Let’s be honest—while the weather might be a little gloomy right now, that doesn’t mean your running outfit has to be! The right gear can make all the difference, not just in performance but in confidence too. Sweaty Betty’s latest collection has everything you need to stay comfortable, stylish, and supported on your runs. Whether you’re training for a marathon, heading out for a casual jog, or squeezing in a gym session, these pieces are designed to move with you. Here are my top picks from the latest Sweaty Betty running gear to keep you feeling and looking your best!

Power Gym Leggings
First up, the Power Gym Leggings. These have been crowned the best leggings by the Women’s Running Awards, and it’s easy to see why. Designed for multi-sport use, they’re perfect for everything from intense gym sessions to long runs. The stretchy fabric, combined with flattering seams, does wonders in sculpting the bum, giving you that confidence boost we all appreciate. Plus, they’re sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and breathable, ensuring you stay comfortable no matter how hard you’re pushing yourself. The side pocket is super handy for stashing your phone or keys, and the back zip pocket adds extra security for smaller essentials. They come in two lengths: regular and 7/8. For those of us who are 5’4″ and under, the 7/8 length is spot on!

Breathe Easy Running Long Sleeve Top
When the weather gets a bit chilly, the Breathe Easy Running Long Sleeve Top is a must-have. It’s a long-sleeved version of their bestselling running tee, made from lightweight, sweat-wicking fabric with a touch of stretch. The body-skimming fit, crew neck and long sleeves offer a sleek look. Breathable mesh panels at the back provide extra ventilation, keeping you cool even when you’re working up a sweat. It also features thumbholes—perfect for keeping your hands warm on those brisk morning runs. Plus, the reflective logo detail is a thoughtful touch for early morning or late evening workouts.

Pro Run Zip Up
For those unpredictable weather days, the Pro Run Zip Up is a lifesaver. This technical zip-up is designed for run lovers, featuring ultra-soft, breathable fabric that’s perfect for layering. The slim fit with contouring seamlines offers a flattering silhouette. One of my favourite features is the handy watch window on both sleeves, allowing you to check your pace without fuss. The long sleeves come with thumbhole mittens, providing extra warmth, and the hood and two front zip pockets add to its practicality. In a medium, it offers enough room to layer without feeling bulky.
Zero Gravity 2.0 6″ Running Shorts
As the days get warmer, the Zero Gravity 2.0 6″ Running Shorts become a staple. These high-performance shorts are versatile enough for any workout. They’re sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and boast bum-sculpting technology, ensuring you look and feel great. The side pocket and zip back pocket are perfect for carrying essentials, and the adjustable drawcordensures a snug fit. Shorts are a personal thing, but I find this length great to avoid the dreaded thigh rub—long enough for coverage, but not so long that they feel restrictive.

After Class Longline Sweatshirt
Post-workout or for those casual days, the After Class Longline Sweatshirt is a cozy choice. Made from a breathable blend of organic cotton and stretchy modal, it offers a relaxed fit in a flattering, bum-covering length. The two side slits make layering easy, and the dropped shoulders, cozy thumbholes, and V-stitch detailing at the neck add to its charm. As a shorter individual, I found it a tad long, but thankfully, they also offer a cropped version that’s more suited to petite frames. If you love an oversized, snuggly feel, stick with the longline—otherwise, the cropped version is a great alternative!

Crew Running Socks 2 Pack
No running outfit is complete without the right socks. The Crew Running Socks come in a handy two-pack and are currently on a 3-for-2 offer. Made from 71% recycled polyamide, they feature breathable mesh panels and padding at the sole and heel, ensuring maximum comfort during your runs. The crew length offers added support, and they fit snugly without slipping.
Sweaty Betty Running Gear: Fit and Sizing Guide
When it comes to fit, Sweaty Betty nails it with this collection. I’m a UK10 on the bottom and a 10/12 on the top, and I went with a medium for everything. I’d say the sizing is true to size, offering a comfortable, flattering fit that allows for movement without being too tight. Whether you’re running, stretching, or lounging, these pieces have the perfect balance of support and comfort.
Styling Tips: How to mix and match Sweaty Betty running gear
Not only do the teals, blues, and greens work beautifully together, but this range also makes layering a breeze. Pair the Breathe Easy Running Long Sleeve with the Pro Run Zip-Up for those cooler morning runs, or throw on the After Class Longline Sweatshirt for a post-workout relaxed look. Each piece offers versatility that works both in the gym and out and about. You can easily swap out a long-sleeve for a short-sleeve tee if you’re looking for something lighter in the warmer months. Add a pop of baby pink and you’ve got an effortlessly stylish yet functional look.
My personal experience with Sweaty Betty running gear
As much as I love looking good while I run, functionality is just as important. The side pockets on the leggings and shorts are spacious enough to hold essentials like gels and your phone, while the zip pocket at the back provides a secure spotfor your key. Having functional pockets is a game changer, especially during long runs and workouts. Plus, the bum-sculpting tech in the leggings and shorts gives you that extra confidence and support, no matter how intense the workout. For us shorter girls, the 7/8 leggings are perfect—no one likes a saggy ankle! These thoughtful details really make all the difference.
Sweaty Betty’s new collection truly offers something for every female runner, combining functionality with style. Whether you’re heading out for a casual jog or unwinding with a well-earned stretch at yoga, Sweaty Betty running gear is designed to keep you comfortable, supported, and looking great every step of the way.
