Long Sleeves

Long-sleeved T-shirts – a layer for the in-between months and a base layer under a hoodie. Made from cotton and technical fabrics, in everyday and running styles.

Long-sleeve tops at RunColors

A long-sleeved T-shirt is the perfect solution for those times when a T-shirt is too thin but a sweatshirt is still too warm. It works well on its own in spring and autumn, and as a base layer under a sweatshirt or jacket in winter. Our range includes both cotton styles in everyday cuts and technical running T-shirts.

For everyday wear and under other layers

A cotton long-sleeved top is worn exactly like a T-shirt – on its own or under an unbuttoned shirt or a hoodless jumper. It’s worth paying attention to the sleeve length: a well-cut top ends at the wrist and doesn’t roll up when you put on another layer. The ribbed cuff helps keep the sleeve in place.

Technical versions

Long-sleeved running tops are made from moisture-wicking fabrics, often with flat seams and thumbholes. They’re ideal for temperatures ranging from a few to a dozen or so degrees – above that, a T-shirt is a better choice, whilst below that, it’s worth adding a windbreaker. Don’t use fabric softener on them, as it reduces the fabric’s breathability.

Size and care

Long-sleeved tops are usually chosen in the same size as a T-shirt from the same brand, but if they’re to be worn as a base layer, some people prefer to go one size smaller – this ensures a snug fit and prevents creases under a jumper. We provide the measurements in centimetres for each product. Wash at a low temperature and lay flat to dry.
