If you are a gardener, you know that looking good while you’re digging in the dirt is often hard to do. Yes, you can make a wreath of flowers to wear in your garden as alternative jewelry, but that’s more for tea time. However, you can choose to be stylish and functional just by echoing the garden theme in your attire. Floral dresses work well at a party and in the garden, as long as you’re just cutting flowers. You need far more sturdy garden clothes if you intend to do vegetable garden, install a new bed, or go to a gardening class where you’re apt to get very dirty.

Sturdy Shoes
Crocs are popular in the garden and make a very modern fashion statement. Some people feel Crocs are very ugly and others think they have a post-modern charm. You can wear any pair of shoes that can keep your feet from getting wet as you go around the garden, but obviously high heels aren’t a good choice. If your garden labor is small, you can opt for some pretty sandals and keep your toe nails painted for maximum effect.

Floral Themes
The garden is a perfect place to wear your most bright shirts, shorts, and dresses. It won’t seem too busy because it can match the surroundings. Floral patterns are perfect or you can opt to just get a single bright color and match it with khakis.

Accessories
For garden fashion, there are tons of accessories ranging from straw hats to over-sized sunglasses. You can even use the watering cans as a way to make a visual statement as you work in the garden. If you’re going to wear jewelry in the garden, the best bet is to wear something natural and inexpensive. Costume jewelry or jewelry made from garden material is perfect for this occasion so you don’t risk losing a valuable jewelry piece.
