It’s Friiiiiiiiiiiday! I have a little review for you guys today from the outdoor clothing shop Trespass.
I was sent two items from their summer range (though this morning it has been raining and doesn’t feel much like summer…standard British weather *sighs*).
Betty Womens Long Sleeve Top (£12.49)
The first item is a long sleeved base layer. It’s ideal for skiing or, for what I plan to use it for, before a race to keep your body temperature nice and warm. Though we are in summer, most races start in the morning and it’s still rather cool so rather than standing their feeling chilled this is ideal to keep me warm but not too hot. Obviously it’ll be great for winter as well underneath a jacket or coat for the extra added warmth (it’s all about layers!). It’s very soft and fits nicely. I like the zip as well as it means you can keep your neck warm skiing/walking, or if you’re too hot zip it down.
Elesie Womens Floral Playsuit (£13.99)
I never thought I’d be a playsuit type of girl, but I love this! It’s so pretty and easy to wear and perfect for hot summer days, having a BBQ or picnic. And no worries about the wind blowing your skirt up or protecting your modesty while lolling around on the grass 😉 I like that it has a belt-like tie as well so gives a bit of definition rather than being sack-like.
It’s not something I could get away with wearing to work however (my work are very relaxed about clothing but not that relaxed). The shorts area are quite high (but not indecent!). The only thing I will say, and this is true for all playsuits and not this one specifically, is that it does make bathroom visits a bit of a saga as it’s a one-piece item.
Trespass have a great range of summer items (I never knew they did ‘normal’ clothing and was pleasantly surprised by their selection – has quite a nice ‘festival’ theme) and obviously all the usual outdoorsy type stuff, like camping equipment and outdoor sports clothing.
Do you buy anything from Trespass?
Do you go camping a lot?
Are you a fan of playsuits/jumpsuits?
**Full Disclosure: I was sent these two items for free in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own honest ones.**
Love the playsuit – I never realised Trespass did “normal” clothing either, I’ve only ever bought ski base layers from them in the past!

That playsuit is really cute. Not something I could get away with wearing, but it looks great on you 🙂

The pattern on that top is lovely.
I think I had a few tops from there as we have an outlet near us. I am not a camping fan though- we used to camp when we were little and I loved it then, but when I was a teenager I went to a lot of festivals, and the final one (when I was 22 I think) was really the final straw what with the toilet situation. But I do like walking outdoors, and running 🙂
Hooray for the weekend- this week has felt twice as long as usual!

Urrrgh yeah toilet situations in campsites are just not fun.
I could never do festivals! I just don’t like music enough to go through that haha.

Ahh you look great Anna! I was so tempted by the zip up top but my sensible side meant I plumped for waterproofs instead. The play suit is so pretty on you!

Waterproofs were a really good shout – especially considering the latest British weather!!

I’m not usually a fan of playsuits either, but this one is so cute! I could never wear one purely because I go to the bathroom far too often and would quickly get fed up of having to completely undress every time haha

I know, I go to the loo so often it is really annoying. But beauty is pain 😉 haha

I wasn’t aware they sold ‘normal’ clothes either. I like the pattern on the playsuit.
The only time I really go camping now is for races. I used to go all the time when I was younger…in the back garden, at guide camp, at festivals… I camped on Thursday night before the race and I forgot just how cold it is at night still. This is August! I didn’t expect to have to wear three tops, a hoodie and my coat whilst tucked up in my sleeping bag!
