If you’re thinking of getting into hiking but don’t know what to wear, fear not! We’ve curated 15 cute hiking outfits that are stylish, flattering and trail-ready. These outfits consist of weather hiking looks & modest outfit ideas.
- Ideas: maintain-ready layers and cute Pink matching sets, here are the best hiking outfits you’ll actually want to wear.
How To Make Your Hiking Outfit Both Stylish and Trail-friendly
Just because your outfit is cute doesn’t mean it should be impractical. Aim for a hiking outfit that lets you move easily, is appropriate for changing weather and keeps you comfy for hours.
For the best hiking outfit, your ensemble should be made with breathable fabrics, have comfy shoes and your personal style. What’s the point of looking at those cute shorts when the waistband is digging in, or your feet are screaming for help because your shoes hurt? You get my point?
Comfort first, style second. In addition to that, I would look for pieces that are moisture-wicking.
Some items worth investing in for hiking are:
- Moisture-wicking tops
- High-waisted leggings
- Trail-friendly trainers
- A supportive sports bra
- Flexible hiking shorts
Biker Shorts + Cropped Vest + Overshirt
This is a simple sports outfit you can put together. Start with biker shorts and then add an overshirt over them. This makes a flattering hiking outfit for sunny hiking days.
High-Waisted Hiking Shorts + Ribbed Tank Top
Tank tops are great for a hike, especially on those hot Summer days, while the high-waisted shorts keep things stylish and practical too.
Start with your fav high-waisted shorts and your tank top. I would opt for clean and minimal colours like black, olive, beige & sand.
Sporty Skort + Lightweight Zip Top
A sporty skort is perfect if you want to rock a skirt with coverage underneath. All you need is to pair it with a lightweight zip top for a sporty and chic look. Add a matching face cap and comfy sneakers, and you’re done.
Loose Trail Shorts + Oversized Tee
Opt for a comfy look when hiking this season by pairing loose trail shorts with an oversized tee. It makes sense because you don’t want outfits that cling to your body when it’s hot and sweaty, do you? This ensemble is perfect for relaxed, casual summer walks.
Pink Matching Sets + Trainers
Add a feminine touch to your hiking outfits by pairing a pink matching set. This matching set is cute, girlie, but practical for easy hiking routes. Complete the look with white socks, trainers & a headband to keep your hair in place.
Spring Hiking Outfits With Leggings and Light Layers
Spring weather can be unpredictable, so layering is non-negotiable this season. These outfits will keep you warm without getting too toasty.
Black Leggings + Half-Zip Fleece
I love fleece! They’re my go-to on those cooler spring days. They’re a great idea when you want to go hiking this season. Pair them with black leggings, and you’ll have a simple, flattering hiking outfit.
Sage Green Leggings + Longline Top
Don’t want to wear black? No problem. Swap black leggings for sage green ones for a fresh look. Add a longline top with these leggings, and you’ll have a chic and comfy outfit perfect for hiking.
Flared Leggings + Waterproof Shell
This is another stylish look. Waterproof shells are super practical for a hike, especially if it suddenly rains or becomes windy. Pairing it with flared leggings creates a softer look that’s comfy enough for walking trails. I always stick to neutral colours in this outfit to look polished.
Neutral Leggings + Quilted Gilet
Want to stay warm and move easily in your hiking outfits? Consider this pairing for your next trip. I love it because neutral tones like grey or beige make your outfit look expensive, while the quilted gilet keeps you warm without restricting your movement. Finish with sleek trainers and a baseball cap – super chic!
Leggings + Long Tee + Light Jacket
We love the modest look of the leggings, long tee and jacket combination. The longer tee keeps you covered yet relaxed, and the light jacket adds warmth for early morning walks and shaded trails. This combo is comfortable enough to wear for hours without constantly having to adjust your clothes.
Mountain Hiking and Modest Outfit Ideas With More Coverage
Cargo Trousers + Fitted Long Sleeve Top.
Cargo trousers are perfect for longer hiking trails. They’re my favourite because they’re super practical and don’t look too techy, especially in earthy shades like beige, olive or charcoal. Pair your cargo trousers with a fitted long sleeve top to balance out the looser bottom, your favourite hiking boots and a backpack to carry everything you’ll need for your hike.
Straight-Leg Trousers + Cropped Jacket
We love the chic look of these straight-leg trousers and a cropped jacket combination! The straight-leg trail trousers create a clean look but are flexible enough for walks, while the cropped jacket helps define your waist and prevents that dreaded bulky look. My go-to for this outfit is simple accessories and neutral colours for a stylish look.
Wide-Leg Trousers + Ribbed T-shirt
Heading out for a longer hike, then this combo is perfect for you. Start with wide-leg walking trousers to keep you cool, then add a ribbed t-shirt to keep things balanced and practical. The ensemble works well for women who prefer loose silhouettes but want to stay comfortable and stylish.
.Softshell Trousers + Fleece Layer
The softshell trousers and fleece layer are great if you’re going for a hike up the mountains on a cloudy and cold day. These trousers help block wind and light rain without restricting your movement. The fleece layer keeps you comfy on cooler days. Add hiking boots, thick socks, and a beanie, and you’re good to go.
Utility Leggings + Longer Overshirt
Utility leggings are perfect for both the gym and a hike because they’re practical and flattering. Especially the ones with pockets! Layer a longer overshirt over a sports bra, and you’ll get a relaxed, stylish look. Finish off with chunky trainers, a baseball cap and a neutral backpack for a fashionable and easy hiking outfit.
