Gardening requires a lot of bending over, moving, lifting, walking, crawling. For all the muck you have to move through you need a good garden-friendly fashion wardrobe for your comfort and ease. I hate having my shirt crawl up and expose my skin to sunburn and neighbors. And I certainly don’t want to use uncomfortable shoes if I’m walking around in soil all day.

So we’ve put together a list of garden fashion apparel to make life a little bit easier and stylish for all that movement.

I love the idea of being a fashion forward farmer. Just watch for my runway garden fashion show in the New York Fashion Week. Just kidding.

Tops & Dresses

I love tunic style shirts and loose flowy dresses for garden-friendly fashion. They sometimes have pockets, (always handy for a gardener), and they keep you modest when bending over your veggies and flower beds.

These are comfortable and inexpensive so you don’t feel bad if you accidentally cut them while pruning roses or grind mud into them while fixing sprinkler systems (I know this first hand).

Cute summer dress if you need more glam in your garden.

Bottoms

Leggings and stretchy jeans are awesome with tunic tops. You can be fashionable whilst gardening! The great thing is that because you basically are doing garden yoga or what I like to call “cropfit”🤣 you need pants that allow you to move and bend and stretch.

Comfy, cute, stylish, and stretchy. What more could you need for garden-friendly fashion?

I love a little detail in my leggings.

Garden-Friendly Shoes & Boots

There are so many different types of garden shoes, but clogs are my favorites. I have a few pairs and they are great because I can wash them up so easily and slip them off whenever I get too hot. The one drawback is because they are open shoes they don’t help with those summer foot calluses.

Boots and socks are a great alternative to garden clogs. They are cute and you keep your feet dry and clean. The drawback with boots is that they make your feet hot in the already hot garden. So I opt for a pair of both so you can decide from day to day what you need.

I love these Lucky brand rain boots!

Hunter boots are a must! And I love my Bogs ankle boots.

There is such a thing as cute Crocs

Aprons

Garden aprons are so cute and they come in handy for carrying small tools or holding any type of harvest.

Four Peas in a Pod Design have the cutest harvest apron. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It’s super handy too with its expandable pocket and zipper pocket. Love!

Garden-Friendly Fashion Hats

If you are an intense gardener then you know you are going to spend hours in the sun and your poor face needs some protection. These are my favorite hats for gardening.

Gloves

Gloves are a gardeners best tool. Whether it’s dealing with weeds, thorns, or mud, gloves can protect you from all sorts.

I go through several pairs of gloves every season. So I’ve literally tried hundreds of different gloves.

Out of hundreds of brands these are the top three best gloves for their durability, flexibility, breathability and the Bellingham Tuscany gloves are cute too!

Get this apparel and you will be the best dressed gardener or farmer. Now there is no reason for you to be caught gardening in your jammies which is really the best option for garden apparel in my opinion.
