The Perfect Gardening Clothes!

As the weather (slowly) gets warmer and Spring approaches, one of the things that comes to mind is gardening.  Whether you are gardening fruit and veggies or prized roses, you need to wear the right clothing.  You don’t have to sacrifice fashion to be comfortable and functional in the garden!  It’s time to find the perfect gardening clothes.

Here are some stylish gardening clothes options to add to your gardening wardrobe!

AN AMAZING HAT

There are two schools of thought when it comes to what type of hat is best for gardening.  Some people like a baseball cap and others like a full brimmed hat, especially to protect your neck from the sun’s rays.  Below are a few of each that I like:

A WHITE COTTON T SHIRT

A white cotton t-shirt is part of my mom-iform (mom uniform).  Anything and everything goes with a white T – from leggings, to jeans, to a sequins mini skirt.  In the case of gardening, a 100% cotton white t-shirt is great for a few reasons:

  • It can be easily bleached if you get dirt on it.
  • It is white, which will not attract the sun’s hot rays while you are planting.
  • 100% cotton is breathable.

A SUPER CUTE APRON

Aprons are an amazing invention.  They keep your clothing clean while you garden, cook, etc.  You can store whatever you need in the handy pockets.  They come in so many different colors and patterns.  Here are some that caught my eye:

PANTS

You’d think that wearing shorts would be appropriate when gardening because more than likely it’s going to be warm out.  BUT that is not the case!  It’s best to wear long pants that cover your legs so that you protect them from scratches and cuts that may occur when pruning, etc.  Denim is very durable – here are a few pairs of jeans that I like!  (Most of them already have holes, so if you add a few others while gardening, it will just look natural.)

GLOVES

Protect your hands fashionably with these super cute gardening gloves!

SUNSCREEN

Sunscreen is a must if you are going to be outside, gardening or not.  There are so many different kinds out there, but here are some of my favorites!

SHOES

While researching the proper attire for gardening, I came across a few websites that recommended Hunter boots!  I love Hunter boots!  Here are a few of my picks, but there are so many different colors and prints to choose from!  I’ve also included some shoes that are distinctly made for gardening (although they aren’t as cute).

    Gardening is such a calming task and beautifies an area if done correctly so why not look cute doing it. I love those colourful gloves.

      I have heard that it is very therapeutic. I am seriously thinking of creating a raised garden because our soil here is terrible.

    My parents are an avid gardener though I still have to try my hands on gardening , but I think I might stay away from wearing whites as I love my whites and can’t see them getting stained again and again. I might opt for other light colored fabrics.

      Other light-colored fabrics would work well too, Ayushi!

    I love gardening. I always do that at least 3x a week and I always use white shirt while taking care of my plants. It has a comfortable feeling while wearing it.

    Thanks for the tips. I usually just use old clothes (that I no longer wear out) when I’m gardening. A large brimmed hat is something I should probably get for better sun protection.

      Great idea to wear old clothes while gardening, Tayo! I definitely recommend a large brimmed hat to protect your face and neck from the sun.

SATURDAYS ARE FOR STELLA ❤️

Oh, hello there 👋 in case you’re new to my feed, this is Stella. She is an almost 3 year old goldendoodle from Stella, NC. No, we didn’t name her Stella because of the city she was born in. That was a complete coincidence!

She goes by many names - Stella, Stelladoodle, Stu Diddy, Stu, and Moose. Don’t ask 😂 (and whether she responds to any of those names is completely up to her.)

She’s finally graduating the puppy stages (I hope), but it is known that if you’re over and
👟you leave your shoes unattended
👜bag open
🧦socks on the floor
🧻towels in reaching distance to her counter surfing
🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️you’ll be running circles around the house after her. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉
#tbt A super fun night supporting the @juniorleag #tbt  A super fun night supporting the @juniorleagueofbocaraton with my partner-in-crime @localmomscoop @fourmakers and @theaddison executive chef, Patrick Duffy. 

Today we celebrated the life of Heather McMechan, someone I am eternally grateful came into my life, and devastated has left this earth. The church was filled with people that loved her - not one person that crossed her path couldn’t NOT love her. 

Forever in my heart ❤️
