Cute Clothes For Camping | Summer 2014
Clothes That Are Cute by the Campfire and Functional, Too
Car camping may just be the best of both worlds: you get a little bit of nature without having to miss the comforts of home (or bathroom). If this sounds like your next camping trip, then these cute, comfortable, and functional clothes — perfect for any outdoorsy, moderately active weekend — will keep you dry, protected, and feeling cute while you hike, camp, and lounge by the fire.
For a little extra sun and bug protection on the trail, sport the Lululemon Fast and Free Jacket ($128). It will keep you covered while allowing your body to breathe, yet it's lightweight enough to stuff in your day pack if you start to get overheated on your hike.
Big enough for all your day-hike essentials, The North Face Recon Backpack ($99) features padded shoulder straps and an ergonomic, mesh-lined design for all-day comfort on the mountain.
During a hot day hike, you'll be glad you opted for the breathable yet sturdy Merrell Moab Mid Ventilator ($100) hiking boots. They grip rocky trails and give you the ankle support you need without making your feet feel like burning coals.
Nights around the campfire can get chilly, so pack a comfy fleece sweatshirt — preferably one that showcases your love of the outdoors, like this Happy Camper Fleece Crewneck ($80).
Lounge around the campsite or go exploring in the river: these Teva Original Universal Sandals ($40) grip slippery trails well and won't fall off like regular flip-flops.
Slap on the sunscreen and slip on this wicking Athleta Chi Tank Extra Long Tank ($42); the length keeps you covered while you're hiking up steep trails.
Admit it: as much as you want to connect with nature, your outdoor home makes a pretty good Instagram. Keep your phone, wallet, sunscreen, and other essentials close by — no matter what camping antics you get up to — with a cute, lightweight, crossbody Fjall Raven Pocket ($40).
If you're spending any time at all in nature, this L.L. Bean UV Buff Headwear bandanna ($27) might just be your new best friend. It has built-in UV protection and insect repellant, so you can tie it around your head or neck to feel a little more comfortable no matter what you're doing.
For regular moderate trail hiking and lounging by the lake, these not-too-tight, quick-drying Roxy Energy Capris ($68) provide enough protection from dry brush and mosquitoes while allowing you to move freely.
Look stylish while protecting your face from wind and sun with the Columbia Wrangle Mountain Fishing Hat ($20).
