Halfdays Watson Nylon Cargo Pant

Embrace color and swishy sounds with these super cute, lightweight cargos. They're so retro and we're here for it.

Rave Review: "Love how different these pants are! They do fit oversized, and even with sizing down to a XS (usually a size S). Love the Loganberry color and keep in mind they are a little loud (swishy) when you walk. Pairs well with a cropped or fitted tank!"

this hat for sun protection

Athleta Excursion Bucket Hat

Excursion Bucket Hat

This bucket hat is camp in the most literal sense, and it'll provide you with some much-needed sun protection during your journey through the great outdoors. You can pair it with a matching tank top for a sunny day monochromatic slay.

Rave Review: "I've never been one to wear a hat, I always have a hooded jacket because I didn't think I had the head for any hats, but I need another item for my trip to Alaska that is rain resistant and this one had good reviews. It fits great and even has vents so my head doesn't get hot. I'm looking forward to using this."

this sweatshirt to go with all your outfits

American Giant Classic Full Zip

Classic Full Zip

Normally, we wouldn't suggest clothing made of 100 percent cotton (it can retain water and leave you feeling soggy), but AG's heavy-spun fleece is designed for wear and tear without literally weighing you down. It comes in a bunch of colors, including this version with a lil pickleball logo for extra cuteness.

this *highly comfortable* sneaker

Frankie4 Winnie II Black/White Suede

Winnie II Black/White Suede

A walking-friendly sneaker is a must, but you can still go with a more fashionable sneaker brand if your hike's not too intense. This one's made of durable materials, but the real key is that it has three different, removable soles for a narrow, medium, and wide fit (depending on what your feet need). You can swap them out mid-hike, too!
