Granola Girl Outfits for Everyday Adventure
Granola girl outfits are fun and cute, but for me comfort always comes first. If I’m outside, camping, road tripping, or just hanging around camp, I want to feel relaxed and unrestricted. The aesthetic is a bonus, not the goal.
These are the outfits I actually reach for when we’re camping or spending long days outside. Think soft layers, oversized pieces, breathable fabrics, and shoes I can walk around in for hours. They might look effortlessly outdoorsy, but the real priority is being comfortable enough to enjoy where I am.
And when I’m not hanging out at camp or in the car, I’m usually on trail and you can find my favorite trail tested and endorsed hiking gear and apparel below. Heading out when it’s cooler? See my women’s hiking outfits for fall, winter, and spring.
What Is a Granola Girl?
A granola girl is someone whose style, and usually lifestyle, is inspired by the outdoors. Think hiking, camping, road trips, and earthy, comfortable clothes like cargo pants, fleece, flannels, Birkenstocks, Blundstones, and bandanas. It’s less about following a trend and more about wearing pieces that are practical, comfortable, and made for being outside. For me, it’s just how I dress when I’m camping or exploring.
Lauren's Granola Girl Clothes
These are my go-to pants for camping and road trips. They’re stretchy enough for sitting around camp or scrambling on rocks, and the cargo pockets are perfect for my phone, chapstick, and snacks.
A soft, relaxed tee that I throw on for slow mornings at camp. It looks cute tucked into my cargo pants or overall shorts and is comfortable enough to wear all day.
My everyday sunglasses for road trips and days outside. The round metal frames give that classic, slightly vintage look that goes with almost every granola girl outfit.
Rompers are the easiest outfit for warm days because it’s one piece and you’re ready to go. This one is comfy for wandering around town or hanging out at camp.
My favorite camp shoes. After a long hike, slipping into Birkenstocks feels amazing, and the soft footbed makes them comfortable enough to wear all day.
When the weather cools down, I live in my Blundstones. They slip on easily, hold up to dirt and rain, and look just as good in town as they do at a campsite.
A bandana is the ultimate granola girl accessory. I use mine to keep my hair back, block the sun, or soak in cold water to cool off on hot days.
A simple, comfy tank for hot days and layering. I love pairing it with cargo pants or shorts and throwing a flannel or fleece over it when it gets chilly.
Overall shorts might be the most granola girl piece I own. They’re comfy, have plenty of pockets, and are perfect for warm-weather road trips and camping.
Lauren's Hiking Gear
We spend a lot of time on trail or at camp, so I value gear and apparel that is easy to move in, breathable, offers some sun protection, keeps me warm when needed, and holds up with lot of wear. I’m a big fan of the Salomon X Ultra low series of boots and have a regular pair and Gore-Tex pair. They also make a mid version too! During warmer months I like to hike in a tank (full blog post here) and will layer it with a short sleeve or sun hoodie depending on the weather. In colder climates I still like to wear a form fitting tank with long sleeve layers on top.
