Outdoor clothing for the outdoor buff
Common sense tells that we cannot wear outdoors what we wear indoors. Outdoor clothing is always different from what we wear at home and that is for a reason.
When one is outdoors, one has to deal with the weather, the environment and the purpose for which one is outdoors. Outdoor gear has to be selected with these things in mind and much else too.
When one speaks about outdoor clothing, it usually has to do with open spaces, sports, hiking, skiing and other winter sports or even summer holidays at the beach. Thus outdoor gear encompasses the whole cross section of all that we need during activity that is outside the home. In fact, even going to work as to the office or factory also requires appropriate outdoor clothing. Hence one can say that broadly outdoor clothing can be classified as formal outdoor clothing and casual outdoor clothing.
Formal Outdoor Clothing
Formal Outdoor Clothing consists of formal suit and shirt for men with other formal outdoor gear such as tie, belt, shoes, socks, hat, cravat or bow tie, overcoat etc. These are not clothes that men wear at home hence are termed as formal outdoor gear. Most of the things that make this outdoor gear are worn by men to work in a formal environment or formal occasions such as weddings, funerals or balls and formal parties. All the things that make the formal outdoor gear can be bought from stores, malls and fashion boutiques. Outdoor clothing can be bought ready-made or even custom-made if you so wish. The cost of outdoor clothing also depends upon the quality and brand and hence a huge variety is available. Other formal outdoor gear including shoes and hats are also available in a large variety and price range.
Informal Outdoor Gear
Informal Outdoor Gear is what one wears outdoors to go to informal places like the market or mall or for a walk in a park or to the gym or even to a friend’s place or the movies. The list is almost unending and the uses varied and diverse. Sportswear is another important outdoor clothing category that is very popular and also very diverse. For sportsmen and women Sportswear is like work clothes for the common man. For a baseball player, the baseball gear will be formal outdoor gear to be worn during an official match, while for a casual jogger, his track suit and running shoes will be informal outdoor gear that he wears for his morning jog.
Casual outdoor wear for young people these days is a pair of jeans, tee shirts and sneakers. You will find most teenagers and young adults donning this informal outdoor gear that is most popular all round the world without barriers to country, creed or religion.
