If you have your own farm or if you have gotten a job that will require you to work on a farm, then you might be thinking about buying a few wardrobe pieces that you can wear to work. If you're wondering what type of clothing you should buy for working on a farm, this quick guide can help you get started.

Choose Clothing That Disguises Dirt and Stains

It's only natural that you are probably going to get dirty while you're working on a farm, no matter how hard you might work to stay clean. Choosing darker-colored clothing and shirts with patterns—such as plaid—can help you disguise dirt and stains at least a little bit.

Make Sure Clothing Is Easy to Wash and Care for

You're going to want to make sure that you can toss your work clothing in the washing machine on a heavy-duty cycle to get it clean after a hard day of work on a farm, and you probably will not want to have to fuss with ironing your clothing before heading out to work in the morning. Therefore, look for easy-care pieces that can be tossed in the washing machine and dryer and that will hold up well through frequent washings.

Dress in Layers

It's always a good idea to dress in layers when you're going to be working on a farm. You might start working early in the morning and work until the sun sets in the evening. Throughout the day, you might experience temperature changes, such as cooler mornings and evenings but hot and sunny afternoons. Dressing in layers will help you be prepared and will help you stay comfortable all day long. For example, you may want to wear a flannel shirt over a T-shirt when you head out to work in the morning. When it warms up, you can take the flannel shirt off and keep it close by. Then, when it starts cooling down again toward the end of the workday, you can put it back on so that you can stay warm while you're wrapping up the day's work.

Focus on Keeping Your Feet Comfortable, Warm, and Dry

When you're on your feet all day long doing hard farm work, it's important to make sure that you keep your feet comfortable and protected. Wearing properly fitting work boots is usually recommended, and you'll want to make sure that they offer plenty of support. When you're going to be working in the rain or walking in the mud, make sure you wear mud boots. Also, on cold and wet days, wearing nice, thick socks will help you keep your feet warm and dry.
