Elevate Your Outdoor Style With This New West Elm X REI Collab

Thanks to COVID-19, this summer is shaping up to be a bit different than summers of yore, but getting outside and spending some time in nature is an easy way to generate a sense of comfort and normalcy during strange times. And the new collaboration by West Elm and REI is making it easier than ever to maximize outdoor summer fun in high style.
