Crisp, chilly days are right around the corner, and there is no better way to celebrate than hiking into the wild blue yonder with some fashion-forward friends. For many, the thought of roughing it and sharing the great outdoors with wild animals may set the heart into a panic, but that was before Chanel began making boots you can wear for hiking. It seems this fall that all designers are embracing the wild side and layering on outdoorsy trends such as beautiful fur vests, plaid patterns, shearling coats, suede, fringe and all the cashmere you can possibly imagine. The line between casual and formal has been blurred. Oversized sweaters and down-filled jackets will keep you warm and beautiful whether climbing mountains or strolling in Sundance Square.
