What to Wear When You Go Apple Picking | Aelida


Marina | October 29, 2014 | Fashion |

It’s apple-picking season once again and though not a lot of people make a big deal out of this, you know that as a fashionista, it’s yet another excuse to dress up and look cute (maybe buy one or two new fashion pieces too). So on to the question “what to wear when you go apple picking?” Well, you can wear whatever, really, but if you want to do a themed outfit, check out our tips and ideas below.

  • PLAID SHIRT – apple picking is one of the best things to look forward to in fall so wearing a fall staple such as a plaid shirt would be appropriate. If you want something simple and subdued, you can always go for a black and white plaid shirt. If you want something with more color, go for a red, black and white one (for a traditional look) or another one with more colors like green, yellow and brown.

  • SHEARLING VEST – it’s perhaps too early to go for a full on heavy jacket so a great alternative would be a vest and a shearling vest is something that would look perfect for a casual apple picking outfit. You can wear it on top of your plaid shirt (or a light sweater) for a simple but warm and cozy layered look.

  • CUFFED JEANS – your usual jeans are perfectly fine, really, but if you want to get deeper into the look, roll up the cuffs for that rough and rugged look. This is a great alternative to cropped jeans, too. Make sure you fold and cuff your jeans right by the slimmest part of your legs so that they don’t end up looking short and stubby but longer and more slender instead.

  • LEGGINGS – but then again, when you want something more comfy than jeans, leggings is the way to go! Of course, you have to make sure that your top is long enough to cover your behind so you don’t get shot odd looks from other pickers.

  • BOOTS – boots are the best footwear of choice when going apple picking. Aside from the fact that it will keep your feet warm and cozy while out in the cold fall weather, it will also protect them from dirt (and possible mud) that’s in the orchard.
