Women's running outfit for beginner jogs: Everlast Running Crew Set

As I started light jogging, I became interested in what I wore to exercise, too. I wore the Everlast Women's Running Crew Jacket + Bootcut Pants Set while running for several days, looking at the fit, ease of movement, and how useful it was in everyday life.

What clothes did I need when I started jogging?

At first, I ran in a cotton T-shirt and loose pants. Once I started sweating, the fabric stuck to my skin and made moving uncomfortable. The morning and evening air was chilly too, so I needed an outer layer, and before joining a running crew meet-up, I looked for a matching jacket-and-pants set.

How do the jacket and bootcut pants fit?

The top is jacket-shaped, with a slightly defined waistline, so I liked the silhouette when I put it on. Its high neck reaches above the neck and also helped block the cold breeze.

The bottoms are bootcut, flaring from the calves to the hems. For me, they made my legs look longer. Wearing the set together meant less time thinking about what to pair it with.

Does it feel restrictive while running or stretching?

The part I was happiest with was the stretch. The fabric felt pleasantly springy to the touch, and even while doing warm-up stretches or taking longer strides, it felt less like the fabric was constricting my body.

The jacket sleeves and shoulders stretched flexibly, making it easy to swing my arms back and forth. The pants also offered almost no resistance when I bent and straightened my knees, and they felt softly close to the body.

Is it okay to wear beyond workouts?

The jacket has a simple design, so it went naturally with denim or slacks. The pants paired well with oversized sweatshirts or knitwear.

I reached for it not only at the gym and nearby park, but also when going to a café or heading out around home. For me, being able to use it as both workout wear and everyday clothing was a plus.

How was it after several days of wear and washing?

After wearing it and running in it for several days, it felt relatively quick to become comfortable again even after I had sweated. After a machine wash, I noticed almost no change in its shape. Over this short testing period, I was happy with the comfort while moving and the fit of the jacket and pants.
