Start with what you already have and slowly upgrade as you go to things that will keep you safe, comfortable, and protected from the natural elements.
01.
Make sure it's stretchy and offers not only all-day comfort but support. Wear it alone or layer underneath a tank, T-shirt, or long-sleeved top.
02.
Form-fitting, supportive, and actually practical. They come in many colors and fabrics, so have fun playing mix and match.
03.
I love thrifting for flannels at the men's section. Make sure it's 100% wool and has an oversized fit. Tie it around your waist or wear it as an over-shirt!
04.
Investing in a sturdy well-made pair is a must to guarantee a safe and fun hiking experience. With a pair of hiking socks, they make a powerful duo!
05.
Poles offer incredible support when hiking long trails. Opt for lightweight poles from reputable brands and make sure to adjust the length accordingly.
06.
A bag that keeps you hand-free and fits enough water and food for the day. Don't forget essentials such as ID, power bank, personal items like medication and hygiene products.
07.
Jacket is also a must when hiking. Opt for material that's sweat-wicking and can provide a decent wind and rain protection. It must be lightweight and packable.
08.
Hats look cute and help keep the sun out of your face. Sunscreen, sunglasses, a bandana, mittens, and gloves are some other useful items to have when hiking as well.
