Yes, Your Water Bottle Is The Season’s Hottest Accessory

If you were under the impression that a water bottle operates as a mere vessel for fluid, let us immediately dispel that notion. Yes, a water bottle does indeed hold water. But it's also a status symbol, a wellness totem, a canvas for many a national park sticker (We get it! You hike!). It's a commitment to sustainability, a promotional opportunity, and best of all, in 2021, a trending accessory.

That's right: Fall's go-to outfit garnish is none other than your trusty Camelbak. As athletic garb becomes increasingly hipper — both as an emblem of street style and a high fashion aesthetic — it makes sense that the re-usable water bottle, too, would have its moment. And unlike a micro bag or a velour headband, it offers plenty of utility in addition to its cultural appeal.

Now, as temperatures dip, and outdoorsy quarter-zips make their triumphant return to prominence, we're rounding up our favorite sartorial trends for fall — and the water bottles that serve as their essential accompaniments.

The Outdoor Pajama Set + Chute® Mag Water Bottle


Sure, quarantine fashion was rather sweatsuit-centric, but summer 2021 served as substantial proof that formal loungewear is here to stay. So this fall, in lieu of your trusty nap dress, try out a full-on matching pajama set — then toss in Camelbak's Chute® Mag Vacuum water bottle. Made of insulated steel with a leak-proof top, the thing is plenty efficient and it'll add a pop of warm color to any white, frilly, bed-friendly 'fit.

The Peter Pan Collar + Carry Cap Water Bottle



Looking for an easy way to add some nuance to your classic Oxford shirt get-up? Try an ever-so-slight departure from your standard structured top and opt for something with more vintage charm: the Peter Pan collar. Then, balance out the delicate shape of your neckline with a heftier, industrial bottle like this 64 oz. stainless steel number in a charming, muted green that harks back to...Peter Pan himself.

The Windbreaker + Eddy® Water Bottle


In the realm of street style, we're expecting the windbreaker to eclipse the classic, sporty Calvin Klein set this fall. Unlike a pajama set, the thing lends itself well to climates of all kinds, and with a maximalist, '80s edge, it taps into a whole new arena of athletic garb. Pair your windbreaker with a matching set of shorts, then add in the navy "eddy" bottle with a two-finger carrying loop. The whole look will appear as relentlessly outdoorsy as it does feminine.

The Bucket Hat + Chute Mag® Water Bottle




Fishing has yet to earn its title as the premiere leisure activity amongst Gen Zers — but nonetheless, the bucket hat, originally sported proudly by many a fly fisherman — is an objectively hot summer accessory. Rock a modern gingham iteration like this one along with your traffic cone orange Chute Mag Camelbak, and frolic on over to your local bait and tackle shop.

The Slip Dress + MultiBev Bottle



Certainly this one comes as no surprise. No matter how the moment's trending garments rotate, it would seem that your standard slip dress always holds forth. So, when you've got nothing to wear, grab your tried-and-true reformed nightgown and a white Multi-Bev bottle in an equally classic silhouette, and call it a day. Better yet, the 2-in-1 vessel serves as both a water bottle and a detachable travel cup...so it's ideal for an all-occasion, day-to-night situation.

The Fruit Print + Eddy® Water Bottle



As otherwise textiles come and go, an affection for bright colors and seasonal produce endures, so this season, snag a Camelbak in a shade of farmer's market strawberry red, don your favored berry blouse, and make the most of the dregs of this month's picnic weather.

The Quilted Jacket + Carry Cap Water Bottle



The latest in chic "grandma-core" is undoubtably a version of outerwear that appears to have been stitched together by a kindly senior citizen. Go a little harder and take your power-clash to the next level with a carry-cap Camelbak bottle in a thoroughly unsubtle (un-matchable) shade of teal.

The Sweater Vest + Chute® Mag Water Bottle



Skewing both "golf" and "art history professor" in aesthetic, the sweater vest is surely already planted firmly in your Instagram feed. But if you're looking to turn things up a notch on the classic piece, go full on "country club academia" with a good burgundy wine-hued insulated bottle from Camelbak.
