Summer Clothes Built for the Mountains, Designed for Everyday Life

From alpine hikes to slow mornings in town, the right summer clothes strike a balance between comfort, performance, and timeless style.

Whether you're traveling light or packing for a long trip, it all comes down to versatile pieces that feel as good as they function. Our summer collection blends breathable fabrics, easy layers, and thoughtful design details – for whatever your day (or destination) looks like.

Summer Clothes: Comfort, Craft, and a Life Outdoors

Summer isn’t just about action. It’s about moving through days with ease – from warm trailheads to cool café patios – without changing your gear. That’s why our approach to summer clothes is rooted in balance: packing light, layering smart, and choosing pieces that work across settings.

Lightweight Layers That Go the Distance

Even in warm weather, a good kit starts with layers. A breathable merino tee or a lightweight cotton shirt keeps you cool during the day and pairs easily with a fleece or overshirt when the temperature drops. These aren’t just technical pieces – they’re timeless staples designed to work hard without looking like it.

Everyday Pieces With Alpine DNA

Not everything needs taped seams and storm hoods to go the distance. Our corduroy shirts, organic cotton tees, and clean-cut shorts are built for warm-weather days and off-grid evenings alike. With refined fits and natural materials, these pieces wear just as well in a mountain hut as they do on city streets.

Shorts and Pants That Move With You

Freedom of movement is essential – so is comfort. Our summer-ready bottoms offer both, with stretch materials, articulated cuts, and soft, breathable fabrics. Whether you're hiking up switchbacks or stretching out at the airport gate, these are the pieces that stay with you.

Materials for Effortless Summer Days

Whether you're packing for a weekend escape or a month on the move, your summer clothes should do more—with less. Each fabric in our collection is chosen to deliver comfort, performance, and lasting wear, wherever the season takes you.

• Merino wool: Naturally odor-resistant, breathable, and ideal for repeated wear.
• Organic cotton: Durable, soft, and built for everyday ease.
• Fleece: Lightweight warmth that layers easily and packs down small.
• Recycled synthetics: Quick-drying and resilient for active days and changing conditions.

Every piece in our summer lineup is made to move with you – designed to be worn, re-worn, and trusted again and again.

Your Summer Clothes Packing List

Inspired by time on the road and in the mountains, here’s a packing list that covers all bases — the Elevenate way:

• 2–3 lightweight tees (merino or cotton)
• 1 breathable overshirt or long sleeve
• 1 midlayer (fleece or light insulated jacket)
• 1 weather-resistant shell for wind or summer rain
• 1 pair of stretch shorts
• 1 relaxed-fit pant
• 1 casual shirt (corduroy or cotton)
• 1 cap to top it off

Each piece is built to mix, match, and layer depending on the day — so you’re ready for sun, wind, or whatever else summer throws your way.
