5 Fun and Easy Farmers Market Outfits to wear in 2023

Farmers markets are a wonderful place to get fresh produce, handmade goods, and unique artisanal products. But beyond the bounty of the market itself, it’s also a great place to show off your style and creativity with your outfit. Whether you’re a seasoned farmer’s marketgoer or a newbie looking for some inspiration, in this blog post I’m sharing 5 outfit inspirations to give you plenty of ideas for what to wear on your next trip to the market.

First things first, comfort is key. Farmers markets usually involve lots of walking, browsing, and potentially carrying heavy bags, so you want to make sure your outfit is practical and won’t leave you feeling constricted or uncomfortable. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. In fact, dressing for a day at the farmers market is a great opportunity to embrace a more laid-back style.

When it comes to accessories, a large tote bag or backpack is a must-have for carrying all of your goodies. You could also opt for a smaller cross-body bag for a more streamlined look. Sun hats, sunglasses, and lightweight scarves are also great additions to your farmers market outfit. And don’t forget to wear sunscreen!

5 Farmers Market Outfit Ideas

Breezy Dress Farmers Market Outfit:

Shop the look: dress, jean jacket (alternative option), backpack, Sandals

One classic farmers market outfit is a flowy, breezy dress or skirt paired with comfortable sandals or flats. This look is perfect for warmer weather and can be dressed up or down depending on your accessories. You could also go for a more casual look with a pair of denim shorts or jeans and a loose-fitting t-shirt or tank top. Layering is also a great option, especially if you’re shopping in the morning or evening when the temperature can be cooler.

Linen Shorts Outfit Inspiration:

Shop the look: Linen Shorts, sunglasses, backpack, sandals

If you love a more elevated style, opt for linen paper bag pants, with a classic slim fitting top and leather sandals. I like to add a bucket hat for sun protection and make the outfit more casual. A cute straw hat would work well too. This leather backpack is a go-to. Simply add a fun bag for all your groceries, I often use foldable ones that I store in my backpack until I need them.

Jean Short Farmers Market Outfit:

Shop the look: T-shirt, Jean Shorts, Veja Sneakers, Baseball Cap, Sunglasses

The most casual look of them all. I think a great pair of jean shorts that really fits us well paired with a simple T-shirt and chunkier sneakers is simple yet classic. A simple outfit like this really lets you shine and be comfortable during your visit to the Farmers Market. Add a fun hat, I picked a baseball cap but it could be any kind of hat to add interest. I usually bring a big tote bag for all my things.

Outfit ideas for cooler days:

Shop the Look: Jeans, T-shirt, Sweatshirt, Sneakers, Hat, Sunglasses

For cooler days I love a simple jeans and T-shirt look. Add an oversized cotton sweater or sweatshirt for additional warmth while still being comfortable and achieve a laid-back look. For this look, I picked items that most of us already have in our closet and are used to wearing all the time. Hopefully this makes dressing on an early Saturday or Sunday morning a breeze.

Here some way’s I have altered this look:

Shop the Look: Cotton Pants, Sandals, Backpack, Baseball Cap, Sunglasses

Last but certainly not least, a cotton or linen pants look for those breezier days. Style relaxed linen pants with a cute semi fitted tank top to keep the proportions in balance and avoid looking frumpy. If you are tall, an oversized top will work for you too as you won’t look overpowered. Pair with cute and comfortable sandals and accessorize with a classic yet effortless chic backpack or small cross body, cute sunglasses and a hat for sun protection. Add a jean jacket or utility fun colored utility jacket for warmth. Would also be cute with a sweater or cardigan.
