With the UK set to have the wettest summer, football isn’t the only thing that’s coming home. We’d love to be in the beer gardens soaking up the good vibes when watching the Euros this year, but we might just have to stay indoors. Luckily there’s no dress code for the footie, or for the cricket or any casual sporting event! So whether you’re watching from the sofa or the pub, we’ve got your outfit covered. We have an extensive range of women’s t-shirts, from comfy cotton essentials to cute embroidered tees. Find your favourite and discover floral prints, sparkles and textured materials, as well as short-sleeve and long-sleeve options so you feel great no matter the weather. Name a better duo than jeans and a t-shirt? I’ll wait… Pair any t-shirt with a pair of stretch slim jeans for a flattering fit that will keep you comfortable all day long. And if you’re looking for a wider fit around the calves, we’d recommend our Mollie Mom Jeans or bootcut jeans. Take lounging to the next level in our collection of DASH clothing.

Here are some of our favourite activewear pieces from DASH We recommend lightweight and breathable activewear in the spring and summer months to keep you cool and comfortable. Look for moisture-wicking fabrics that help to draw sweat away from your body such as polyester blends and consider wearing tops with built-in ventilation, like vest tops or short-sleeved shirts with back panels. Pair with sports shorts or leggings for complete flexibility and ease of movement. It goes without saying that you should also invest in a pair of supportive trainers with good cushioning and traction to prevent any injuries. And don't forget a hat or visor to keep your hair off your face and most importantly, protect yourself from the sun's rays!
You really can't go wrong with a pair of bright and bold leggings in the spring and summer. Made from stretchy fabric, our essential leopard print leggings offer both flexibility and comfort, complete with a convenient side pocket. Pair them with a DASH short-sleeved t-shirt for a considered look to conquer your fitness goals in style.
Speaking of short-sleeved t-shirts, how about this gorgeous short-sleeved t-shirt? - We think this will be a new favourite thanks to the classic round neckline and stylish back cut out detail which brings something different to your activewear look. How about a Vest as an alternative to a T-shirt?
Made from comfortable fabric, our essential cut out back vest features a classic round neckline and is perfect for staying cool during a spring/summer run.
In Autumn and Winter, opt for activewear designed to keep you warm and comfortable during the inevitable colder weather. Look for fabrics that also provide insulation, such as thermal or fleece-lined materials to help regulate your body temperature and keep you dry. Layering is key during the colder months, so consider wearing a base layer followed by an insulating mid-layer like a light fleece jacket or sweatshirt. On top, add a windproof and water-resistant outer layer, such as a lightweight jacket or windbreaker, to protect against the elements. For bottoms, choose thermal leggings or joggers with a brushed cotton or fleece interior for added warmth. Don't forget a hat, gloves, and a neck gaiter or scarf to keep your extremities warm and wear supportive and weatherproof trainers with good traction to navigate any slippery terrain.
