Our favourite bit of kit shirt

Product Description

At RBC Our favourite bit of kit shirt a photographer runs with the group. “A lot of people have got into running via social media,” says Hobson, who notes how the uptick in casual running clubs can be linked to the sport’s aesthetic, and how it fits into a wider trend for technical adventurewear. “They see the similarities with what they want to wear on a day-to-day casual basis,” he says, listing cool outdoor brands such as Arc’teryx, Hoka and Satisfy, which all make stylish, up-market running kit. (A pair of Satisfy’s eight-inch Techsilk shorts cost an eye-watering £180.) In Greenwich, there is definitely a look. For starters, everyone is young, ranging from early-twenties to late-thirties. And there are lots of tight, cycling-style shorts, brightly coloured trainers with enormous foam soles, visor-like sunglasses and even the odd ultramarathon-style backpack. The common thread, though, is merchandise. Most of the runners are wearing either the white RBC club tee or the green club socks, or both. The shirt is just a simple crew neck with the club logo – a coffee cup with legs – printed small on the front, and large on the back. Definitely more streetwear than marathon-wear.

I start with the Our favourite bit of kit shirt Shein BAE Glitter Sheer Mesh Top Without Bra. The shirt looks like the pictures: long-sleeved and made of stretchy black mesh, with glittery flecks embedded in the fabric. I’ve bought a size large, and it’s too big: the shoulder seams droop sadly off my collarbones. The elastic seams are puckered. It’s less itchy than anticipated, and the fabric is slinky and cold against my skin. I feel like a different version of myself, like the kind of girl who captions her Instagram posts with the sparkle emoji. I imagine wearing my new Shein BAE Glitter Sheer Mesh Top with a bra and black jeans, drinking with friends. I imagine looking across the room and seeing a girl dressed nearly exactly like me, but she’s wearing the Shein BAE Lettuce Edge Glitter Mesh Top Without Bra, instead. My other new Shein garment is both uglier and more distinctive. It’s the Shein Unity Tie Shoulder Split Thigh Cami in lime green. The garment inside the ziplock bag is crumpled around a small square of tissue paper, which serves no discernible purpose. I’m surprised to see that neither the dress nor the shirt has any paper price tags attached: there’s nothing to indicate that the clothes are brand new beyond their intense chemical smells. I ordered this dress in a medium, and it barely pulls over my hips. The fabric is a medium-thick stretch knit similar to a heavy T-shirt. Thin, wavy folds have been stitched into the material, creating a ruched effect. The texture is unusual, but almost a nice detail. (My friend takes one look at the dress and describes it as having both the look and feel of a ribbed condom.)
