The season of farmers’ markets is upon us, and it’s inspiring a new style aesthetic: the Farmers Market Girl. This style is relaxed but sweet, with hints of coquette but a comfy and casual vibe.
This easy breezy aesthetic is perfect for spring and summer, and we’re here to tell you how to achieve it effortlessly.
How To Be a Farmers Market Gal
The trend focuses on keeping things airy and timeless, so super trendy clothes are a no, and heavy fabrics aren’t quite right. It’s also fun to lean into the food theme, like with the Berry Aesthetic. From head to toe, here’s your guide to becoming a Farmers Market Girl.
Keep it Breezy
As mentioned, it’s best to stick to light fabrics that work for warm weather. Cotton, linen, and cashmere are a few of our top choices. Silhouettes should be loose and flowy, and this look definitely does not have to be sexy. Revealing clothing can work, but it’s by no means a requirement.
Maxi dresses, billowy skirts, and oversized sweaters are some of our favorite silhouettes for this look. So skip the leather, skip the wool, and skip the crepe, because we want you to have a feathery vibe so you can breeze through the market.
We adore these light and lovely looks:
- Kimchi Blue Phoebe Cotton Open-Back Halter Mini Dress
- 100% Organic Cotton Gauze Smocked Wide Leg Jumpsuit
- Ruth Floral Midi Skirt
Stay Timeless
We don’t want any super trendy contours or patterns. Embrace styles that aren’t pinned to any single time and place, but still feel fresh. Jeans are always a terrific choice, as are tees and sweaters. Don’t overthink this element.
Ultimately, every type of clothing can be traced back to a certain time period. But the point is you shouldn’t limit yourself to one era of fashion. Let the most dynamic and versatile pieces from all eras seep into your farmers market looks.
Here are a few options that will keep you timeless and cute:
- Bershka Straight Leg Jeans in Mid Wash
- Out From Under Cotton Compression Boatneck Cropped Tee
- Oversized Linen Sweater

We can’t get enough of the food-themed looks. Do you remember the Grocery Girl Aesthetic? This has bits and pieces of that, but florals are okay, too! Basically, if you can buy it at a farmers market, you can wear it as a print.
From fish to flowers to fresh fruit, it’s like you’re the market. You can make it as subtle or as obvious as you want, but we’re partial to the bold and quirky looks that don’t hold back. Wear tomatoes on your heart chakra or bananas on your pants!
These are excellent foodie and floral pieces:
- ASOS DESIGN slash neck button down dropped waist mini dress in spicy print
- Reclaimed Vintage oversized T-shirt with food print in white
- Carrot T-Shirt
- Kiss The Sky Mimosa Floral Shirred Midi Dress
- Zinnia Floral Lace Top
Get That Bag
Bags are one of our favorite parts of this aesthetic. Of course, you need a decent bag to carry all the goodies you buy at the market, because you’re a sustainable shopper. Instead of grabbing that reusable grocery bag, consider something très chic.
As far as size, we think totes are the obvious answer. But it’s okay if you want to bring something smaller. Just don’t wear anything too fancy or upscale. Leave the Chanel crossbow and Louis Vuitton at home for this trip. Instead, look for woven designs, natural materials, and more laidback styles.
These are the must-have totes and purses for your look:
Comfy Shoes Rule
True farmers market girlies need to wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be walking up and down the rows of stalls, and you want to be sure your arches are supported. Sneakers are the go-to, but they’re not the only option. However, we love the look of casual sneakers with a pretty skirt or dress, balancing elegance with kickin’ back.
Comfy sandals, slip-on styles, clogs, and even lightweight boots will suit the aesthetic and ensure your feet don’t get tired after all that shopping. Whatever shoe silhouette you choose, keep the general vibe lowkey. Leather combat boots, bedazzled sandals, and brightly colored sneakers don’t usually fit the look. Stick with understated designs and be sure those footbeds have a little cushioning!
If you’re not sure what shoes to wear, here are some recommendations:
- Birkenstock Women’s Boston Soft Footbed Suede Clog
- Chuck 70 Washed Denim
- Dr. Scholl’s Islander Wedge Sandal
Sunny Day Accessories
Let’s talk accessories. You don’t need a ton of sparkly rings or dangle earrings, because the farmers market scene is more cas than that. Add the right accessories, and the outfit instantly levels up. Even better? Most pieces work just as well for a beach day. And hats. Hats-Hats-Hats. Straw hats, bucket hats, cheeky baseball caps, and even floppy hats are adorable options.
And don’t forget Sunglasses, and aside from rhinestone, flamboyant styles, there are no wrong answers. Whether you want petite, 90s-style shades or oversized hippie-dippie ones, they all work. If you must adorn yourself with jewelry, keep it simple — pearl earrings, thin necklaces, and petite rings.
Check out these stylish options:
- Fiji Polarized Acetate Sunglasses
- The Coline Sunglasses
- Straw Bucket Hat
- North Star Diamond Pendant in Silver
- 14K Gold Freshwater Cultured Pearl Studs
