For fashion girls who are escaping to the woods this summer for the ultimate camping getaway, it may be a difficult sartorial move to part with your favourite frocks and strappy sandals. However, the call of the True North means that exploration, adventure and wilderness are certainly on the radar this Summer 2016. Whether you’re on your way to Algonquin Park or Banff, we’ve rounded some essential fashion buys for the red-blooded yet perfectly stylish Canuck fashionista.

1) RD Style Buffalo Plaid Shirt With Solid Back, $48: Nothing is more suitable for a weekend of campfires and ghost stories than the ubiquitous buffalo plaid shirt. We are liking the red and black checkered print on this blouse, along with the relaxed fit, solid black back and cool asymmetrical cut.

2) Paige Denim Shorts, $60: Try slipping into a comfortable yet chic pair of denim shorts, which can easily flatter your plaid top and create an instant outfit. These Paige Denim jean cut-offs feature a sophisticated dark blue wash, slight whiskered detail and rolled-up hems.

3) Zella ‘Live-In’ Slim Fit High Rise Leggings, $75: Back at home, you may only sport leggings at the gym, but camping offers an opportunity to swap your pencil skirts for casual bottoms. With their high waist and mesh accents, these black polyester and spandex leggings are versatile and will also enhance your curves.

4) Comme des Garçons Play Large Emblem Low Top Canvas Sneakers, $165: With sneakers sliding back into style, canvas kicks are perfectly en vogue for the season. Try bringing the trend from the catwalk to the campground, and stepping out in this playful black, white and red pair. These sneakers feature thick rubber soles, a whimsical red Comme des Garçons pattern and striking white laces.

5) Free People ‘Long Island’ Stripe Hooded Cardigan, $218: Although the sweltering heat in the city may indicate otherwise, temperatures up north always dip slightly as the sun sets. We are liking this white and grey striped cotton cardigan, which makes a splash with its shawl collar and long, loose silhouette.
