Sunset, a track, and me pretending to run. A teal racerback crop top, teal seamed leggings cut high at the waist, black knit running trainers. Matching on purpose. One lap for the photo, one for the view. Rooftop, before dark.

A teal racerback crop top and high-waisted seamed leggings, worn on a rooftop track at sunset with black running trainers.

A matching set in deep teal: a racerback crop top with a wide hem band and clean bonded edges, and high-waisted leggings cut with panel seams that curve down the back of the leg and wrap the calf. The fabric is a dense, matte stretch knit, the kind that keeps its colour after the fortieth wash and does not go shiny at the knee. No mesh, no print, no contrast trim. The colour does the work.

Worn with black knit running trainers on a thick cushioned sole and no extra layer, because the arms are already decorated. It works from spring into early autumn: on the track, on the roof, on the walk to coffee afterwards. Add a cropped black jacket if the wind comes up off the street, and leave the hair down, which is impractical and correct.

Colour on me is news. Teal counts as a press release.
