You Can Still Look Cute While Camping—Just Pack These
What to pack for camping (or glamping, let's be honest) can be a bit of a head-scratcher, especially for a fashion girl. As much as we'd like to tell you to just channel the '90s classic film Troop Beverly Hills and wish you luck out in the great outdoors, your weekend in the wilderness is going to require a little more sartorial planning. And since that's where our expertise lies, we're not going to remind you to bring your flashlight, canteen, and bug spray (although those are essential). Instead, we're going to remind you which shoes, jackets, and accessories to fill your weekender bag with.
While all the pieces highlighted below are undoubtedly stylish, they're also functional. Because if you're freezing once the sun sets or your feet are killing you on that five-mile hike, you won't care how cute you look (trust us). But you can be cute, prepared, and comfortable with the right gear. Ready to start planning your stylish camping adventure?
