I own one UA long sleeve shirt. I purchased it years ago when I still played ice hockey, as it was much better under pads than a cotton t-shirt.
I refuse to pay primo $ for something I can get at Target or wherever for a quarter of the price. |

For warm weather running, I own 3 pairs of shorts, 2 grey, one black. I have 4 shirts, one of which is grey. Every now because of laundry issues, I have to wear a grey shirt with grey shorts. I feel like a tool because it looks like I have an "outfit".

| Yeah...I actually try to avoid being too coordinated...always looks so n00bish. I may have top and bottoms that match, but I will try to make sure that my socks and hat clash. Though it's funny how many clothing items I have that match my shoes (NB 902s...bright cyan blue). Some items I had before I had the shoes, some I have bought since, but only because they were on clearance--it's usually coincidence if I put together things that match. |

I like Under Armour "heat gear".  I have a few Target specials too. Call me eclectic. Anything that makes me look slender is good.  Lots of black. Black is slimming... |

Yes! And if one wears a crazy bright hat and bright colored shoes no one notices everything in-between...at least that's my theory.  |

I completely mix brands with impunity. I don't make an effort to color coordinate, but I do make an effort to not look color-uncoordinated. But the main thing is that all fabrics must be tech fabrics. From socks to hat, runderwear to windbreaker, it's got to be light breathable, and not cotton.
I can't remember that last time I wore a stitch of non-tech fabric, but I do know that if I were confronted with a situation where I had to wear cotton to run in, I'd at least consider skipping the run. |

Ditto. As much as I sweat it would be a recipe for severe chafing and general discomfort. About the only thing I would wear of cotton would be a hat. |

Hey, mine too! I always wear the brightest colors possible. I don't want a car to hit me on the road, and I want to be found if a cougar drags me into the woods. (Kind of kidding, but not really)  |

Yeah...drives me nuts that so much in the way if Winter running gear is black or navy...like that stands out against all the rest of the grey terrain. I wish I could find more bright-colored windbreakers and hats for Winter. |

A "drag race" would be a fun run. I would be so on that. No heels, though. |
