So you’ve spent the last three months running in the woods, most of your friends are dead, and the zombies are hot on your trail. We get it. Fashion is probably not your top priority. It’s hard to focus on picking a stylish outfit when society has collapsed and you’re fending off attacks from mindless brain-eaters on the daily. That’s what we’re here for. 

When choosing an outfit for a zombie apocalypse, practicality is key. The days of stilettos and mini-skirts are behind you. If you want to be a savvy fashionista and survive, you’ll have to keep a few things in mind:

• Clothing options are limited. Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe aren’t exactly open for business anymore. You’ll have to stick with what you can loot in-between battles, so don’t get your heart set on a custom Gucci bag. Stick to basic, versatile pieces that you can find everywhere.

• Speaking of bags, the chunky tote is queen in the zombie apocalypse. A wristlet for your keys and makeup might have done the trick once upon a time, but now you need a bag big enough for all your possessions, food and some sort of weapon. All hail the mom bag!

• Just as it was before the apocalypse, layering is a girl’s best friend. While The Walking Dead and 28 Days Later might lead you to believe zombies only attack in mild, forested areas, an outbreak can actually happen anywhere. You’ll want to tailor your look to your specific locale, but you should be prepared to fight zombies in the hot sun and on cold, rainy nights. You may even need to break out your inner Jon Snow and fight some winter zombies! Layering is an easy way to survive the elements.

To assist with your end-of-the-world prep, here are three chic and practical outfits for surviving a zombie apocalypse (or, you know, a weekend camping trip with friends).
