There are a lot of outdoor activities that you can engage in if you’re tired of being a couch potato. But to engage in such activities you have to dress up for it. Whether you are going for a hike or even an execution, you have to dress for it. Finding the right clothing for that can be a struggle as some of the activities may require you to dress down. But there are certain clothing that you can wear no matter the situation. For example, you are likely to wear a shirt when you’re out on an outdoor activity. You, of course, have to be stylish about it and not look shabby. Here are a few tips for clothing that you can consider for different outdoor activities.

Walking Clothes 

If you’re going outdoors, you probably want to wear something that you can easily walk around in. First, you need a pair of shorts, that is, if you’re confident enough to pull them off and depending on the weather. You also need a pair of gripping boots or shoes. When it comes to footwear, you have to pay top dollar to get quality for the walk. You don’t want boots that may end up bruising your feet. You also need a waterproof jacket – this can be a summer or winter waterproof jacket.

Gloves and Socks 

Recreation is only fun when you have the right clothing, especially during the winter season. During this period, the cold can creep in through your feet and hands in most scenarios. To combat this, you need the right socks and gloves, not just to keep you warm but comfortable enough for activities you’re taking part in. Since you’ll be taking your phone, you need gloves that are touch-screen compatible. For socks, you can choose the woolen thick ones if you’re wearing boots. Look out for socks that manage sweat to prevent blisters too. 

Shirts 

One of the most enticing clothing tips you should use is to wear an comfortable shirt. Nothing screams more than golf shirts as there’s something about them that gives them a trendy and fashionable look. If you’re going on horse-back riding and such activities that don’t require much work-out, this is all you need to have on. They come in different brands so you will be spoilt for choice trying to decide. 

Leggings 

Leggings are becoming quite a trend for outdoor activities due to the comfort they provide. If you’re into running tights you can use them too, but try to avoid cotton ones. You want tights that don’t trap sweat. Most leggings are base layers which means they don’t trap sweat, making your outdoor experience comfortable. In case you are cycling, legging with padding is ideal. If you have a hard saddle, they can be the difference-maker through your ride.

Hats 

Hats, though trendy and generally associated with hippies, can be a great clothing accessory for certain outdoor activities. They can be worn to most outdoor activities you decide to take part in, whether in winter or summer. For winter, a fleece-lined hat can make a useful cold-weather accessory. 

Underwear 

Believe it or not, if you want a comfortable outdoor experience, you have to choose the right underwear. You want something that will effectively hold body heat. This is why it is recommended that you go for thermal underwear, especially if you’re out during the winter period. Thermal underwear is made of polyester and cotton which is effectively how it can hold the heat. 

Quality Shoes 

When it comes to shoes, there are no two ways about it. You need the right shoes for outdoor activities and they come at a cost. You need quality shoes no matter the terrain you’re going to explore. If you’re going hiking, you need quality gripping boots – preferably. You also want something that fits your feet to a tee. Oversized boots can be heavy on your feet and if you’re in a group you will be slacking behind with them. If you wear smaller-sized shoes, the whole experience can be uncomfortable and your feet may end up filled with painful blisters. If you’re cycling, then you need to have cycling shoes on – ones with cleats. These shoes are designed to grip the pedals keeping your feet connected throughout.
