Best Men's Athleisure Brands UK 2026
The Tracksuit Quality Tiers
Not all tracksuits are created equal. The £30 polyester set from a high-street chain and the £338 BOSS Green Commuter set may both be called tracksuits, but the difference in fabric, construction and longevity is vast. Understanding the tiers saves you from buying cheap twice.
Entry Level (£50–£80)
Standard polyester. Functional for the gym. Pilling within 10 washes. Limited colourway selection. No design detail. Brands like Trailberg sit here — honest value for their price tier.
Mid-Range (£120–£180)
Technical fabrics. Tapered cuts. Branded hardware. Weather-resistant shells on jacket pieces. Reprimo and Red Run operate here — serious quality without the premium markup.
Premium (£250–£400)
Swiss or Scandinavian engineering. Bonded seams. Performance membranes. On Running and BOSS Green deliver at this tier — gym-to-boardroom versatility with genuine technical performance.
Luxury (£400+)
Lifestyle statement. Premium down, magnetic closures, minimal branding. Sandbanks occupies this space — tracksuits as considered investment pieces rather than sportswear.
Reprimo
Reprimo is a British brand that has quietly built one of the most compelling tracksuit ranges in the UK. Their Flight and Vortex windbreaker sets (£145–£165) use nylon shells with mesh linings, tapered joggers and colour-blocked designs that photograph well without shouting. The Clima Shell (£150) adds weather resistance for outdoor use.
What makes Reprimo special is the fabric engineering at its price point. The Motion hoodie and jogger sets (£130–£131) use a brushed-back cotton-blend that feels premium to the touch. The Axis half-zip sets (£130) add sport-inspired details — zip pockets, ribbed cuffs, contrast stitching. Every colourway is considered: marble grey, indigo twilight, faded dune, marine, slate. These are tracksuits designed by people who understand that colour matters as much as construction.
Reprimo Strength
Best fabric quality at its price point. Considered colourways that set it apart from generic sportswear. British brand with a growing reputation for punching above its weight.
On Running
On Running’s men’s sets are built for people who run, hike and commute — and refuse to change clothes between activities. The Core Jacket and Pant set (£285) is a clean, black tracksuit with stretch fabric, internal pockets and a construction quality that justifies the price after the first wash. The Trek Waterproof set (£390–£400) adds GORE-TEX-level waterproofing for genuine all-weather use.
On’s aesthetic is Swiss minimalism. No visible logos on the body, no contrast panels, no branding stripe. The silhouette does the talking: tapered, articulated, engineered for movement. If you want a tracksuit that reads “considered” rather than “sporty,” On Running is the answer.
The Weather Jacket and Pant set (£360) bridges the gap — lighter than Trek, warmer than Core, suitable for autumn running and weekend hiking. The All-Day Puffer (£430) adds insulation for deeper winter while maintaining the same minimal design language.
Sandbanks
Sandbanks approaches athleisure from the luxury end. Their tracksuit sets are not gym wear — they are lifestyle pieces constructed from premium jerseys, structured nylons and heavyweight cotton blends. The Haven and Branksome puffer collections (£875) establish the brand’s positioning: this is outerwear for men who want warmth without sacrificing style.
The tracksuit and loungewear range sits below the puffers in price but carries the same design philosophy: clean lines, muted palettes (black, charcoal, navy, port, brown), premium fabrics and zero visible branding beyond the Sandbanks label. These are the tracksuits you wear to the airport first-class lounge, the private members’ club or the weekend drive to the coast.
BOSS Green
BOSS Green is the athleisure arm of Hugo Boss, and the Commuter tracksuit set (£338) is its flagship. Nylon shell jacket with stretch joggers, branded zip pulls and the BOSS logo in a modern, sport-inspired placement. The Saggy hoodie and Hadiko jogger set (£318) is the classic BOSS tracksuit — the one that put designer tracksuits on the map in the UK.
BOSS Green tracksuits carry social currency. The logo is recognised, the cut is consistent, the colourways are safe. For men who want a tracksuit that signals “designer” without ambiguity, BOSS Green is the default choice. The Sicon Active sets (£328) add performance fabric for genuine workout use.
BOSS Green Tracksuit Range
- Commuter Set: £338 — nylon shell, tapered jogger, flagship
- Saggy/Hadiko Set: £318 — hoodie and jogger, classic
- Sicon Active Set: £328 — performance fabric, sport
- Paule TOC Polo Set: £268 — polo and shorts, summer
Red Run Activewear
Red Run is not just a women’s brand. Their men’s technical track jacket and trouser sets (£175) use the same fabric technology — moisture-wicking panels, adjustable waistbands, reflective detailing for visibility. The Midnight Moss Khaki set pairs a colourblocked jacket with navy trousers for a look that works on the trail and in the town.
Red Run’s men’s range is smaller than their women’s offering, but the quality-to-price ratio is among the best we stock. If you train outdoors and want a tracksuit that handles sweat, rain and wind without looking like gym kit, Red Run delivers.
Styling From Gym to Pub
The Morning Train
On Running Core set in black with Cloud 5 trainers. Clean enough for the commute. Performance enough for a lunchtime run. Swap the jacket for a blazer if the meeting goes formal.
The Weekend Pub Run
Reprimo Flight set in indigo twilight. The windbreaker works as outerwear. The joggers taper cleanly above trainers. Throw on a wool overcoat if the weather turns and you look deliberate, not desperate.
The Sunday Drive
BOSS Green Commuter set with Sandbanks puffer over the top. The BOSS logo handles the signalling. The Sandbanks puffer handles the temperature. Sunglasses optional but encouraged.
The Actual Gym
Red Run technical set. The adjustable waistband handles the full range of motion. The moisture-wicking fabric handles the sweat. The price handles the budget. No need to risk your BOSS set on the bench press.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best men’s athleisure brand in the UK?
It depends on your priorities. Reprimo offers the best quality-to-price ratio. On Running delivers Swiss engineering and minimal aesthetics. BOSS Green carries social recognition and consistent quality. Sandbanks is the luxury choice. Red Run provides genuine technical performance at a fair price.
Can you wear a tracksuit to a restaurant?
With the right tracksuit, yes. An On Running Core set or BOSS Green Commuter set in black reads smart-casual at most restaurants. Add clean trainers and a quality watch. Avoid bright colourways and visible gym branding for dining out. The key is fit — tapered joggers and a structured jacket read differently from baggy sweats.
Is Reprimo a good brand?
Yes. Reprimo delivers fabric quality and design at a price point that undercuts BOSS Green and On Running significantly. Their Flight and Vortex windbreaker sets are consistently praised for construction, colour and fit. They are a growing British brand with an increasingly loyal following.
How do I wash a designer tracksuit?
Turn inside out. Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry — hang dry naturally. Avoid fabric softener, which clogs performance fabrics. For nylon-shell jackets, close all zips before washing. These steps preserve the fabric, colour and fit for years.
Do you stock men’s tracksuits in-store?
Yes. We carry Reprimo, On Running, BOSS Green, Sandbanks and Red Run at OD’s Designer Clothing, 44 Barrow Street, St Helens. You can try different brands and fits side by side. Open Monday to Saturday, 9am–5pm. Call 01744 730985 for stock queries.
