Unitdot Bamboo sunglasses
No camping outfit is complete without the perfect pair of sunnies. These bamboo sunglasses by Unitdot are not only stylish, but generous.

Nobis Headwear
When camping, one of the biggest bugbears is your hair. Once that first day has gone, trying to keep it tame and fit for public eyes can be a battle. The perfect way to avoid this is by sporting stylish hat. This ‘Magda’ by Nobis is perfect. It’s pale shade guarantees it will go with anything, and the stylish fedora shape ticks all the trend boxes. Priced at $75 from nobis.ca

Renewal by Urban Outfitters
A great way to be eco is to reuse and recycle, and this includes your clothes. These great denim shorts from Renewal at Urban Outfitters are made from old Levi 501′s.

So versatile, they’ll reduce your camping packing dramatically. Available from urbanoutfitters.co.uk at £28.
Jackpot
It’s that time of year where floral is in, and this mac by jackpot is the perfect way to make a bold statement. It’s lightweight and stylish but will also keep out the rain and chilly weather. Brighten up a dull outfit, or if you’ve totally ran out of clothes why not wear it on it’s own?! Priced at £76. A camping staple has to be the perfect scarf, like this coral number. Wear as a headscarf, to keep out the chill, or decorate your bag. At £32 it will never leave your side. Both available from fashion-conscience.com
