4 Stylish Outfit Ideas for Outdoor Activities
The weekend is a great opportunity to take a break from work and enjoy nature. We turned to renowned stylist Sergey Ganzin to share a selection of fashionable looks that will provide both comfort and aesthetic pleasure. We also spoke with Ivan Shakhin, Deputy CEO of the German shoe brand Jana shoes, who shared the best footwear for each of the suggested looks to ensure maximum comfort.

Look 1: Total Denim Look
A style built entirely on denim is still on trend and looks lively. The light gray sweater and shoes create a nice contrast, effectively breaking up the denim ensemble. If you’re craving the strength and warmth of spring in February, this is definitely the look for you!
Stylist tip: To add dynamism to your look, choose leather or metal accessories—for example, wide belts or a minimalist watch. This will emphasize your individuality and make the look more complete.
Footwear recommendation: Ivan Shahin recommends comfortable sneakers or trainers with a cushioned sole, which will not only complete the look but also provide support during long walks.
Look 2: Warm Terracotta
This warm outfit is a great choice for a weekend in the countryside: long walks through a snowy forest and cozying up with a cup of hot cocoa will be even more enjoyable.
Uncomfortable shoes can easily ruin a walk. Avoid flat soles—they can put undue stress on the arch of your foot during long walks and if you’re carrying excess weight.
Stylist tip: Layer warm, breathable fabrics to regulate your body temperature and stay comfortable even in sudden weather changes.
Footwear: Ivan recommends insulated boots with good soles and water-resistant properties to keep your feet warm and reliably protected from snow and moisture.
Look 3: Light Casual
Minimalism and simplicity are the key features of this look. A pale brown parka pairs perfectly with an oversized t-shirt, skinny jeans, lace-up boots, a roomy basic bag, and a desire to head to the mountains for a vacation!
Practical tip: Choose a parka with functional details like a hood, interior pockets, and adjustable cuffs to adapt to different weather conditions.
Footwear: According to Ivan, boots with ankle support and a durable sole are the best option, perfect for urban environments and light hiking.
Look 4: Elegant Total Black
This outfit is versatile and sophisticated at the same time. It’s perfect not only for walking the pet, but also for meeting friends or romantic dates.
The secret to a stylish look: Use accessories with bright accents, like a scarf or an unusually shaped bag, to add a fresh touch to a monochrome palette.
Shoes from Jana Shoes: Ivan recommends classic ankle boots with a sturdy heel or trendy loafers with a soft insole, which will accentuate your elegance and keep you comfortable all day long.
And remember, the most important thing in any look is your comfort and confidence. The right choice of clothes and shoes will allow you to fully enjoy your outdoor recreation!
Accessories that will complete your look and make it complete
Don’t forget about minimalist jewelry: thin bracelets, rings, and chains made of silver or gold will create a neat and modern look without unnecessary clutter. Fabric scarves or lightweight shawls add a bright accent and can be worn either on the head or around the neck.
Technical accessories are also useful for a comfortable outdoor experience – a functional watch with a sporty design will add practicality to your look. Light cotton scarves will protect you from the wind in the evening, and if you’re planning an evening stroll, pack soft socks or ballet flats to change into for comfort and style.
