It’s that time of the year again! Whether you’re on summer vacation or taking some much desirable (and probably needed) time off, a sun soaked road trip or cottage getaway is definitely on your to-do list this season. Time with family and friends is what the summer season is all about, and what better way to host a gathering than right in the center of tranquility; even the social media obsessed can escape reality.

For those of you who absolutely dread camping and can’t stand the thought of getting in touch with your “au natural” side, this post is absolutely catered towards you. There’s no need to fret, all you style-savvy individuals can maintain your fashion sense by opting for lighter textiles, and loose hanging shapes, without sacrificing any prints or colours that are unique to your taste. Keep accessories minimal, if any at all, and focus on stylish pieces that also serve a practicality purpose, such as sunglasses and wide brimmed hats. All of the grit and grease will merely be a subconscious feeling, and with comfortable, easy ensembles, camping will quickly become one of your favourite activities.
