With the weather getting hotter (slowly!), PAUSE now feels that we should embrace the slightly warmer weather and take exercise outside. Here are a few tips and stylish sports gear picks to stay ‘cool’ whilst exercising.
Oversized tees
Lightweight and casual, basic oversized tees are definitely trending at the minute. Many brands and stores are offering an extended t-shirt length now. Wearing a loose, plain oversized tee makes for a nice simple workout look and doesn’t hinder any movement whilst running.

Bandanas
