Whether or not you deem yourself a city girl, if the idea of roughing it on a mountain brings up cringe-worthy images of dowdy khaki pants and hats, plus an ill-fitting, dirty shirt, then we have some tips to help you stay stylish all summer long. Activewear has become increasingly cute, with an increasing number of brands selling pieces that are both functional and fashionable. You may still have to leave behind the sporty runway looks that have been released lately, but here are a few tips for looking great on the trail.
Polarized Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a must-have for any outdoor activity. Not only will they complete your look, but they’ll also help keep your eyes protected.
Hiking Boots
If you’re going to be spending a lot of time on the trail, a cute but functional pair of hiking boots is a must-have. Good boots will help keep you on stable footing while ensuring you don’t ruin your sports shoes if you stumble across some mud.
Backpack
You might be tempted to hit the trails with your newest clutch, but you’ll be much better off with a bag that can hold things like snacks and extra layers. Hiking with a backpack will help you distribute your weight more evenly, and keep your hands free when things get rough.
Baseball Cap
Wearing a hat while your spending the day in the sun is your best bet for keeping your skin looking young. It will also help give you shade in the summer heat.
Sports Leggings
When planning your outdoor adventure, you may consider wearing capris, but when dealing with nature, it’s a much better idea to keep your skin as covered as possible. Sports leggings with ventilation panels look super cute, but will also help you stay cool throughout your trek.
