Start with the activity, the forecast and any clothing guidance from the organizer. Build your outfit around a shirt and pants or shorts, then consider footwear and any additional layers.
Try a T-shirt with straight-leg pants, a polo with shorts or a button-down shirt over a simple tee. Keep the combination straightforward and choose pieces that feel like your personal style.
Begin with a neutral such as navy, khaki or gray, then add a color you enjoy. Nature-inspired shades pair nicely together, while a patterned shirt can be the starting point for the rest of your outfit.
Make one element your own: a favorite plaid, a bright color or a familiar shirt silhouette. You don't need an entirely different look to enjoy time outside—start with the styles you already like.
Choose a small group of tops, pants and shorts in complementary colors. Include both solids and a favorite pattern so you can create different combinations without starting from scratch each time.
