BONUS: Go-To Hiking Style
Functional doesn't have to mean forgettable. For your next outdoor adventure, consider these stylish hiking essentials:
The cropped funnel-neck jacket: A sleek, cropped funnel-neck jacket gives you that sporty, fashion-forward silhouette while providing an extra layer when temperatures drop. Try one in a bold color rather than traditional black or navy.
Unexpected color combinations: Take inspiration from nature, but don't be afraid to turn up the volume. Think cobalt and tangerine, lavender and chartreuse, tomato red and bubblegum pink, or emerald and sky blue.
The elevated fanny pack: Hands-free is essential on the trail, but your waist pack doesn't have to look purely utilitarian. Look for a sleek technical fabric, quilted finish, interesting hardware or sculptural shape.
A statement base layer: A fitted performance top or sleek quarter-zip makes the perfect foundation for layering and can easily transition from trail to lunch.
Colorful technical socks: A small dose of personality peeking out above your hiking shoe can make the entire outfit feel more intentional.
A monochromatic moment: Pick one color family and build your hiking look around it. Think shades of lavender, varying greens or a range of sunny yellows. It looks effortlessly chic in photos and requires almost no styling effort.
Fashion-forward sunglasses: The easiest way to make an outdoor outfit feel instantly pulled together. Go sporty with a twist. Oversized, colorful or unexpectedly sculptural.
