The perfect outfits for summer in the mountains
Hiking style, fresh and functional for walks in the woods and dinners in a hut
August 4th, 2020
Summer in the city may be funny but certainly hot. To avoid only living by night and turning into a bat, it’s advisable to seek fresh air somewhere else, like in the mountains. Going hiking or simply having a walk in the hills is so easy in Italy, full of beautiful destinations where to find a fresh spot and peace.
To perform this kind of activity, good for both physical and mental health, a specific gear is required. Tech fabrics and high-grip shoes will compose the perfect outfit. But this is not always the case, think of an happy hour in a hut or a walk through the mountain villages, where you can also show off not exactly technical and hyper-sporty looks.
So don’t worry, in the end it hasn’t got to be ugly and boring. We’ve got you covered. If you’d like to shine into your hiking session, you better have a look through our selection, handpicked by our staff from both technical and luxury brands, made by 10 pieces per category: jackets, tops, bottoms, shoes, hats and accessories.
Jackets and hoodies
One of the most dangerous things in the mountain is the temperature change, which can switch from very hot to very cold in less than a few minutes. Here you are with jackets and hoodies choosed to cover you up and protect you from the sun while being unapologetically yourself.
Tops & T-shirts
Layering is one of the top tips when winter comes. So it is for hiking gear. But when you pair style and function, the perfect cocktails pops out! Eco-friendly cotton t-shirts, simple and nice tops with utility details are the perfect solution. Pick one if you can!
Pants & shorts
Shorts and leggings will provide the needed fresh comfyness you need to hike up a beautiful summit, without being too tight. But you can wear pants (and skirts) too, don't worry!
Shoes
There comes the shoe moment: in the mountains is essential to wear proper shoes, that both are grippy enough to stick to the floor without letting you slide, comfy and good looking. The last variable is not necessary, but is beauty always necessary? YES. We wouldn’t give-up a visually-impactful look we can. High and Low top mountain boots alongside Vibram 5 feet shoes are the best we can suggest you.
Hats & accessories
In the mountains the sun kisses all, in a very inclusive way so also sunburs and sun rashes are included. Wearing a hat (and the right amount of sunscreen) will be the best option you can find good. And luckily, hats are the perfect useful accessory to spice up every look when needed. To reach the summit with all our baggage intact we need a good bag. The synthetic fabric is necessary but also a mini hanging accessories pocket are in vogue this year: everything that goggles under tour neck is good to be in fashion. So have fun with you mountain look with chains, belts, iphone and lunck bags etc.
