Soft, for once. Don't get used to it. A charcoal and green colour-block sports top, charcoal leggings with a green waistband, and a cream zip knit cardigan worn open. Cosy has a time limit. It's about an hour. Sidewalk stretch, early autumn.

A charcoal and bottle-green colour-block sports top and leggings under a slouchy cream zip cardigan, stretched out on the sidewalk.

The set is two-tone: a cropped sports top in charcoal with vertical bottle-green panels, seamed like a bodice, and high-waisted leggings in charcoal with a green waistband and green side panels that run down the outside of the leg. Over it, a slouchy cream knit cardigan with a two-way zip, dropped shoulders and deep ribbed cuffs, worn open and pushed back on the shoulders.

The knit is the point. It makes the walk to training feel like a Sunday, keeps the chill off in autumn and early spring, and looks exactly as dressed as needed in the café line afterwards. Towel tucked under the collar, black bottle in hand, plain black trainers.

The cardigan is for the coffee. The leggings are for pretending I went.
