Goodmove, Going Forward: M&S Refines the Modern Active Uniform for Spring ’26

Technical upgrades, sharper cuts and understated design define a menswear collection built for movement—on the gym floor and beyond.

Marks & Spencer’s Goodmove line has quietly become one of the most interesting stories in British sportswear. Launched in 2020 and now the fastest-growing sub-brand in the M&S stable, it’s less about chasing hype and more about building a credible, functional wardrobe for modern, active lives. Spring ’26 sees Goodmove sharpen its menswear offer, leaning into technical upgrades and everyday versatility rather than gym-floor theatrics.

The focus this season is movement that looks considered. Ergonomic cuts are refined to give more freedom without tipping into performance cosplay, while reinforced stitching and upgraded fabric blends signal durability you can actually feel. This is kit designed for people who train, commute, travel and repeat—sometimes all in the same day.

The Motion Stretch Training Shorts set the tone. Lightweight, pared back, and finished with bonded seams, they prioritise mobility without excess detail. They’re joined by the updated Core Performance Tee, now engineered with improved breathability and odour-control tech. The colour palette moves confidently between bold brights and grounded neutrals, making it as viable under a jacket as it is during a workout.

Outerwear comes via the Reflective Woven Jacket with Stormwear™—a streamlined shell that handles wind and light showers while keeping the silhouette clean. It’s functional without feeling overtly technical, the kind of layer that earns its place beyond training hours. Then there are the Everyday Comfort Performance Joggers: soft, tapered, and quietly capable, designed to sit comfortably between activewear and off-duty uniform.

Throughout the collection, subtle graphics, tonal patterns and modern colour blocking replace loud branding. Concealed zip pockets, mesh panels and adjustable hems do the hard work without shouting about it. The result is a menswear range that understands restraint: performance-led, intelligently engineered, and styled for real life. Goodmove Spring ’26 doesn’t try to reinvent sportswear—it simply makes a strong case for wearing it better.
