The carefree days of Spring and summer are finally here, which means it's high time you cleared off your weekend schedule for a few days in the great outdoors. The warmer months ahead are a great time to hit the hiking trails, relax on the beach or just brush up on your climbing skills. If you're just hanging out at a campsite or relaxing on the beach, you'll need some comfortable, casual clothes for the occasion, and a versatile tunic dress definitely fits the bill for your days of relaxation.

The Lole Calm Tunic Dress is a great match for ladies with all body types because of its free-flowing, flattering feminine cut. The dress is made with a supersoft rib knit material, and the classic v-neck design is coupled with a drawstring closure for a fun and sassy look. This dress is also designed with raw-edge seams and a rib knit waistline that add a few extra curves in just the right places. A side-slit detailing around the hem provide a more relaxed fit, so you don't have to worry about snags and tears when you're doing some light hiking. You'll also find two large drop-in patch pockets in front; a convenient place to store chapstick, sunblock and other travel essentials.

The soft cotton spandex blend of stretch French Terry materials also make this a super-versatile piece for long trips. The dress dries easily, and you can even hand wash it with a quick soak when you're on the go. If you do have access to a washing machine on your trails, you can machine wash it cold and hang it dry to protect its shape. It's available in Moonlight (black), Watermelon (pink) and White. Get one in every color to round out the warm-season wardrobe!

The tunic dress is one of the season's must-haves, especially if you're hitting the camping trails or nature hikes this season. You can pair it with a pair of flats or beach sandals when you hit the boardwalk, and the loose fit of the Lole makes for a great swimsuit cover up for your all-day beach travels.

Whether you're heading out on a walking trail or running errands across the city this spring, do it in style with a chic and versatile trench coat. The classic trench coat continues to be one of spring's ultimate must-have accessories, a necessary transition piece between chilly winter days and the warm months ahead. The season's most coveted coats are designed in bright and bold colors and simple, classic styles that flatter your figure and give you just enough coverage to ward off chilly winds and the occasional rain shower. Easy to pack, clean and maintain, the trench works with cropped pants, jeans, skirts and even dresses.

The Patagonia Women's Negril Trench Coat is a stylish and sassy addition to your spring and summer wardrobe, the best way to enjoy cooler days and nights without bulking up with sweaters and extra layers. The double-breasted trench coat is designed with a slimming, fitted cut with stretch cotton for extra support and feminine shaping. Trench coats are a versatile jacket for almost any body shape, and even the loose and comfortable fitting can turn any basic outdoor ensemble into something a little more sharp and stylish.

Both the front and the back of the Patagonia Trench are designed with contoured seaming for the perfect fit; use the wide belt to emphasize your waistline and create an even more flattering effect. This coat also features hip pockets on the princess seams, printed binding and trim on the inside, and the coat falls right above the knee for maximum coverage. Plus, the high-quality materials allow you to machine wash and dry at home - no extra trips to the dry cleaners necessary. The wrinkle-free materials will make this coat a low-maintenance addition to your spring closet.

Get this one for casual weekend days, running errands after office hours or even as a versatile coverall for leisurely walks and hikes in the backcountry. The Patagonia trench coat is available in "Afterglow," an eye-catching burnt orange that looks great with jeans, black pants and other basics, and "Sesame," a light khaki color that works especially well with skirts, summer dresses and capris.
