Outdoor Voices Run Collection Puts a Spring in Your Step

Jun 17, 2023

The dusty blue- and yellow-dominated collection contains pieces suited for all fitness preferences, whether you'd rather run in leggings or shorts, a crop or a singlet. However, in typical OV-fashion the recreation-first brand made some smart tweaks that prioritize lifestyle over performance, and you'll see them throughout the line. All of the bottoms have smart ways to store your smartphone, credit card, or ID; and the split shorts have straps in the back, so as you shed layers you can tuck your longer sleeves into a holster, which frees up your hand on the run (on whatever you're doing after your run).

The Doing Things Bra (pictured above) has a cut-out that I've been using as a loop to hook on a sweat-wicking towel for years. The smartly crafted line will take you far this spring (see: OV's hike collection, which we also co-sign), and there's no doubt that the pieces are good-looking enough to wear in the real world as we re-emerge from the past year as vaccinated butterflies. Not sure where to start shopping? We've pulled our very favorite pieces from the line:

Outdoor Voices classic Doing Things Bra gets a sunshine hue for this running collection, which you can pair with any of the singlets or leggings. It's made from the brand's wicking TechSweat material and gives medium support.

These exercise shorts are made with the brand's Lightspeed fabric, which is the closest thing to "wearable air" currently on the market. There are two loops in the back, so you can hold a long-sleeve layer whenever you want to shed it on a run or a walk.

OV has engineered this waistband to never roll down, and that paired with the 7⁄8 legging length paired is a big win for our runs. As a bonus, this pair has two cellphone pockets to help you carry whatever you need on the go.

The name of the game with this tank is airflow. It's cropped, which makes it easy to pair with a high waisted legging or a run short, and it's made of a meshy lightweight fabric so if you go for a run and then stop for coffee after you won't have those telltale sweat stains.

For jogs to meet your friends in the park, I’m team graphic T-shirt from Outdoor Voices. This Joggers Club tee is somehow one of my favorite pieces in the line, so you’ll see me sporting it all summer long in my runs around the City.
