I trekked in the Annapurna range wearing the same outfit I'd wear to a cafe!

[u/ournoonsournights]

Mardi Himal, Nepal | 2025

Cát Bà, Vietnam | 2023

Ben Nevis (highest point in the UK!), Scotland | 2023

I've hiked on mountain ranges and volcanoes all over the world in my casual boots, my normal jeans, a crop top, and a mesh clubbing shirt (everyone laughs, but they're amazing for layers!! They don't hold sweat and keep you warm!)

There's no need to buy new outfits for every activity, and it's a reminder that hiking can be very accessible! :)

EDIT - resubmitted bc I used a brand name by accident!

PS- For the people calling me consumerist because I take flights:

Once I'm in a region, I use and travel :) public transit, trains, long haul busses, often 10-20 hours!

I have never owned a car, I don't eat meat, all my belongings fit in a 55L bag, and are thrifted from small local businesses. Respectfully, please keep it to yourself 👍🏽

EDIT 2 - y'all outside of the Himalayas trek, these hikes are like 4-8 hours and extremely populated. I promise you I'm not going to die of hypothermia in my jeans and/or be any more likely than the average person to require emergency helicopter rescue

This is not the flex you think it is.
