What to Wear Now That You’re the “Outdoorsy” Type

If you’ve always been into road-tripping and trailblazing, consider this a practical roundup of pieces for deep inhales in wide-open spaces. But because no one should discover the pitfalls of trekking sockless in Vans the hard way, we’re also looking out for recent converts. These are the things that make meditative hikes, lounges by the lake, and camp dinners a little cuter—and a lot more comfortable.

TAKE A HIKE

Before setting out, get your gear sorted. Bright shorts with a little stretch, a breathable tank, and cushy socks make a solid base, but don’t forget the mission-critical accessories: unfussy sunglasses, a hat to save your skin, proper footwear, and a fanny pack for keys, snacks, and a camera.

LAKE LIFE

Some pull on a feminine one-piece and a bucket hat to retreat to a lakeside hammock. Others strap on adventure sandals and fly straight into a cannonball off the dock. Whatever reaction fresh water stirs up, don’t forget the hoodie, SPF, and towel.

A tent outfitted with everything you need for a cozy night in the woods lets you show up in a sundress and slides, unpack your blanket and bug spray, and get that campfire glow without the high-stakes setup. Plan a packing list with layers: a knit to pull on in the afternoon, a utility jacket with nature-walk-ready pockets, and a throw for snuggling after dark.
