Style Trend : W I L D

Let us take you on a journey-before-your-journey, a journey to get you equipped for the great outdoors - the North Beach way. We've come up with 3 easy steps to help you look wild(ly fabulous) in the wild. We love experimenting and being a lil' bit riskayyy with what we produce and the clothes we wear so we have re-written the rules to bring you some updated 2022 outdoor adventure style inspo.

- COLOUR -

Historically we like to blend in when we're in the bush - but not any more. Standing out starts with colour. Complement your 'fit by choosing colours that match - opposite hues on the colour wheel are a go-to. Now we know what you're thinking, functional garms' aren't usually pretty colours but that's where we come in to help ya'll out. Your fav flannel might be constructed of natural tones - some call these staples and they aren't wrong! BUT if you add a pop of colour in the form of a hoodie or tee underneath, boom you have yourself a stylish, C O L O U R F U L 'fit as easy as that!

- PATTERNS -

Now fam we all love a good flannel moment but we think it's time to branch out (literally). Bush camo and abstract prints have been added to the mix and we are not mad about it. An easy way to bring some flare to your usual activewear getup or pants and hoodie combo - assemble the patterned pieces and feature them like a work of art. This is the fun part so go WILD!

- LAYERING -

The last step is bringing colours and patterns together and layering them up. We like to pull feature colours from your patterns of choice and highlighting them by adding under (or over) garments - sounds wild? That's the point!

It's getting chilly out so layering is something you need to master ASAP! Don't be shy when it comes to stacking - remember you can always take off if you get too hot (but with these cold days ahead we doubt you'll need to). Start with a a light garm' then move to medium and heavy, whether that's a Raincoat, Puffer Jacket or Woolen Flannel, we suggest looking out for those functional pieces to keep you equipped for the elements.

Now that you're ready for the mighty outdoors, keep a look out for our next blog that highlights must see places and fav spots around the New Zealand and beyond.

Happy adventuring!
