A refined hiking outfit for Aspen trails: a sand-coloured field jacket, a shearling-soft fleece, a Polartec half-zip and a technical pack, all in earth tones.
What to Wear Hiking in Aspen: Luxe Trail Outfit, Boots to Beanie
What to wear hiking in Aspen
The best hiking outfit for Aspen is built from layers you can take off and carry. Here that starts with a Loro Piana Windmate Traveller field jacket in sand beige over a deep brown Canada Goose Simcoe wool-blend fleece. A black Moncler Grenoble Polartec half-zip sits closest to the skin, with ecru Falke stretch wool-blend leggings below. Mornings in the mountains start cold and warm up quickly, so every piece here should come off and fit in a pack.
Shoes, pack, sunglasses and beanie
The trail kit stays quiet and functional. On Cloudsoma Hike mesh sneakers in a pale grey are the hiking shoe, and the On Speed Pack ripstop backpack carries the layers you shed. District Vision Junya Racer sunglasses keep the sun out of your eyes at altitude, and a black Moncler Grenoble cable-knit beanie with a pom covers the cold start.
Layers you can carry
A field jacket is not a rain shell, so check the forecast and pack a waterproof layer if clouds build over the peaks. Sneakers like these suit maintained trails and day hikes, not scrambles or loose scree, where a stiffer boot is the better call. Wear the layers you can carry, and let the field jacket be the piece you are happy to be seen in at the trailhead and at lunch afterwards.
