Sweatshirt and sweatpants

Sweatshirt sweatpants sets typically appear in matching design; the sweatshirt in the set uses colors and fabrics that complement or mirror the set’s pants. In addition to allowing the wearer to exercise with extra style, matching sweatshirts and sweatpants present a solid entry choice for people who don't yet have suitable exercise clothing but want to start going to the gym or jog outside. Any of the different types would also be comfortable for wearing around the house, and one could even use them as sleepwear.

Tracksuit sweatshirts & sweatpants

Tracksuits are sets that provide light warmth without the heightened sweat output on which heavier products focus; the main benefit of green tracksuits is that they preserve the wearer’s range of motion during aerobic exercises. Traditionally (though this is not always the case), tracksuits have a zipper, are hoodless and have stripes on the side of the arms and/or legs of the outfit.

Hoodie and sweatpants sets

Hoodies and sweatpants, available with or without a front zipper, often utilize thicker material to emphasize the original sweat-release purpose of the garments. Some pairs of hooded men's hoodie and sweatpants set may have jogger pants (with tapering ankles that keep the ends of the garment in place while moving) instead of sweatpants, though both options work reasonably well for certain types of exercise.

Cropped sweatshirt and sweatpants sets

Some women’s sweatpants and sweatshirts have a top piece that ends somewhere before it reaches the waistband of the pants (“cropped” in length), exposing part of the wearer’s midriff. This reduction in fabric is primarily for aesthetic intents but works for exercising as well. The variety of cropped styles is similar to other sets; they may or may not have a hood, tapered ankles or graphic artworks and/or logos.
