“I wore Arizona Love sandals while hiking in the Swiss Alps and they were brilliant, so I’ve plumped for the boots this time. They’re lightweight, fully waterproof and have a touch of signature bandana: the perfect mix of practical and fashion-forward.”

“A lightweight, spacious backpack is a must-have on every hike. This ARKET style comes in chic black and deep khaki, plus it will also double as my travel tote for the plane.”

“I’m not really a shorts person, preferring to wear dresses instead. However, a hiking trip calls for practicality. I love this high-waisted cotton pair in versatile khaki.”

“I can’t go full Western without the perfect denim shirt. I’m really impressed by this style, which is a collaboration between La Redoute and Wrangler Denim.”

“I’ll be wearing this simple COS ribbed tank underneath denim and flannel shirts. Light layering pieces are essential for changing temperatures.”

“I have a collection of checked shirts by Isabel Marant; they’re always so soft and I love the pop of red. They can be teamed with warm separates over the Christmas period, too.” 

“A slim-fitting bootcut jean is a must for riding through the canyons. I’ll wear these with a simple tank top or a checked shirt.”

“I’m switching out my regular hoops for something beaded and handmade. Jessie Western also stocks some of the best Native American turquoise and silver jewellery.”

“Nights in the desert can get chilly so a warm cover-up is a must. This cropped jacket will also work back in London, with jeans or tailored herringbone trousers.”

“This cotton dress would look great with cowboy boots and a blanket coat while sitting round the campfire. Very Little House On The Prairie.”

“On early-morning and late-night hikes, I’ll be wrapping up in this cashmere blanket scarf. I can wear it around my winter coat back in London, too.” 

“A cap provides essential sun protection on long hikes and outdoor days. This durable, utilitarian style will work with everything in my suitcase.”
