Clothes for Long Distance Hiking

I've never had much interest in fashion so hiking seems like a good fit. Wearing the same clothes everyday for days, weeks, months...
You really don't need much more than this. I have a clothing philosophy: Hike in layers...when you get hot, take off a layer, when you get cold hike faster. If something gets wet, lay it in the sun to dry. Don't carry any cotton except one cotton bandana. Use it to dry everything and hang it on the outside of your pack to dry. Wash your socks everyday...they keep your feet happy. Things get dirty and smelly...just keep hiking! Wash all your clothes in town and wear your rain pants and jacket while they are washing.
