But then I read you're *supposed* to wear Chinese jade to stop it from going cloudy (the heat keeps it 'alive'). Though many years passed between my mother-in-law passing &amp; my wedding, so the jade is already 'dead', I still wear it anyway to keep the memory 'alive', at least </p> <p>@Sharan Thanks! </p> <p>@rachylou Just because my trousers are comfy, doesn't mean they need to *look* like it to others, iykwim </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253673 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 04:19:11 +0000 rachylou 2253673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah! Love the monkey pic and your hair up like that!</p> <p>That’s true about my pull-ons having details making them look structured… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253669 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 04:01:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2253669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit, and so fun to see your hiking area!

Should have probably taken it off for the hike but her hands were evidently much daintier than mine, so it stays on </p> <p>@Jaime Thanks, it's a practical combo for this heat &amp; humidity (with which I'm sure you're well acquainted already!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253653 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 02:33:08 +0000 Jaime 2253653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit looks great, and I share the love for your hair/hairband combination!

I like your outfit too. Jade included. I’m obsessed with jade bangles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253647 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 01:42:00 +0000 Jules 2253647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look, a bit 80s inspired with the hair and headband! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253646 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 01:16:15 +0000 Zaeobi 2253646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@SF<br /> Interesting - now that you mention it, I think I've heard this usage before but I've just never used it myself. Thanks, you learn something new every day </p> <p>@suntiger @slimcat @JAileen @Suz @RobinF @Kate<br /> The mum was hollering at this little one from the next tree over - I like to think she was telling them to hurry up eating, oh mum </p> <p>Monkeys can be respectful when they want to be (if you approach slowly, they'll politely move if they're blocking your path), but they can also be little terrors! I know someone whose coffee can was swiped on a morning hike, &amp; I've eaten at an outdoor cafe with a 'monkey alarm' (presumably because they got tired of dealing with that situation), lol </p> <p>@LaPed @Joy @Kate<br /> Thank you - for some reason, olive doesn't really 'sing' to me (even though it's supposed to be one of 'my' colours), but it works for hiking Coral &amp; tan sounds like such an energetic &amp; summery colour combination! </p> <p>@bella @SF @LaPed @Angie @JAileen @Suz @RobinF @Nikki<br /> Thank you for the hair compliments - it's my go-to look for the summer! I don't like high ponytails because the hair still gets on my neck, &amp; the knot starts to hurt after a while, so I just clip it up instead - no headband/ scarf added when I'm at work, though. </p> <p>I like to keep my look *somewhat* smart even when hiking, just because they often take a few hours (at least) so you usually end up eating at some small restaurant or going straight into town to catch public transport. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253629 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 21:51:44 +0000 Anonymous 2253629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coral and olive green is a super combination!

Looks great! I know what you mean about not having dedicated hiking clothes, I don't either, but I am not a serious hiker so I am sure that makes a difference. Love your hiking path too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253580 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 16:58:45 +0000 Suz 2253580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous.

The color make me happy and I have a coral sweater on my list for brightening winter looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253566 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 14:47:48 +0000 LaPed 2253566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Incredible landscape! Love this colour palette on you, and I'm really digging the hair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253561 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 13:48:11 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2253561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your reply made we wonder if I was using that word right, so I looked it up &amp; got something so bang on the nose that I’m not even going to try to summarize.<br /> The soft coral top, to my eye, contrasts with the army green utility pants in a way that makes it all the more attractive. Otoh, I think it works with your coloring for the opposite reason—all warm tones and your beautiful curls are soft like the folds (?) of the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253557 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 13:00:47 +0000 bella 2253557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable little monkey! I like your hiking scene.&nbsp;<br />I like your pants, too but I came here to specifically comment on your hair. Love! It looks so pretty and perfect for warm and humid weather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253552 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 12:38:59 +0000 Anonymous 2253552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww monkey! Love the hiking path! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253545 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 11:06:44 +0000 Zaeobi 2253545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Aurore<br /> Thank you - they're actually just regular cargo joggers, lol Nothing from my hiking capsule is actually made for hiking, since I find I can't stand the feel &amp; sound of 'technical' clothing - I tried on some 'nylon' trousers the other day &amp; couldn't get them off fast enough, since the windbreaker 'swish swish' sound drove me crazy!<br /> Thanks - DH takes some good photos (when he's relaxed enough to take his time)! You can still see some high-rise buildings in the very back but hey, that's HK for you... </p> <p>@SF<br /> The weather climbed from 8C last week to 24C today - I'd say we have about 2 weeks of this good hiking weather left, until it's too humid to do anything outside lol...<br /> Thanks - I haven't kept any coral in my main wardrobe because it's not my 'best' colour, but it still brings me joy outside What do you mean by 'foil' in this context though, sorry? I keep thinking of Scooby-Doo, &amp; those 'meddling' kids 'foiling' the villains' plans, lol...<br /> The hikes in the UK are generally more wild too (a set path is more expected from a 'woodland walk' over there lol). People have died from not having the right equipment when hiking in the UK though (e.g. wearing trainers over icy rocks/ waterfalls) so I suppose paved paths are a matter of safety? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253541 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 10:29:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2253541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a gorgeous day and setting. Your outfit is just right too. That peachy coral color is so good on you, and the pants are a good foil for it. </p> <p>German hiking paths are also much more groomed than the US’s. We used to crash through the woods where I grew up; can’t quite picture that here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253538 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 09:30:07 +0000 Aurore 2253538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are very nice hiking pants! Their shape fits you well, and you look gorgeous in olive and coral.<br />Side note : the landscape on #1 is awesome. Oh my, that vegetation, the mountains...! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-hiking#post-2253527 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 06:38:19 +0000 Zaeobi 2253527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's post made me realise that, whilst I almost exclusively deal in pullon/ elasticated trousers, my favourite type of these have some detailing to make them *appear* more structured than they are. </p> <p>I realised most of the trousers in my hiking capsule have belt loops, button fly zip closures &amp; pockets - I even wore this particular pair with a belt! (Note to self to punch more holes in all my belts, lol...) </p> <p>* The connotation of 'hiking' is slightly different in HK than elsewhere - paths here are fairly predetermined with concrete &amp; wooden steps (see photo #6), hence why simple shoes are ok (though I have some lightweight boots for winter hikes too). The biggest hazard on this trail was probably just monkey poop (adorable culprit in #5), lol... </p>
