Packing for our hiking trip to Gstaad was a whole new kind of style challenge for me. I need proper shoes and practical layers for long days on the trail, but I also want to feel pulled together when we stop for lunch or walk around town later. I’m building each look around that change, mixing functional pieces with color, texture, and a few unexpected details.
Below are four outfit ideas inspired by what I packed, and you can check them out complete packing video Here to see everything come together in style.
alpine stripes
Outfit for a long walk, starting in the cool morning air and ending with the sleeves pulled up on the way. The striped polo knit sets the tone, the lightweight jacket handles the early chill, and the yellow sneakers do the real work keeping things bright. The stripe on the socks is a small, intentional final touch.
city road
Easy energy after lunch after a walk. White cropped pants and a bright T-shirt keep it fresh, while the denim shirt provides enough weight for shade or a cool start. The bucket hat and scarf add functional personality, keeping the sun off my face and neck. After completion of the padyatra I will change to red slide.
color up
Orange shorts, a purple tank and a patchwork fleece bring an alpine-sports spirit, while sneakers, hat and socks ensure I’m ready for the actual climb. Who says hiking gear has to be neutral? Mountains are also a place to play with colors.
forecast proof
A look at the forecast that refuses to commit. A red jacket over stripes makes the outfit dressy, and the backpack holds everything that needs to be nearby if the temperature drops or the sun returns. Yellow sneakers keep the color intact, and SPF is the one accessory I would never want to leave on for a whole day in the mountains.
