Getting The Most Out Of Your Clothes

by Diane hong
There are many companies who claim they have the best hiking clothing. But how do you go about choosing the right clothing for hiking? Let us take a lot at the best clothes to go hiking.


While this may sound like a cliche, but projecting an image of confidence can make a huge difference. However, clothes that fit well and flatter you can equally boost confidence, so it is worth knowing what makes you feel better both on the inside and outside. In a sense, this forms a kind of virtues circle.


The pear shape is where the upper body is smaller than the lower part of the body, especially around the hips and thighs. They tend to have a longer neck and narrower shoulders as well. The best clothes are ones that highlight and maximize the shoulders and waist to balance out the lower part of the body. Clothes like halter tops and wrap dresses tend to flatter the figure best. With footwear, it is best to avoid stiletto heels with thinner heels being better for the overall look.


An apple shape is the opposite to the pear shape, with a larger waist and bigger upper rather than lower body. The best clothes have V necks to highlight the chest area and bras that provide suitable support, so it is important to get regular fittings. Materials like chiffon and silk are best for dresses, while chunky shoes like wedges are ideal.


Next you have to decide what kind of clothes you want. This will of course depend on the type of terrain you are going along and the conditions of the day. Like any holiday clothing, it pays to be sensible and prepare for anything. With your hiking clothes, synthetic materials are often a good idea as they will keep you dry. This is because unlike cotton a synthetic material will move sweat to the outside of the material, allowing it to evaporate more quickly and thus be more comfortable to wear. There are both loose and tight fitting hiking shirts depending on your preference.


For those with a fuller figure, there are numerous choices to help you get the most out of summer. Neutral and pale shades are flattering, while ethnic and natural print patterns will help you stand out, as will some well chosen accessories to go alongside them. With these kinds of clothes, it is important to get the right size, as a size smaller or bigger will not help you highlight your curves.


Socks are also important as they can absorb up to two pints of water a day. It is important you find the best socks to fit your posture, as this can lead to more fatigue and stress on the feet. Obviously it is also important to have socks that are appropriate for the temperature conditions, as the aforementioned additional sweat will not make you popular with your fellow hikers!


With any advice with clothing it is important to find a look that suits you. However, following these guidelines should ensure you get the most from your clothes. Remember, if any doubt it helps to discuss this with your tailor or shop fitter.
