Casual Clothing
Jean jacket: Aritzia
I love a jean jacket because it’s so easy to put on over athletic wear to elevate the outfit. I have three buttons on this jacket, one that says “I love Mom” (I mean, who doesn’t love their mom?) that I got on Mother’s Day. The second one is a Tribe button; when we started the crew in 2013, we didn’t have any gear, so we got the buttons made so that people could identify each other. The last button is the most recent one – I got it at the NYC Marathon, which is a special race for me.
Sweatshirt: New Balance (Men’s)
I like to be unique. One of the ways I can pull this off is shopping men’s pieces. I love the detailing on this sweatshirt – it’s almost like colour-blocking, but with all black.
Tights: New Balance
These look like a basic black tight from the front and then the back has a subtle geographic line pattern. I like pieces that are versatile in terms of functioning as workout gear, but then transitioning to casual wear as well. I pretty much always dress as though I might have to go for a run at any moment, but I don’t think that means you have to sacrifice looking good.
Shoes: New Balance (Men’s)
I’m of the opinion ‘who cares?’ when it comes to whether the website says that shoes are for men or for women. Most of my casual sneakers are technically men’s shoes – I just convert my size into men’s.
Running Apparel Top: Tribe longsleeve
This shirt is really reflective, so we’ve got a bit of fashion and a lot of function.
Shorts: New Balance
I’m definitely a shorts runner; I wish I could run in shorts all season long. This pattern is playful. I’m definitely a purposeful dresser; I like to match, and I truly believe that when you feel that you look good, you feel good about what you’re doing.
Shoes: New Balance Fresh Foam Zante
I’ve been wearing Zantes for the last couple of years, and they work really well for me no matter the goal race or training distance that I’m working towards.
Hat: Ciele
This hat is a perfect example of how I define my style – it’s clean and basic, but then its got that gold pop to give it a little something extra.
Watch: Garmin Forerunner 630
The Garmin is just so reliable and easy to use.
Socks: Stance
Stance makes fun prints and they are really comfy.—CF
