I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been quite taken with the outdoor aesthetic. It’s sporty, fashionable, and functions well whether you’re an intrepid outdoor type or a city-dweller who revels in sartorial stolen valor (like me).

To find the place that’s perfected this look down to a science, look no further than Japan. They’ve got a gaggle of great brands who trade in high-performance textiles, forward-thinking design, and world-class construction to boot.

When you think about it, it makes sense that Japanese city-dwellers wanna break free from the hustle and bustle of their metropolitan lives to seek solace in the serene beauty of their nation’s natural wonders. Sure, Japan knows how to seamlessly blend nature and urban landscapes (I mean, have you seen the Meiji Shrine?), but let’s be real, nothing compares to being fully ensconced in the great outdoors. And, as an added bonus, you get to deck yourself out in some of the flyest fits while doing it. Win-win!

If you’ve ever wanted to embody the effortlessly chic je ne sais quoi of a Japanese trekker, this article will point you in the direction of brands that will serve you well. So lace up your favorite hiking boots, slip on your most tactical pullover, pack some precious cargo in your pants, and let’s get ready to take a trip down the proverbial trails of the Land of the Rising Sun.
