Patagonia Better Sweater Fleece Jacket

You simply can’t go wrong with the Patagonia Better Sweater. Honestly, this is a classic for a reason!
It’s so soft it feels like a warm hug, and it instantly elevates any outfit from “just rolled out of the tent” to “effortlessly chic.” Throw this over your favorite jeans or leggings, and you’re perfectly set for a fun, cozy evening hanging out by the fire.
Columbia Women’S Bugaboo Ii Fleece Interchange Jacket

This is the ultimate workhorse jacket for women and men, and I love a piece that gives me options! The Bugaboo II is a great, reliable shell, but it’s the fleece inside that makes it a cozy go-to.
It looks super stylish when you’re layering up, and it fits right into that rugged-but-cute vibe. Perfect for those chilly nights when you really need to batten down the hatches!
North Face Osito 2 Jacket

If you want to feel like you’re wrapped in a cloud, grab the Osito 2. That super-soft, high-pile fleece is incredible for keeping you toasty when you’re hanging out under the stars. It adds a lovely, snuggly texture to your look, plus, it’s just so easy to throw on when the air gets crisp.
Rei Co-Op Trailsmith Pants

These pants are a winner for practicality and comfort. The Trailsmith Pants are durable (hello, sitting on logs and rocks!), but they have a great, relaxed fit that makes them super comfy for lounging. Pair them with a cute flannel shirt and you’ve got the quintessential, cozy campfire look.
Merrell Moab 2 Waterproof Hiking Shoes

The Merrell Moab 2 Waterproof Hiking Shoes are a key piece for your camping outfit aesthetic. They keep your feet dry and comfy while you explore the great outdoors, making them perfect for chilly nights around the campfire. Pair these with your favorite trekking outfit for women, and you’re set for a cozy adventure!
L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

As soon as those hiking boots come off, these babies need to go on! The name says it all: these L.L.Bean Slippers are wicked good.
They are pure sheepskin bliss for your feet. I swear, changing into these by the fire is the best part of the day. They make any outfit, even just leggings and a tee, feel instantly cozier.
Eddie Bauer Guide Pro Pants

If you’re looking for the perfect addition to your camping outfit, the Eddie Bauer Guide Pro Pants are a solid choice. These pants are not only comfy for chilly nights but also stylish, fitting right into the camping fashion scene. Pair them with a cozy sweater for a cute camping outfit that keeps you warm while enjoying the great outdoors.
Patagonia Women’S Capilene Midweight Crew

The Patagonia Women’s Capilene Midweight Crew is a cozy choice for chilly nights under the stars. Its lightweight fabric keeps you warm without feeling bulky, making it a great addition to your camping outfits aesthetic. Pair it with your favorite granola outfits for summer adventures or use it as a layering piece for those cool evenings by the campfire.
Rei Co-Op Camp Dreamer Sleeping Bag

So, this isn’t technically an outfit, but your sleeping setup is the final layer of your cozy night! The Camp Dreamer bags are super soft and come in fun colors and patterns, which I love. Don’t just survive the night; snuggle up and truly sleep like a queen! It’s the last, best piece of your cold-weather camping wardrobe.
Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Bottoms

For those genuinely cold nights, the kind where you can see your breath, Smartwool is your best friend. These Merino wool bottoms are ridiculously soft, breathable, and an absolute game-changer for layering. Wear them under your pants, or honestly, wear them on their own inside the tent with a big cozy sweatshirt. Talk about maximum snuggle factor.
