Hey guys, it’s Erin from Elements of Style, ready to get down and dirty with “camping fashion”. It’s not often we put fashion and camping in the same sentence, nevertheless, the same blog post.  Roughing it in the woods isn’t exactly the place to take your newest gladiator heels for spin on a twig strewn runway. The idea of it reminds me of that great Sex and the City episode where Carrie goes up to Aidan’s cabin and brings along mounds of luggage and perfectly curated country chic ensembles, only to end up in mud caked overalls.

However, with the development of glamping resorts, such as my personal favorite Paws Up in Montana, the combination of luxury and nature are readily available if your budget allows. Imagine tents with wood floors, granite and stone bathrooms with hot water, bedside lamps and glasses of chilled sauvignon blanc at the end of a tough day of guided hikes and time in the spa tent.

What could one pack for such an occasion? Why, I’m glad you asked:

If this whole Hermes-meets-hiking thing is a bit rich for your blood, perhaps a more rustic, normal camping experience is something worth trying.  Even the biggest glamour queen can benefit from fresh air, no wi-fi and a little breathing room.  It doesn’t mean you have to give up looking somewhat cute while toasting marshmallows by the fire and reading the newest InStyle by flashlight.
