To the extent that I love trail mix, I’ve always been the avid hiker-camper-type. By all other barometers, though, I’m more of your average bear: The great outdoors and I have a perfectly pleasant relationship, but you won’t find me trekking down the Grand Canyon anytime soon.
You may, however, catch me at my local Outdoor Voices store. The purveyor—known for svelte sweatpants, workout dresses, and, of course, those color-block leggings—launched an entirely new line this month. Dubbed “Camp OV,” the collection is an ode to the outdoors, inspired by the hiatus we’ve all taken over the past year.
True to its name, Camp OV is brimming with clothes you’d want to pack for a tent-centric trip: fuss-free, breezy basics (that’ll look cute in photos, too). On a more nebulous note, Camp OV feels vaguely reminiscent of summer camp attire from the early aughts; perhaps it’s the interplay of wavy, playful motifs and khaki.
Even if you, like I, have more brunch al fresco plans than trips to traverse the natural landscape in your future, this collection is still worth perusing. Plus, as far as I’m concerned, anything we do beyond our singular abodes this summer is its own kind of outdoor adventure. Below, the tees, hats, and skorts you’ll want to live in this summer.
Shop Outdoor Voices’ New Camp OV Collection
Rectrek Skort — $78.00
With six pockets, this skort single-handedly proves that practicality and style can coexist. The brand’s signature TerraStretch fabric means this skort is comfy, too. The only potential pain point? Choosing from the three equally-pretty color variations offered.
The Exercise Dress — $100.00
The beloved workout dress is back in two new hues. Consider the Clementine shade if your closet needs a splash of sunshine. The other option, Tea Tree Floral, has a more subdued energy. But, as the first patterned version of this dress, it’s an exciting departure from prior renditions.
Everyday Shortsleeve — $38.00
In the market for a swingy, effortlessly cool t-shirt? The aptly-named “everyday short sleeve” cotton tee, an OV staple, now comes in two additional colors: Tea Tree and Sierra. As earthy neutrals, these pieces should pair with plenty of pieces you already own.
Outdoors Sweatshirt — $88.00
It’s easy to forget all about sweatshirts in the summer—that is, until you’re shivering over your s’mores at sundown. This groovy-looking garment is just the right amount of cozy. Plus, it works with virtually any outfit you already happen to be wearing.
Rectrek Pant — $98.00
Functional, yet adorable. OV’s most versatile pant so far is their Rectrek joggers. Relaxed fit and slightly cropped at the ankle. Made in durable, elements-resistant TerraStretch fabric for comfort and mobility.
