Wilderness Wanderers: 7 Outdoorsy Styles for Autumn

Joe Browns clothes are all about freedom and adventure—just like the men who wear them. 

With henley tops, borg fleeces, and cargos, our autumn collection is designed to take you (and your style) to new heights. From hiking tough trails to camping under the stars, here are 7 outdoorsy styles for autumn. 

If you’re heading to the highlands for your autumn adventure, getting lost amongst windy mountaintops and misty moors, your outdoorsy look should be all about the layers.

Start off with a long-sleeved henley top for the baselayer. Next, add a cord jacket, quilted for extra warmth and comfort – we’d recommend packing a waterproof too, in case the weather takes a turn! To complete your highland look, hiking boots are a must! 

Leather boots are sturdy and hard-wearing, so you’ll have no problem hiking uphill or over muddy terrain.

Your inner wanderer might be calling you to the sea, where you can find freedom climbing over rocky clifftops and in the hidden coves of the coast.

This kind of expedition requires an outdoor outfit that can endure the salt and sea air, along with a bit of wind and rain. Leather jackets are a great option for dry, brisk coastal walks as they’re tough and wind-resistant – plus the harsher conditions can age your jacket, giving it character and creating a lived-in look.

For blustery and rainy conditions, bring a waxed hooded jacket. 

Pair your jacket with cargo trousers, which will carry you through the wilderness without a scrape. Add some easy-wear trainers, and a beanie for warmth.

There’s something about camping that’s incredibly liberating, especially when done the old-fashioned way; with tents and sleeping bags, portable stoves and campfires. So, if camping is your idea of the ultimate adventure, you’ll want your outfit to be just as freeing.

For your baselayer, a graphic tee is a fun and practical choice. It’s the perfect way to express your personality – and to get the conversation started if you’re travelling with new people. T-shirts are so easy to wear as you can wear them as they are on sunny days and layer them up on chilly nights.

Knitwear is essential for a good camping outfit. Choose a jumper or cardigan that’s chunky enough to keep you warm and light enough to carry in your backpack.

If you’re celebrating the start of a new season with an uplifting woodland walk, you’ll need a look that will allow you to journey through forests in comfort and style.

An effortlessly cool way to dress for an autumn stroll is by throwing on your denim jeans, along with a short-sleeved henley or t-shirt. Layer up with a cosy borg fleece, and accessorise with a scarf.

Choose shades of brown, orange, red, and blue, for an outdoorsy look that fits the palette of the season.

If you’re taking your board to the snowy mountain tops this season, there’s one rule to remember: the adventure doesn’t stop when you’re off the slopes. 

You’re going to need an outfit that’s relaxing and warm, so you can wind down after a day of thrillseeking fun. Start with a long-sleeved top that’s casual enough for lounging in the chalet and warm enough to beat the chill when you step back out into the cold. 

From there, knitwear is your best friend. A chunky cable knit or a wool funnel will keep you cosy whilst bringing a rugged charm to your outdoorsy look.

Pair it with dark jeans or cargos and you’re ready for anything, from strolling snowy villages to sitting fireside with friends.

Your venture into the great outdoors doesn’t have to be about the adrenaline rush. Nature escapes, from the country to the lakeside, can feel just as rejuvenating as a mountain climb.

Your outfit should be mellow to match the vibe of this laid-back trip. A hoodie or sweatshirt is ideal for a lakeside look as it’s cool and casual, but it’ll keep you comfy all day long. Wear your jumper with denim jeans or corduroy trousers, and top your outfit off with a quilted coat.

No matter where the spirit of autumn takes you, it’s always a good idea to bring an outfit that can take you from the wilderness to the beer garden.

A polo shirt is the perfect day-to-night piece. It’s great as a baselayer during the day, and easy to dress up in the evening. A relaxed blazer, either corduroy or wool, will bring sophistication to the look, but it’s still suitable for the great outdoors.

Add a pair of dark jeans and some leather boots, and you’ve got a look that’s as stylish as it is practical.
