A gentleman's guide to glamping: its history, sartorial pedigree, and a practical modern day style guide to the African Glamping Safari
Glamping? I was assuredly as stunned as you when I first came upon this term. What is it? It certainly is not galloping, as spell check so gracefully forced upon me EVERY single time I jotted it down. On the contrary, it is essentially a luxury camping excursion that speaks to a more stylish gentlemanly aesthetic while affording its patrons the comfort of not only enjoying all that the great outdoors has to offer, but in also partaking in the pleasurable wealth of amenities, services, and safety that would otherwise only be found in respectable hotel establishments. Principally, the resulting trip is one that is identical in adventure to that of a standard camping outing (nature hikes, safaris, canoeing, and so on and so forth), but with the accentuation of a stress free environment and a —very welcoming — elevated sartorial standard. Think all-inclusive vacations, but without the tourists or the gaudy structures and itineraries; add in a more sophisticated and purposefully curated wardrobe; and then come full circle by closing it out with an added spritz of heightened privacy and relaxation — that encapsulates the glamping experience.
