Whether it's your first hike ever [1] or you're a hiking pro with surreal trails saved on your Pinterest board, you've got to dress for the occasion. That means comfy, sweat-wicking gear that will take you from point A to point B and everywhere else in between.
So long are the days where you only had a few options to choose from. We've rounded up functional (and super cute) gear that will have you feeling like a boss on the trails. From the coziest shoes to lightweight backpacks, we've got you covered. All you've got to do is plan your next adventure [2].
Girlfriend Collective Paloma Sports Bra
Once you've decided on a trail, make sure you have quality gear to hike in, like the Girlfriend Collective Paloma Sports Bra [4] ($38). It's a moisture-wicking bra, which means you won't have to worry about staying cool and dry.
Zella Live In High Waist Crop Leggings
Every closet needs a little black dress and a pair of go-to black leggings. We like the Zella Live In High Waist Crop Leggings [5] ($55) because they're stretchy, high-waist, and moisture wicking, which make them perfect for a weekend hike.
Teva Hurricane Drift Sandal
We've had our eyes on the Teva Hurricane Drift Sandal [6] ($30-$54) for quite some time. These sandals have an outsole designed for a variety of terrains, and are good for long hikes along with crossing streams.
The North Face Isabella Backpack
Stash all your snacks, sunscreen, water, and gadgets in your The North Face Isabella Backpack [7] ($85).
Girlfriend Collective High Waist 7/8 Leggings
One of the most important things to have on any hike is a comfortable pair of bottoms. We're loving the Girlfriend Collective High Waist 7/8 Leggings [8] ($68) right now.
Zella Switchback Shorts
If you're a shorts person, you've got to try the Zella Switchback Shorts [9] ($55). They're stretchy and also have a roll-tab hem so that you can customize the length of the shorts.
The North Face Hedgehog Fastpack Gore-Tex Waterproof Hiking Shoe
If your hike involves going through bodies of water (or the elements just take a turn) be prepared with The North Face Hedgehog Fastpack Gore-Tex Waterproof Hiking Shoe [10] ($120). They'll also support your heels — bye-bye achy feet!
