Should You Wear Expensive Jewelry When Hiking?

1375991_braceletsHave you ever gone to an event and seen someone completely out of place?  Perhaps you went to a racing event and someone in the stands was wearing a tuxedo.  Maybe you have been in a fast food restaurant when someone goes through the drive through in a stretch limousine.  Or, perhaps you have been in a fancy restaurant when someone walks in wearing shorts and a ripped t-shirt.  Whatever the circumstance, we have all been there and have all done our best not to laugh.  Dressing for an occasion isn’t all that tough and not doing so can make you the butt of a joke.  So, if you are considering wearing expensive jewelry on a hike, do yourself a favor and think again.

 

Overdressed

 

Nothing says love like jewels but that doesn’t mean that you need to be decked out and ready for a party every moment of the day.  When you are considering whether or not to wear jewelry, you really need to make sure that you are dressing for the occasion rather than dressing to impress.  If you are planning a hiking trip, for instance, expensive jewelry really isn’t needed.  The fact is that you aren’t going to be impressing anyone with your jewelry choices.  Instead, you should be much more concerned with making sure you have adequate supplies to get you through the hike.  Wearing expensive jewelry while hiking makes you seem out of place and rather than getting the reaction you want, you will probably hear quite a few chuckles.

 

Expensive Jewelry is Expensive

 

If you ignore, for a moment, the fact that you will look completely out of place if you are hiking with expensive jewelry, you can consider the fact that hiking is an athletic, strenuous activity that can lead you through plenty of different terrains and really can leave things up to fate.  For instance, you never know when you may take a wrong step and come crashing down.  Well, expensive jewelry is expensive and it’s probably a safe bet that you don’t want to lose your precious jewels in the middle of a forest where only the wildlife can appreciate it.

 

You shouldn’t wear expensive jewelry hiking for plenty of reasons.  Fashion isn’t worth losing your jewelry and it is out of place on a hike.  Instead of grabbing that necklace, grab a bottle of water. It’ll definitely come in handier.
