The Ultimate Guide to Gymwear Sets

A great gymwear set does more than just look good. It simplifies your morning routine, ensures your kit works together, and gives you the confidence to train harder. Whether you're after a high-performance training set, a cosy fleece co-ord, or a versatile summer combination, this guide covers everything you need to know.

What is a Gymwear Set?

A gymwear set (also called a gym co-ord or matching set) is two or more pieces of activewear designed to be worn together. Typically a top and bottom — think hoodie and joggers, sports bra and leggings, or shorts and a tank — sets are designed with matching fabrics, colourways, and proportions so everything works together effortlessly.

Why Buy a Gymwear Set?

  • Effortless styling — No guesswork. Everything matches by design.
  • Better value — Buying as a set often saves money. At BRACE, qualifying sets save you 10% automatically at checkout.
  • Cohesive look — A matching set looks intentional and premium, whether you're in the gym or out on the street.
  • Consistent fit and fabric — Pieces from the same set are made from the same materials, so they feel and move the same way.

What to Look for in a Gymwear Set

1. Fabric

Match your fabric to your training intensity. Read our full Cotton vs Polyester guide →

  • Cotton blends — Soft and breathable. Best for weightlifting, rest days, and lifestyle wear.
  • Performance fabrics — Moisture-wicking and quick-drying. Best for HIIT, cardio, and high-intensity training.
  • Fleece — Warm and cosy. Best for rest days, gym commutes, and colder months.

2. Fit

Consider how each piece fits relative to the other. A cropped top pairs well with high-waisted bottoms. An oversized hoodie works with tapered joggers. Avoid two oversized pieces together — it can look unintentional.

3. Colour

Monochrome sets (all one colour) are the easiest to pull off and look the most premium. Neutral tones — black, grey, navy, stone — are the most versatile and easiest to build around.

4. Versatility

The best sets work in and out of the gym. Look for pieces you'd genuinely wear on a rest day, a coffee run, or a casual night out. For styling inspiration, read How to Style Gymwear Outside the Gym →
