Elevate Your Outdoor Experience with the Best Camp Chairs of 2024
From fishnet dresses to boyfriend blush, the top summer trends are reviving our wardrobes and vanities this season. So why would we neglect our outdoor gear? Like the standout runway fashion that is now touching down on the streets, the 2024 camp chair trends will imbue your outdoor adventures with a fresh reset.
From New York to Paris, outdoor gear has played a key role in themes of countless recent collections. Case in point: In February in Manhattan, Sunnyfield’s camping director’s chair was a “nod to the concept of making the everyday sublime—even a trip to the campsite,” the show notes said. The momentum of statement outdoor gear remained strong through Paris Fashion Week. With their Fall/Winter 2024 collections, both young designer brands such as Marchway and heritage houses like Coleman gave us archetypes of adventurers who embraced outdoor comfort with abandon, asking: Why not? Why not bring a luxurious camp chair to the beach, à la Kelty? Or set up a highback chair at your favorite fishing spot, as displayed by GCI Outdoor?
The teeming supply of camp chairs has magnified the transformative power of outdoor gear in an adventure and made the case for enjoying it every day. From lightweight highback chairs primed for backpacking to plush double seats that embrace a cozy campfire spirit, here are the seven top camp chair trends to enjoy this summer.

2. Highback Heaven
If the runways are any indication, highback chairs will take on new meaning come winter. After all, why search for a new beau when you can wear all the company you need on your back? Until then, this summer’s arm-baring wardrobe staples leave plenty of real estate to stack highback chairs as you please. Take a cue from Marchway and complement a sheer pencil skirt with a translucent stack, or embrace Isabel Marant’s rustic flavor of ’80s maximalism, with a mix of wooden domed bracelets and braided metal bangles.

3. Zero Gravity Comfort
Tory Burch wasn’t the only designer to bring the farm to the catwalk this season. At Balmain, Olivier Rousteing’s cast of models wore full, fruity earrings, featuring watermelon slices, strawberries, and bundles of grapes—a wink to his upbringing in Bordeaux. From demure pendants to 18k gold banana bunches, these juicy novelties prove the fruit stand is not the only place to get ripe produce this season. Whether you’re looking to add a slice of something new to a charm bracelet or want to infuse your ensembles with a citrus twist, these jewels demonstrate that some treats are meant to be worn, not just packed in the picnic basket.
Why You'll Love It: This chair offers a nearly flat reclining position for ultimate relaxation and stability, with a sturdy frame that supports up to 300 lbs. Ideal for campers looking for a durable and comfortable chair that offers both relaxation and stability.

4. Rocking Comfort
While drop earrings reached new lengths this season, in another camp, a standout class of round button earrings reflected a lexicon of 20th-century artistic movements, ranging from art deco to midcentury modern. At Carolina Herrera, Wes Gordon’s bubble-shaped clips bore resemblance to those worn by the likes of Jackie Onassis. In homage to another icon, Elsa Schiaparelli’s admiration for Suzanne Belperron seemed to have been rekindled in Daniel Roseberry’s Fall/Winter ’24 collection for the house. His large shell earrings felt like a revival of Belperron’s bold, irreverent application of sculpture to jewelry. Olivier Rousteing likewise adopted shell earrings, and we love to see it—anything that allows you to feel more like a mermaid this time of year is surely a good idea, even if you can’t hear the ocean when you wear them! From classic domed shapes to options with a marine twist, our favorite button earrings are here.
Why You'll Love It: This chair features a smooth rocking motion with pistons on the back legs, making it comfortable for users of various heights. Great for campers who want a comfortable rocking chair with added functionality like armrests with a cup holder and phone pocket.

5. Double Delight
A jewelry box is an adult’s play chest—especially if it includes toy cars. This fall, yours could too, if you manage to snag a pair of the yellow taxicab earrings that showed at Coach. And even as we wait for those to hit the market, the jewelry world has plenty to offer. Just last month, Nadine Ghosn—mastermind behind the “Bling Mac” and “YOUtensils”—released an exciting collaboration with Crayola that features a special run of crayon-shaped rings and bracelets in multiple colors. This revival of a childhood staple rekindles a sense of nostalgia and brings a spirit of play and imagination to the jewelry box. And what better time to be reminded of childlike wonder than long summer days that leave space to dream? From an emerald-encrusted slinky bracelet to a robot pendant necklace, we handpicked a few pieces that evoke that youthful spirit.
Why You'll Love It: Crafted to provide the ultimate outdoor lounging experience with high-quality materials and a generous seating space for two people. Ideal for couples, friends, or pet owners who want a comfortable and spacious seating option for outdoor activities.
