do you pack one nice outfit even for hiking trips or is that delusional

Every time I say 'this trip is just boots and fleece' and then somehow there's a dinner reservation or a random jazz bar or somebody wants a photo that isn't me dressed like a damp blueberry. Trying to settle this before I overpack again.

Layers can fake nice if the sweater isn't too technical-looking.

I bring black jeans and a shirt that doesn't scream trail dust. Covers most situations.

One outfit, yes. Not NICE nice. Just one 'I am a human person in a town' outfit.

Depends on the trip. Patagonia? no. Alps with cute villages? yes.

You're not delusional, just repeatedly betrayed by restaurants with mood lighting.
