Vest and shorts are obvious essential pieces of running kit. For men, vests (as they are known in the UK) or singlets (same thing) there's little variation between brands. They will be similar although the wider shoulder panel of the sleeveless tee is increasing in popularity. The fabrics are also similar with what will typically be the manufacturers lightest, most breathable and best wicking material.
Men's shorts are either lycra which is close fitting or loose with various lengths of drop on their inseam. The shortest shorts will have a drop of approximately 3 inches. This would be referred to as a racing cut. More popular are 5 inch and 7 inch shorts and there's also some demand for 9 inch shorts which drop down to the knee and have a more relaxed look. All these loose shorts usually have a built in inner brief so you do not need to wear anything else underneath, an elasticated waist with a drawcord and a zipped pocket. Check the associated text for this if any of the features are particularly important to you.
Generally, the skinnier your legs the shorter the short you can get away with is. Waist sizes are typically Small = 30 inch waist, Medium = 32 inches, Large = 34 and Extra large = 36+.
