con, depending on what you’re looking for. And given the higher price point of this brand-name tracksuit, you may not want to wear it for activities that involve mud or lots of dirt. Fortunately, it’s machine washable on a gentle cycle for an easy clean, but shouldn’t be put in the dryer.

Matching lululemon’s Fleece Hiking Zip-Up Jacket with lululemon’s In Mind Pant gives you a fit that looks less like a classic tracksuit and more like athleisure outerwear. We love that this pairing can easily transition from the yoga studio to the hiking trail to a casual Saturday morning with friends.

The Fleece Hiking Zip Up is a water-repellent, hooded jacket with a full-zip front and zippable exterior pockets, as well as a hidden phone sleeve. This makes it perfect for outdoor activities, whether you’re heading out for a run or you’re simply running errands. And the In Mind Pants are sleek enough to pass for “business casual” in some offices but also offer sweat-wicking performance material with four-way stretch that’s perfect for yoga, running, hiking, and more.

In terms of versatility and performance, it’s hard to beat this set, but it does come at a higher price point compared to others on our list. Plus, it doesn’t have the classic tracksuit look with bold colors and graphics, so if you’re looking to relive the ‘60s and ‘90s tracksuit trends in the modern age, this may not be the pick for you.

^{Key Specs:
Best for: Moderate exercise, casual wear | Fit: True-to-size jacket, slim/tapered pants | Sizes: XS-XXL | Materials: Polyester/elastane jacket, nylon/polyester/elastane/elastomultiester pants}

Most tracksuits on our list are best suited for mild weather conditions, but pair Adidas’ Adventure Winter Fabric Mix Hoodie and Adidas’ Adventure Winter Fabric Mix Track Pants and you get the perfect tracksuit for heading outside as the temperature drops. Made of recycled polyester and polar fleece, this tracksuit offers added warmth. Plus, the cinchable hood, waistband, and elastic cuffs at the wrists and ankles help keep cold air or snow from creeping in — prized qualities in winter walking gear.

The light gray-on-darker-gray colorway is perfect for winter weather, although we wish this set came in more color options. It’s also important to keep in mind that this is still a tracksuit, not a ski suit. While it’s warmer than most tracksuits, it's not going to hold up well if you decide to take it on the slopes—that’s where our best ski jackets come in.

This tracksuit is great for staying warm while walking or biking to work in colder temps, or hitting the tennis courts for a quick match with friends.

Sometimes you want a tracksuit that’s better equipped for lounging or sitting in the stands of your kids’ soccer game than a high-performance option. The Reebok Identity Vector Knit Track Jacket and matching Reebok Identity Vector Knit Track Pants make for the perfect, low-key tracksuit to keep you comfy from the street to your couch.

This tracksuit has a classic style that’s suitable for all genders. It’s made from 100 percent recycled polyester, so it’s an eco-friendly purchase that lacks the noisy friction of nylon materials. It also comes in four simple colorways (black, dark gray, light gray, and navy) that are sure to appeal to anyone looking for laidback loungewear.

While this Reebok tracksuit lacks some of the performance features seen in other options on our list, like moisture-wicking material and weather-proof features, the silky-smooth fabric is perfect for rest days. We like that the pants and jacket each feature two pockets to keep keys and credit cards at hand. The jacket also offers a full-zip front and a stand-up collar to help block out a stiff wind. Mix and match different colors and sizes to get a customized tracksuit at an affordable price.

Under Armour’s UA Challenger Tracksuit is designed specifically for soccer and other high-intensity sports. The 100-percent polyester material is lightweight, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying, so you don’t have to worry about your tracksuit clinging to your body and contributing to chaffing during particularly sweaty activities.

The tracksuit also offers a slight stretch to move with you as you run, slide, and change directions. Plus, the close-cut fit, tapered leg, and elastic cuffs ensure it won’t catch or get in your way as you move around.

While this tracksuit is great for sweaty activities in cooler weather, the lightweight material won’t keep you warm on cooler days when you’re not sweating as much. And while the pants offer a nice, 29-inch inseam designed to sit at the ankles, they may run short for taller individuals.

If you’re looking for a tracksuit to help you get through outdoor workouts on windy days, pair Fila’s Kornelia 1/2 Zip Windbreaker with Fila’s Novella Windpant and you’ll be good to go. For one thing, the intention is right there in the name—the windbreaker and windpant is clearly designed to block out wind—and the 100-percent nylon material is what does the trick, making it easier to brave blustering winds without worrying about them chilling you to the bone.

The half-zip design of the pullover jacket, high-stand collar, and oversized hood with an adjustable drawstring also help keep cold winds from sneaking in. And the pant’s elastic cuffs and adjustable waistband help ensure the right fit for workouts during unpredictable spring or fall weather conditions.

While we love the tracksuit’s white and navy colorway, we do wish it came in more colors. And if you don’t like the “swish swish” that nylon material often makes when you move around, you may want to opt for a different set.

If you’re looking for a tracksuit you can wear before and after running to keep you warm, or if you’re looking for something lightweight and flexible to wear on a morning run, pair Korsa’s Valiant Cropped Hoodie with Korsa’s Valiant Jogger 2.0. This fashion-forward set is designed specifically for running, which means it features a polyester/spandex blend that moves with you and allows for maximum range of motion. The fabric is also designed to be sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and antibacterial for maximum odor resistance.

The cropped sweatshirt design is perfect for runners, as the shorter fit won't interfere with movement through your waist, hips, and thighs. It also features a drawstring so you can cinch the fabric closer to your body if desired. The top also features a hood with a high neck and a cinchable drawstring so you can keep cold winds away from your face and ears.

The jogger pants are ideal for runners as the style is loose enough through the waist and hips to allow for full movement but tapered and fitted at the ankle to prevent the material from catching on your shoes. The pants also feature four separate pockets, including a hidden cellphone sleeve.

Keep in mind that this pairing isn’t a traditional tracksuit, but we think it’s the best option for sweatier workouts.

For petite individuals, Nimsruc’s Women’s 2-Piece Casual Sweatsuit is a good choice. It comes in a wide range of sizes and colors with a cut fit for shorter or smaller people of all body shapes.

Made of a polyester/spandex blend, the sweatsuit is designed primarily for casual wear but has enough stretch to move with you during lower-impact exercise, too. It also comes in an impressive 27 colorways offered at an affordable price, making it easy to stock up on different styles.

The tracksuit comes as a set, which could be considered a pro or a con, depending on your personal build. If your upper and lower body tend to require different sizes, make sure you size up to accommodate your frame.

The Men’s UA Accelerate Tracksuit makes for a fantastic all-around tracksuit for athletic activities. It’s perfect for sweatier workouts, thanks to its high-performance fabric that repels water, wicks sweat, provides four-way stretch, and is breathable without sacrificing weather resistance. When you add all of those features to a hooded jacket, you end up with a tracksuit that’s ideal for outdoor workouts.

This tracksuit can keep you warm and protected from head to foot, even in heavy rains. The polyester/elastane blend fabric’s breathability also ensures you won’t end up sweating buckets inside your tracksuit, which is often an issue with other water-repellant tracksuits made with impermeable fabric.

The tracksuit comes as a set, which is convenient, but may not be ideal if your upper and lower body tend to require different sizes. If needed, we recommend sizing up. And keep in mind that the 30.75-inch inseam is ideal for an average-to-tall frame, but may not work if you’re much taller than average.

We love that the set comes in three different colorways and has a classic tracksuit style. The colorways, while still fairly neutral, are a slight variation from the more traditional navy, white, and gray options, with one offering bright orange striping on a gray fabric, and another offering a teal blue on a bright blue fabric.

There’s no denying that tracksuits are trending and can be worn practically anywhere. If you’re looking for a trendy tracksuit that can be worn as both a fashion statement and as a functional athletic outfit, we recommend pairing Voglia’s Wendy Windbreaker with Voglia’s Tropic Like Its Hot Tracker Pants. The set comes in bright, bold colorways with an oversized animal print design, and we like that the cut of the hoodie and pants are more stylish than a traditional tracksuit.

The crop-top fit on the pullover jacket features drawstring cords at the waist and hood that allow you to either cinch up or stay loose. The pants come in a slightly cropped jogger style that is looser at the waist and hips and tapers at the ankles.

What we find most impressive about this tracksuit is that, in addition to being trend-forward, performance features weren’t overlooked. The fabric is water-resistant and lightweight, while the adjustable hood and elastic ankles and wrists help keep the elements out. The pant pockets also fully zip, making it easy to store keys and money without worrying about them falling out when you’re on a jog or walk.

When you want a tracksuit built to last, it’s sometimes best to pay a little more for a designer label. The Adidas by Stella McCartney Printed Woven Track Top can be paired with Adidas by Stella McCartney’s Printed Woven Track Pants for everything you could want in a tracksuit that can be used for years to come. The oversized fit and bright colorways give the classic tracksuit a modern look, and the performance features make it ideal to wear to the gym, out on a run, or even to grab brunch with friends. Plus, you can easily mix and match it with other items from your wardrobe.

In terms of performance features, the jacket boasts a full two-way zipper so you can zip it from the top or the bottom. The pockets on the jacket and pants also fully zip. The collar is high to help block out wind, and the waistbands on the jacket and pants feature elastic with a drawstring for a more customized fit.

Both pieces are made from 100 percent recycled polyester, so it’s an eco-friendly purchase you can feel good about. If you prefer a more fitted tracksuit, we recommend sizing down.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do you choose a tracksuit?

  It’s important to consider how you plan to use your tracksuit before you make a purchase. If you plan to wear it when you warm up before a workout or to cool down afterward, look for performance features like quick-drying material and snaps or zippers at the ankles.

  And if you plan on exercising in your tracksuit, you’ll want to consider its breathability to help with ventilation as you sweat. It’s also important to think about the weather you’ll be wearing your tracksuit in. Choose a warmer option if you’ll be out in the cold, or one with wind- and water-resistant features if you plan to wear it during inclement weather.

  Many people also wear tracksuits as everyday leisure wear. If this is how you plan to put yours to use, consider the cut, style, pattern, and color, along with helpful features like hoods and pockets. And of course, it’s important to consider the price of the tracksuit. Some are quite affordable—clocking in at under $50 for pants and a jacket—while name-brand or designer tracksuits could set you back several hundred dollars. The most important thing is to make sure the features of the tracksuit match its intended use while still falling within your personal budget.

• What are the best tracksuits to buy?

  Selecting the best tracksuit really comes down to personal preference. While most reputable sportswear brands—Under Armour, Adidas, Reebok, and FILA, to name a few—offer high-quality options with performance fabrics, there are also many other brands to consider with a wide range of price points. When choosing a tracksuit, you should think about how you plan to wear and use it, whether it needs to be able to withstand tough workouts or inclement weather, and how much you can afford to spend on it. Our best overall tracksuit pick, Adidas’ Adicolor Classics Plush Track Jacket and Track Pants are stylish, fairly priced, and will last you a long time, making the fit worth your investment.

• How much should you expect to pay for a tracksuit?

  The price of a tracksuit varies widely based on the brand and features. Our experts also emphasize that it’s important to avoid cheaply-made tracksuits if you want a set that lasts. “A good tracksuit will run you between $100-$200, depending on what you buy and where, though they can cost over $500 if you have more expensive tastes,” says Price. According to Shine, tracksuits made with poor-quality materials may not last as long or perform as well during physical activity. The budget-friendliest tracksuit on our list, MACHLAB’s Activewear Full Zip Tracksuit typically costs under $39, whereas our best overall tracksuit set from Adidas, The Adicolor Classics Plush Track Jacket and Track Pants cost a combined $170 when we published this list.
