Custom Tracksuits and Matching Sets: Styles, Fabrics and Decoration
Hoodie sets, crewneck sets, short sets and windbreaker tracksuits: how to choose fabrics, fits and decoration for a matching set that sells.
Matching sets are one of the strongest products a clothing brand can sell. They look deliberate in photos, raise your average order value and give customers a complete outfit. Here is how to plan custom tracksuits and sets.
Types of matching sets
Hoodie sets
custom hoodie sets pair a hoodie with matching joggers in fleece or French terry, the classic tracksuit.
Crewneck sweat sets
custom crewneck sweat sets pair a crewneck with joggers or shorts for a cleaner, collegiate or loungewear look.
Short sets
custom short sets combine a tee or sweatshirt with matching shorts, perfect for summer drops.
Windbreaker tracksuits
custom windbreaker sets use a nylon or polyester shell with mesh lining, in solid colours or bold colour-block panels.
Fabrics
| Set | Fabric | Season |
|---|---|---|
| Hoodie set | Fleece or French terry | All year, warmest in fleece |
| Crewneck set | Fleece or French terry | All year |
| Short set | Jersey, French terry or mesh | Spring and summer |
| Windbreaker set | Nylon or polyester shell | Spring and autumn |
Colour matching
The biggest risk with sets is mismatched colours. We cut both pieces from the same fabric batch so the top and bottom match. If you buy separates, such as custom hoodies with custom trousers, order them together for the same reason.
Decoration ideas
- Embroidered chest logo on the top, small leg print on the bottoms.
- Puff-printed logo for a raised streetwear finish.
- Contrast piping or colour-block panels on windbreakers.
- Matching woven labels on both pieces.
Sizing
Customers often wear different sizes on top and bottom, so you can mix sizes between the two pieces. The minimum is 20 sets per style.
Complete the look
Add custom caps or custom socks in the same colourway, and pack each set in branded mailer boxes or sleeved mailer boxes for a premium unboxing.

Tracksuit styles that sell
- Relaxed fleece tracksuits: hoodie and straight or wide-leg joggers for loungewear brands.
- Tapered sports tracksuits: zip-up tops and cuffed joggers for clubs and gyms.
- Retro windbreakers: colour-block shells for terrace-inspired streetwear.
- Summer co-ords: tees or sweatshirts with matching shorts, plus denim jorts for a mixed-fabric look.
Pricing and margins
Sets usually sell for more than the two pieces separately would, because customers value the complete look. Offer the set as a bundle on your shop, and sell each piece separately too for customers who only want one part.
Photographing matching sets
Show the set worn together, then each piece separately and a flat lay. Include close-ups of the fabric and decoration. Clear photography is especially important for sets, because customers want to see that the colours really match.
Teams and clubs
Tracksuits are popular for sports teams and clubs. Add names, numbers and club badges, and pack each person’s set separately. Read our guide to custom team and staff uniforms for sizing tips.
