Pick your player, fuel your creativity and get moving in 2023 with technical garments from On Running, science-backed trainers from Hoka and pieces that’ll take you from the gym to everyday life c/o Y-3.

Technical pieces that don’t compromise on style? We’ve got you covered. High-performance fabrics, science-backed sneakers and carefully designed fits: in 2023, it’s time to get serious with your craft. Your go-to brand? On Running.

Running in the chill? Layer up tees and shorts over running tights and long-sleeve tops. Made in a brushed recycled polyester blend, the brand’s Long Running Tights are designed to keep you warmer for longer. On your feet, throw on the Cloudmonster Running Shoes, which pack in super-foam soles and cloud cushions. The result? Shoes that turn impact into energy, giving an explosive feel to each stride, meaning quicker times and better results. Smart.

Just as important as the garments you wear, is the active kit you invest in. Our advice? Go for multi-functioning items, like Mobot’s Big Bertha – a sustainable water bottle that doubles as a foam roller, meaning you can treat muscles on the move. Bala’s Power Ring can be used for everything from aiding sit ups to arm exercises, while a yoga mat is an at-home gym staple come stretches, warm-ups and hardcore workouts.

Pieces that work even when you’re not going to the gym? In 2023, activewear is as at home in our everyday wardrobes as it on the treadmill. Whether you’re throwing on post-workout or layering up with wool coats and blazers come the working week, invest in pieces that’ll carry you from the gym to the weekend to dinner in one move.

After the workout comes the winddown. And these days, it’s just as important. Go the failsafe route with hot baths and This Works’ Deep Sleep Bath Soak that promises to soak your muscles and unwind your mind. Hot on its heels is Puresports’ CBD Oil, which supports everything from your mood to your recovery to your performance and focus. And when it comes to getting physical, Theragun’s Elite Massager reaches 60% deeper into muscles than average massagers to reduce deep muscle tension. Bliss.

One of the most important decisions to make when it comes to your activewear kit? Your running trainers. Top of our list? Hoka, the French trainer brand with a mission to get people moving. Case in point, their Bondi 8 Trainers, which combine breathable mesh with underfoot cushioning. Or the Clifton 8 Sneakers, with a streamlined silhouette, soft cushioning and meta-rocker, designed to propel your foot forward.

On Running is also making moves, with their Cloud X 3, designed especially for road running thanks to a sole cushion and reflective details to help improve visibility. Or the versatile Cloudswift. Crafted in light fabric with superfoam, supportive side panels and an internal sock for easy step in access.
