The Lowdown on Layering For Outdoor Exercise

When it comes to outdoor exercise in the fall, I really don’t know how people do it without layers. I’ll be absolutely freezing one second and hot & sweating the next. Not to mention the weather… You leave your apartment when it’s cloudy and 15 minutes later, the sun is beating down. It’s a total crapshoot. Thus, layers.

You can’t really layer your pants (that seems awkward), but you can definitely build your look on the top. Cute sports bra… Versatile tee… And then a long-sleeve shirt or hoodie to top it off. You’ll be prepared for almost anything! I’ve been wearing this hoodie non-stop since it came in the mail. Mainly around my apartment since it hasn’t been that chilly outside (yet!), but still. It’s definitely getting some use indoors and I know I’ll be wearing it to-and-from the gym throughout the entire season ahead.

I’m definitely not one to only wear a sports bra for a workout, but with the high-rise performer tights, I actually don’t mind at all. And when the sports bra is this cute, it makes it even easier to show it off! The high-rise tights come all the way up to your hipbones, and since I have a shorter torso, they hit just at the top of my belly button. (On the website you can see how they are just below the model’s belly button!)

      Thanks for letting me know! adidas.com got a facelift overnight and I think that’s what was causing the hiccup. They should all be working now!
