Pumpkin Patch Outfits: How to Dress for the Most Photographed Fall Tradition.

 # Pumpkin Patch Outfits: How to Dress for the Most Photographed Fall Tradition.

There's really a certain type of pressure that comes with the territory at pumpkin patch season. It isn't a big deal, but it is definitely that one thing that most of us are going to photograph, golden hour lights, hay bales, and a field of pumpkins as a background.

Pumpkin patch outfits are so popular lately, and the formula for style seems to always be similar - cozy knits, rustic boots, and warm colors that photograph well in the picture as much as they look in person. Here's how to achieve this.

## What to Dress Like at Pumpkin Patch

Everywhere I look, there's a certain type of outfit that seems to always go together, almost identical, for pumpkin patch season.

Here are the staples of a great pumpkin patch outfit:

• Cozy sweater or cardigan (cream, rust, olive or camel tones stand out best against the yellow pumpkins and golden hour backdrop)

• Denim (for shorts - if it's warm enough to justify it, or jeans)

• Rustic shoes (ankle or knee boots with brown or tan leather are the best for stability and standing on uneven patch ground)

• One additional layer on top to have as a style piece (a flannel, denim jacket, or light coat)

Here are 5 of the best pumpkin patch outfit ideas to try this year, using the above formula as a base.

## Pumpkin Patch Outfit List

### 1. Oversized sweaters + denim shorts + boots

This pumpkin patch outfit is the most popular right now, as it's super photographed, and it's perfect for the early fall heat. It looks great in pictures with the pumpkin backdrop, too.

### 2. Flannel + jeans + ankle boots

A flannel layered over a simple t-shirt and worn over jeans with ankle boots is the perfect fall outdoor look for a slightly cooler pumpkin patch day.

### 3. Monochrome neutral look

A monochrome neutral look (one color) in a warm tone is an elevated alternative to the standard pumpkin patch clothing, allowing the pumpkins and backdrop to shine in the picture.

### 4. Cozy dress + cardigan + boots

For a feminine pumpkin patch outfit, try a dress made of corduroy or knit with a cardigan on top and boots underneath, that's still comfortable enough to walk around the patch in.

### 5. Coordinated outfits (group, couples, etc.)

Coordinated outfits (in similar tones, not always the same) seem especially popular for the pumpkin pickers this year for group and couple photos. It's a great way to style outfits without overdoing it - one person in rust, the other in cream, both with denim and boots, etc.

If you're trying to get a good photo, here are some pumpkin patch outfit ideas to consider.

## Pumpkin Patch Styling Tips

Warm colors photograph best against the orange pumpkins and golden hour lighting, so stick to rust, cream, olive, camel, and other analogous fall colors in your pumpkin patch outfits.

Wear something you can walk in - especially if you're going to be walking in potentially muddy conditions, boots tend to be a must for pumpkin patch adventures.

Bring a light layer (or two) that you can wear on top of your pumpkin patch outfit, because it can get a bit chilly on fall days, and you'll want options for pictures.

Styling is about mixing texture, too, so try to incorporate more knit, corduroy, or denim into your outfits (rather than cotton or other slippery, tight fabrics) for the best pumpkin patch look.

That's everything you need to know about what to wear to pumpkin patch! Here's a refresher for you:

1. Cozy knit or cardigan

2. Denim (shorts if it's warm, jeans otherwise)

3. Rustic boots

4. One light layer on top (flannel, jacket, or coat)

5. Coordinated monochrome (or similar) tones

The best pumpkin patch outfits are those that are warm, comfortable, and photograph well. Make sure to save this guide for your next pumpkin patch adventure!
