How We're Styling Columbia

Columbia. The brand of choice for lovers of crunchy granola, Birkenstocks, and kombucha. Renown for their range of iconic fleece sweatshirts in an array of colours and styles, they've established themselves as a staple cult-classic piece in the 'drobes of you outdoorsy types.

In recent times, the trails have been graced by the more fashion-forward of us, leaving the rest of us common folk trying to play catch up. But fear not, my friends. Take a peek at our little Columbia style guide, and you too can be a fashion-forward trail blazer like the cool-gals you see on the 'gram.

HOW TO STYLE: Backbowl™ II Full Zip Fleece Sweatshirt

For the neutral ladies, their Backbowl™ II Full Zip Fleece Sweatshirt in Chalk/Lemon Wash is a no-brainer essential. Paired with a SB Dri-Fit Kearny Cargo Shorts from Nike and Plug's Headband, this tonal palleted look remains practical without compromising on aesthetics. Tackle that trail while looking cute, girl! You can do both!

HOW TO STYLE: Sequoia Grove™ Full Zip Fleece Sweatshirt

Going for a little sporty chic on this one, the Sequoia Grove™ Full Zip Fleece still keeps things classic but with a touch of intrigue from the dreamy teal wash. Slapping on the Provisions™ Ball Cap brings in a subtle athletic edge, not to mention some much needed shade from that lethal Aotearoa sun! Our Sophie Skirt from Thrills lets you step into a more feminine realm of style while still allowing for movement and breathability.

HOW TO STYLE: Helvetia™ Crop Half Snap Fleece Sweatshirt

Heading back to the palette of choice for most of you earthy babies, the Helvetia™ Crop Half Snap Fleece Sweatshirt in Canoe/Chalk/Camel is about as neutral as we get. This ones got a real cozy feel to her, perfect for when you just can't wait for the sun and simply have to embark on that chilly hike. Impressive. Styled with the Sprinter Shorts from Adidas, the brown striped detail complements the fleece just *mwah* - perfectly. And of course, the very necessary cherry on top, Adidas's Teamgeist Cap. A very Adidas outfit for a very stylish gal! AKA you!

HOW TO STYLE: Sequoia Grove™ Full Zip Fleece Sweatshirt

Now, here's one for the full-send fashionistas who absolutely refuse to compromise on style - even on a rocky trek where slippage and rippage is a very real possibility. But who the hell cares when you look this damn cute!? Not you, that's for sure. Back in the Sequoia Grove™, but this time with the Alepnglow/Pink Sand colourway. Cute! Finished off with Rusty's I Kissed A Pearl Shorts (watch out Katy Perry) we've ended up with the pinkest, frilliest, adorablest look to ever grace the bush trail. What's it like being that girl?
