Your Tree Farm Style Questions Answered
What Do You Wear To A Christmas Tree Farm?
I went to a Christmas tree farm for the first time a few years ago, and I did so much digging around to see if you were supposed to go in athletic wear to do some heavy lifting or if this was a dressy affair. And the true answer is that there isn’t a right or wrong one.
If you would rather wear a sweatshirt and leggings, by all means go right ahead! Get warm and cozy.
If you want to dress pretty for photos, have at it!
It’s a great photo op for everyone to passes through, and it’s always a memory with whomever you’re picking a tree out with. Come camera ready to snap a photo with your loved ones.
Expert Tip: The only must, which isn’t hard to adhere to in December, is closed toed shoes.
Walking around on these grounds can have all kinds of hazards and such, so go ahead and opt for boots or sneakers while picking your outfits.
Matching Vs. Coordinating Outfits… Which Is Best?
If you’re dressing a whole crew, or even with just your significant other, you can either choose to match the outfits or coordinate them.
Matching outfits are always so cute for families and couples, but if you want to coordinate there are a couple of different ways you can do this.
One way is through colors. Being intentional to choose colors that are easily paired well together makes it so that your outfits are cohesive even if they don’t match exactly. Browns with tans, blues with greens, reds with oranges are great starting points along with your classic neutral pieces that will just really tie it together.
Styles are the second major way to you can accomplish the coordinating look.
- If one of you is in knitwear like sweater or cardigan, you both should.
- If one of you is in a trench coat, you both should, of different colors.
- Another example would be if you were to wear leather pants and make your man wear a leather jacket.
Using the same texture or fabric goes a long way to make this coordinated vas. matchy matchy look happen in style.
