This Autumn/Winter season, let’s dive into some of the trending men’s activewear pieces that sports brands simply cannot miss. We will focus on sportswear items that are suitable for winter sports and activities. Read our blog to find out what is on the list, so your brand can better prepare for your next activewear collection in A/W 24/25. 

1. Puffer Jacket 

First off, the puffer jacket. Ever since the era of The North Face puffer jacket, this type of outerwear has remained popular. It is waterproof, warm, and has the perfect length for staying active. Other well-known sports brands, such as Adidas, Nike, or New Balance have also joined the game and further elevated the heat of this jacket. You can also explore different forms of this jacket by trying out the cropped puffer jacket style, adding some spice to your men’s activewear collection for the upcoming season. 

2. Fleece Jacket 

A men’s fleece jacket is another active/outerwear item that is bringing warmth to the cozy bleak of the autumn/winter season. Fleece is a cozy, synthetic fabric made mostly from a type of polyester known as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or similar materials. It feels super comfy because it's lightweight and helps keep you dry by whisking away sweat while also keeping outside humidity at bay. Think about those brisk mornings when you're out for a jog. With the fleece zip-up jacket, you stay warm without feeling weighed down. It's light but keeps you cozy, so you can focus on your run without feeling bulky. But it's not just for running. Whether you're hiking, biking, or hitting the gym, this jacket has your back. It's breathable, meaning it lets air flow through to keep you cool, and it wicks away sweat to keep you dry.

3. Utility Trousers

These trousers are characterized by their rugged design, featuring multiple pockets, reinforced seams, and durable materials, making them an ideal choice for autumn and winter activewear. Utility trousers like these are designed with functionality in mind. The materials used are typically heavier, which provide better insulation against the cold. This makes them perfect for outdoor activities in cooler seasons, such as hiking, camping, or even casual urban exploration where versatility and durability are key. The various colors, ranging from traditional earth tones to more subdued blues and grays, also make these trousers both practical and fashionable for the autumn and winter palette.

4. Jogger Sets 

Men's jogger sets like these are extremely versatile and suitable for autumn and winter for several reasons. First, the material is usually a thicker, soft fabric such as fleece or heavy cotton, which provides warmth and comfort in chilly weather. This makes them ideal for both indoor lounging and outdoor activities, allowing for ease of movement while keeping warm. Additionally, the relaxed fit of joggers offers a comfortable option for various activities, from running errands to more vigorous exercise, without restricting movement. The elastic cuffs at the ankles prevent cold air from entering, which is practical for maintaining warmth during outdoor activities in cooler weather. The hoodie, often featuring a drawstring closure and a kangaroo pocket, further adds to the functionality and style of the set. It not only helps in keeping the head and ears warm but also complements the overall aesthetic, making it a stylish choice that can transition from home to streetwear effortlessly.

5. Crafted Jerseys 

For fashion brands looking to enhance their collections and appeal to a broader market, incorporating crafted jerseys like the one showcased in the photo can be a strategic move. These jerseys offer a unique blend of style, comfort, and functionality, making them an attractive option for consumers who value both aesthetic appeal and practicality. The growing trend of athleisure in the fashion industry underscores the demand for garments that combine athletic functionality with streetwear style. Basketball jerseys, with their breathable and quick-drying materials, cater perfectly to this demand. They provide the practical benefits needed for athletic wear, such as moisture management and durability, while also delivering on the style front with vibrant patterns and bold branding. Moreover, jerseys are versatile pieces that can be styled in numerous ways, making them a staple in any wardrobe. They can be paired with casual jeans for a laid-back look, layered under jackets for a more structured outfit, or worn with other athleisure pieces for a cohesive sporty ensemble. This versatility makes them an excellent addition to any fashion brand looking to capitalize on current trends and offer products that resonate with a lifestyle-centric consumer base.

6. Letterman Jacket

Last but not least, we have the letterman jacket, or also known under another name: varsity jacket. Stylistically, the letterman jacket carries a nostalgic and preppy vibe that can elevate a casual activewear look, making it more refined and eye-catching. It’s versatile enough to be paired with jeans and sneakers for a casual outing, or with athletic wear for a sportier look. Moreover, the snug, ribbed cuffs and waistband are designed to keep cold air out and trap warmth inside, further boosting its effectiveness as cold-weather gear. This feature also ensures that the jacket stays in place during activities, which is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor sports or casual activities during the cooler months.
