Easy to wear and cute enough to take you to lunch or the garden store, these shirts are top performers for gardeners.

Colorful Gardening

We love the juicy colors featured in the Orvis ExOfficio Hoody. You might call it a "smart hoody" for its ability to keep bugs away and its wicking-properties to keep you cool as you garden.

Gardening in hot weather but still need some hyper-functionality from your gardening togs? These Garden Girl Shorts have you covered with countless pockets for storing necessary tools and a generous fit to allow for freedom of movement.

Garden Girl Skort

For those with commitment issues, for whom shorts or a skirt just won't do, there's the skort.

The apron flap houses an array of deep pockets for storing tools and the shorts in back keep you from revealing all to passing neighbors.

Gardener's Supply Company Best Buds Garden Skort

I’m not going to lie: I love a skort. Feminine and cute, but not afraid to get down to business. This skort from Gardener's Supply Company is stylish, and I will admit, went with me outside the garden on weekend errands. A great casual skirt that also happens to be wonderful for gardening.

Garden Girl Capri Pant

Garden Girl Capris come in blue or tan and profess your gardening love with their cheerful flower patterns.

WomansWork Paisley Hat

Bordering on the mod, this WomansWork Paisley Hat is 100% cotton which means it's washable. This hat is stylish enough to wear to festivals or a casual garden party. But there's more! It's reversible, with an equally cute checked design to swap out when you tire of paisley.

Few garden tools are as indispensable as a great hat. This San Diego Bucket Hat is packable, one-size-fits-all, has a UPF of 50+ and looks pretty cute too.
