15 Cute and Cozy Apple Picking Outfit Ideas

It's almost fall, which means all things pumpkin are about to hog the spotlight. But there's one element of fall that should not be overlooked or passed up in the name of pumpkin: apples. And, more importantly, apple picking.

It's true that, in some parts of the world, apple season isn't the coziest, as it starts before autumn even begins, so weather forecasts can be hit or miss. However, even if the temperatures aren't dipping into the 60s just yet, that doesn't make the activity any less fun — nor is it any less of an opportunity to display your best fall outfits.

So if you're sweating (literally or figuratively) over what your apple-picking outfit should entail, don't.—we've got you covered with 15 cute ideas.

A Sweater Dress

Even if it’s too warm for oversized knits in your area on the day of your apple-picking festivities, a lightweight sweater dress for a trip to the farm is still acceptable. How you accessorize will ultimately depend on that day's forecast, but booties or sneakers are always a go. If it's a little chilly, play up the look with funky patterned tights.

A Matching Set

Take your favorite co-ord from the couch to the farm. If the matching set is monochromatic, add some fun accessories like a statement necklace or layered chains, but play down the jewelry if you're working with a busier pattern. Minimalist jewelry or your favorite pair of sunnies will be plenty.

A Shacket

If you’ve yet to hop on the shacket trend, let this be your year. They're the perfect addition for in-between temperatures — when you're not freezing without outerwear, but it's also not warm enough to go completely without. Pair the staple piece with jeans and a tee, and you're good to go.

Leggings and a Sweater

Jeans and a sweater will always be the quintessential fall ensemble, but because weather forecasts are so unpredictable for apple-picking season, lightweight bottoms are fair game, and leggings are an excellent — and comfortable — choice.

Add some fall flair with a pair of combat boots and an open flannel, or simplify the look even further with a simple white T-shirt and your trusty denim jacket.

A Sweater Vest

You might want to shop your grandpa’s closet because those sweater vests he’s been hoarding make for great tops. Toss one on over a bandeau with jeans and sneakers, or layer it over button-downs, T-shirts, and turtlenecks — virtually any shirt you see fit. Even if you end up sporting the staple as a tank, the fact that it's a knit will help channel those idyllic cozy vibes.

A Cozy Cardigan

Cropped, duster-length, oversized, and micro — all cardigans are acceptable apple-picking attire. Wear the beloved staple with a pair of jeans to embrace the basic uniform, or opt for a crop top and trousers underneath for a slightly more elevated look.

A Fall-Ready Sundress

Don't pack these babies away just yet. Sundresses are the perfect transitional item into autumn weather, plus they look amazing in pictures. If it's chilly, tie a light jacket around your waist as an insurance policy, and because you'll be tracking through the uneven, dirty ground, reach for a pair of sneakers on your way out the door.

A Bodysuit and Jeans

Bodysuits are multi-faceted. They dress up a pair of jeans or dress down a pair of trousers, and also act as a foundational piece for layering. For an apple-picking outfit, we recommend styling a bodysuit with ripped mom jeans, an open button-down or shacket, and a beanie.

A Graphic Tee

Graphic tees are more versatile than you might think. Brush the dust off of a vintage tee and pair it with ripped jeans and Converse, or take things up a notch with durable pants and chunky boots.

A Shirt Dress

When it’s still too warm for sweater dresses, a denim or poplin shirtdress will more than suffice. You can play with footwear (though we’d recommend something that can stand the terrain, like cowboy boots or sneakers) and add a plaid or colorful scarf for a little flair.

A Cozy Sweatshirt

Sweats are perfectly acceptable when styled correctly, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. For an apple-picking outfit, there are a few ways to go about piecing together a look that's cozy, but not frumpy. You can pair your sweatshirt with jeans, sneakers, a baseball cap, and a camel-colored trench coat (weather permitting). Or, you could layer your favorite crewneck over a button-up and channel your inner '80s prepster.

A Denim Skirt

Jeans are an obvious choice for bottoms when putting together an apple-picking outfit, but let’s say you were to switch up your bottoms. A denim skirt is an excellent alternative. It’s a comfortable garment, not to mention durable in all kinds of weather conditions. Styling-wise, a denim skirt can be worn with anything from a skin-tight turtleneck to a chunky half-tucked sweater to a graphic tee.

Comfy Jeans

'70s-inspired flare denim is trending for fall, so swap your skinnies for a buoyant pair. You can keep with the throwback era theme and pair the bottoms with a tucked-in flannel or layer on a shearling jacket. You can also opt for a modern twist, pairing the jeans with a cropped long-sleeve top.

A Pop of Color

Although Quiet Luxury has brought earth tones to the forefront of fashion, bold hues like Barbie Pink and Digital Lavender are still prominent pops of color. If you want to differentiate from all the brown, beige, and creams, add some vibrancy to your apple-picking outfit by way of your accessories, footwear, and outerwear. Or, fully embrace the color of your choice with a monochromatic moment.

Gingham or Plaid

Autumn has a color palette, but it also has its designated prints, gingham and plaid. You can’t go wrong donning either one to the apple farm, especially if the print is on a cozy flannel top.
