Everyone has a different idea of the perfect holiday and for some that's an escape to the mountains. From hiking to fly fishing and rock climbing, outdoorsy types are well-equipped with the best gear and functional performance wear, but when it comes to those extra outfits you need for activities like hanging at a cabin, relaxing fireside, aprés hot spring, and dinners alfresco, low-key cute outfits are essential.
If you don't exactly consider yourself an outdoorswoman and identify more as a fashion-girl out of water — mountain resorts and spas are a totally acceptable way to connect with mother nature btw — formulating outfits that combine trendy pieces with technical wear is a fun way to embrace a fresh-air escape. With "ugly" fashion trending from Birkenstocks and Tevas to the gorpcore aesthetic which is a style of dressing that combines outdoorsy and fashion pieces into a granola-chic look, it's a superfun and comfortable way to look cute during a mountain retreat if an 8-mile hike at 10,000+ feet isn't quite your thing.
From cute shorts outfits [1] to loungewear looks and easy denim combos, ahead, 5 stylish outfits to wear on your next mountain holiday, including affordable pieces like this crazy-soft tank top [2] from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [3].
