What to wear....

I have a variety of running outfits. I was just wondering what other like to wear and why. I think gone are the days of dull running shorts

and vests. I think people like to look smart when they exercise now. They like to stand out! I hear you can even get special pants to run in, other clothes are also advised. Especially this time

of year πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I’d love to hear you lots opinions. 😎

Well, depends on where you're running. Locally I only ever use NBA gear, shared between Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia teams. Very colourful. All you need to decide is which area those certain outfits are appropriate for and go for it. I share them between south and central London. However, when l run abroad l would only wear tops and short that reveal the support for my London football club. Hope all this helps ;)

I buy mine from EBay mostly and it’s all dark Nike, Adidas, sweaty Betty and lululemon. However every time I get to a landmark run ( I run every day) I dress up in gold πŸ˜€

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ looks like you wear the best stuff! Blinging it up in gold 😎 I’d be a bit worried wearing too much dark clothing as I run when the light isn’t great. Have a fluorescent jacket. It’s a bit of a pain sometimes as it’s like running with a parachute on!

We have failed to educate Mr E out of his dull running shorts & vests! πŸ˜‚

Various members of the family have provided new gear for Christmas / birthday & it mostly sits in a drawer... πŸ™„
