What to know about Tracksmith
Built for the competitive amateur
The line targets serious club and road racers rather than casual gym-goers, with race-day pieces like Van Cortlandt singlets and shorts and Session shorts at its core.
New England prep meets technical kit
Collegiate references from founder Matt Taylor's Yale middle-distance background sit on top of performance fabrics, including merino base layers and Bislett outerwear.
Trackhouses, not just a webshop
Tracksmith runs retail Trackhouses in Boston, New York and London, has collaborated with J.Crew, and moved into footwear with the Eliot Runner.
How Tracksmith fits
Overall fit
slightly small
Tracksmith tends to fit slim and athletic in a way that flatters lean runner builds, with many finding it slightly small or trim through the chest and waist.
Tip: Consider sizing up if you're between sizes or want a less race-fit feel, especially for layering.
