Reprimo Brand Story
If you've seen Reprimo tracksuits in store at OD's and wondered what the brand is, you're not alone. Reprimo is a relatively new British brand making a specific kind of garment: premium tracksuits and casualwear designed for smart casual dressing. Not gym wear. Not streetwear. Elevated loungewear and casualwear for people who want to look put-together without putting on a suit.
OD's Designer Clothing was among the first independent retailers in the north west to stock Reprimo, and we've watched it build a loyal following quickly. This guide covers everything you need to know about the brand, the quality, the sizing, and how to wear it.

Reprimo fills a specific gap in the market. The brand recognised that men — particularly those in their 30s to 50s — wanted elevated casualwear that felt premium without reaching for a brand like Ralph Lauren or Tommy Hilfiger. Something that works for a relaxed weekend without looking like you raided a sports shop.
The tracksuit is the signature piece, but the brand has expanded into a broader casual range. The aesthetic is consistent: clean, minimal branding, quality fabrication, and fits designed for adult men rather than teenagers.
Who Wears Reprimo?
Men from their late 20s through to their 50s who want comfortable premium casualwear for weekends, travel, evenings in, or smart casual settings. Also a strong gift choice — well-received by men who wouldn't usually choose their own premium casualwear.
2 | Reprimo Fabrics and Construction
The quality story at Reprimo starts with the fabric weight. The tracksuit pieces use heavier cotton-blend fleece than budget alternatives — which means the garment has substance to it when you pick it up and holds its shape through washing rather than pilling and thinning after a few wears.
Tracksuit Fleece
Heavyweight cotton-blend fleece. Noticeably more substantial than high-street alternatives. Brushed interior for warmth and softness. Holds structure through repeated washing.
Sweatshirt Fabric
Mid-weight French terry or cotton-blend construction. Clean exterior, soft interior. Structured enough to wear without looking shapeless, comfortable enough for all-day wear.
Hardware
Metal zip pulls, reinforced drawcord grommets, and ribbed cuffs and hems that stay in place rather than stretching out. These are the details that separate £85 from £25.
Stitching
Double-stitched seams on stress points. The waistband construction in the joggers is particularly solid — it doesn't roll or lose its position. Branding is typically embroidered rather than printed for longevity.
The Fabric Test
- Pick it up — does it feel substantial? Reprimo passes
- Check the cuffs — do they bounce back? Reprimo's do
- Feel the interior — is it soft without being flimsy? Yes
- Look at the zip — is it metal or plastic? Metal on Reprimo
3 | How Reprimo Fits
Reprimo cuts for a relaxed but structured fit — not the oversized drop-shoulder silhouette of streetwear, and not the narrow athletic cut of technical gym wear. The fit is designed to look intentional on an adult frame.
The joggers sit at the natural waist with a clean taper through the leg — enough room to be comfortable, not so much that they look baggy. They're not slim-fit, but they're not baggy either. The hem typically sits just above the ankle or can be folded up for a cleaner finish with trainers.
Sizing Recommendation
Reprimo sizes are generally true to size for a relaxed fit. If you're between sizes and prefer a slightly more fitted look, size down. If you like room to layer underneath or prefer a looser casual feel, stay true to size or size up. Visit OD's to try on before buying if you're unsure — sizing varies slightly between garment types.
The hoodie or zip top that accompanies the tracksuit is cut with a slightly longer body than high-street versions, which means it sits well over the joggers rather than riding up. This is a deliberate design choice for the smart casual positioning — shorter crops look fine in gym wear, not as clean in casualwear.
4 | How to Style Reprimo — Smart Casual, Not Gym
The most common styling mistake with Reprimo is treating it like gym wear. These pieces are built for a different context. Here's how to wear them correctly for their intended use case.
The Complete Tracksuit
Worn as a set, the Reprimo tracksuit works for: relaxed weekends, travel days, evenings at home, casual catch-ups with friends, picking the kids up from school, or anywhere that the dress code is genuinely relaxed without being scruffy. Pair with clean white or grey trainers — On Running, Saucony, or similar — not performance running shoes or beaten-up casual shoes.
Separates
The joggers work harder when separated from the hoodie. Pair the joggers with a plain tee, a polo shirt, or a lightweight knit and the result reads as smart casual rather than full tracksuit. Add leather trainers or a clean minimal trainer and you're well dressed for most casual settings.
The hoodie or zip top works over a plain tee or under a lightweight overshirt. A Reprimo hoodie under an unstructured blazer or technical overshirt is a completely valid smart casual combination.
Styling Rules for Reprimo
- Clean trainers only — performance running shoes kill the smart casual read
- Avoid gym accessories (water bottles, training bags) when wearing it casually
- Fit is everything — don't go too big or the smart casual positioning is lost
- Separates work harder than the full set for most situations
- Neutral colours (black, grey, navy) are the most versatile — easier to style

5 | Frequently Asked Questions
Is Reprimo a gym brand?
No. Reprimo makes premium casualwear and tracksuits designed for smart casual dressing — not gym use or technical sport. The fabrics, fits, and cuts are optimised for all-day comfort and a clean aesthetic, not for athletic performance. Think of it as elevated loungewear rather than activewear.
What size should I buy in Reprimo?
Reprimo generally fits true to size for a relaxed fit. If you prefer a slightly more fitted silhouette, consider sizing down one. The best approach is to try on in store at OD's before purchasing, as fit varies slightly between different garment types within the range.
How does Reprimo compare to other tracksuit brands like P.E Nation or BOSS?
Reprimo sits at a lower price point than BOSS or P.E Nation but delivers comparable fabric weight and construction for its core tracksuit pieces. The brand's positioning is closer to premium casualwear than those brands' sport-luxe direction. The aesthetic is more understated — less visible branding, cleaner silhouettes.
