Sustainability leading the way in cycling clothing trends 2024

Sustainability is an option that cannot be overlooked this year. Nowadays, you have a wide range of recycled fabrics to choose from. Additionally, sustainable ink options are available for creating your jerseys. Opt for OEKO-TEX certified clothing. This ensures sustainability for your skin, the environment, and the people who produce your kit.

Aero designs

Aerodynamics have always been a key focus when designing cycling kits. The clothing fits snugly around the body and remains aerodynamic when in the cycling position. Nowadays, fabric suppliers have also begun to cater to this need. For example, the new tour jerseys feature fabrics that better guide the wind over your body. Isn’t that just perfect? Check out the new Elite 1200 edition with an aero sleeve to see what such a fabric looks like.

Low collars

Another trend that is increasingly seen in clothing is the low collar. Not everyone is convinced yet. This is partly because it reduces space for sponsors. Often, you can indicate your preferred option when having custom clothing made. Consider what works best for you.

Different shapes of pants

This is a trend that may not be immediately noticeable, but you often see the sides of the pants becoming slightly wider in terms of printable fabric. Professional riders do this mainly to provide more space for sponsors on the legs. While this is often not very important in amateur cycling, it’s still an option if you really want to ride like a pro.

The latest chamois

In 2024, even more emphasis is placed on the elasticity of the chamois. This is primarily for maximum wearing comfort. The better the top layer of the chamois molds to your body, the more comfortable it feels. You’ll also see that the latest chamois have a good permeable layer on top. This not only ensures comfort but also allows sweat to pass through well. This prevents salt buildup on your chamois, which is quite pleasant 😉!

Custom clothing

Custom cycling clothing seems to finally be becoming a trend! And we’re not saying this just because we happen to produce it ourselves. You see more often that people want to have a unique piece of clothing made. Something that matches the bike, for example, or to get your clothing sponsored with logos from your own company or employer. Who doesn’t want to be unique nowadays?

Basics and aesthetics

You also see a lot of jerseys nowadays with a dominant base color. This color is often dark or pastel because it looks chic and is easy to combine with your favorite pieces of clothing. Bold patterns are somewhat in the background (especially in big cities because you want to look as fashionable on the bike as in your ‘regular’ clothing). Here’s to a year of beautiful basics. Because as cyclists, we want to hit the road in style, just like the real pros!

Pockets

This is a fairly new trend that isn’t seen much yet but is gaining more prominence. It’s the extra zippers and stylish pockets on the jerseys. This is a trend that actually comes from sports leggings, but you also see cycling shorts with side and hip pockets. Handy for not losing your stuff but not suitable for all your belongings due to the continuous rotation of your legs. What do you think? Can you see yourself cycling with these new shorts? The back zipper is always a must-have if you don’t want to lose your phone and keys!
