If you’ve been spending too much time indoors these days, you know that daily walks or hikes can be your saving grace. This is also an opportunity to have a little fun with fashion when you’re out on the trail, so we’re here with some tips for outdoor style.

Tip #2: Bring a Bag

Bags are an absolute must if you’re out for a longer stroll. A crossbody or fanny pack style is key for storing doggy bags, treats, AirPods, your phone, backup masks, and lip balm. Luckily there are plenty of great deals on these types of bags, and you can get just about any type that you like.

This crossbody is unisex and made to keep all your hiking supplies organized.

Tip #3: Traction is Key

Support and traction are an absolute must while hiking, for both comfort and safety. Regardless of the time of year, traction in your shoes helps prevent slipping and generally makes a walk more comfortable. Hiking boots and sneakers can get boring on their own, so it’s always nice to pair them with come statement socks that will pop – and keep you cozy on the trail!

Tip #4: Bring Sunglasses and Sunscreen

It may still be chilly, but that doesn’t mean you’re immune from the sun. Even in winter, you want to protect your skin and eyes from the elements. A good facial sunscreen and colourful glasses will be a necessary addition to any hiking kit.

 Tip #5: Have a Drink

Last but certainly not least, it’s great to bring a travel cup on your hikes! A nice tea or coffee will keep you warm in the snow, or a smoothie or juice will energize you. Travel cups are so nice because they’re lightweight and can be stored when your drink is done. The eco style from Huskee is especially great – and environmentally friendly!
