What to Wear to a Pumpkin Patch: 12 Cute & Cozy Outfit Ideas

Chunky sweaters are one of our go-to fall looks, so we couldn't resist suggesting them for our pumpkin patch outfit recommendations. To get a look that's equally cute and fun, we love pairing a thick, cozy sweater with a flirty, ruffly skirt and some sassy cowboy boots. The combination of the casual sweater and feminine skirt photographs well while the boots give a charmingly rustic touch. Make sure your skirt isn’t too short—otherwise, crouching for pumpkins can get awkward fast. (Image credit: @cristinalortiz)

There's something about a pumpkin patch that feels very cozy and traditional, and we like to play up that vibe with a vintage fit. For a chic, '70s-inspired look, try a shearling-lined leather vest with dark, flared jeans. The textured look of the vest adds some fun edge to the polished, tailored lines of the jeans. And to make sure your legs look extra-long in all your fall pics, accessorize with a pair of sleek, pointed-toe boots. (Image credit: @michelejaliene)

Do you live in the south or have your pumpkin patch outing planned for an unusually warm day? We've found that shirt dresses are the ideal way to look festive without getting too hot. Start this outfit with a cozy chambray or denim shirt dress and then pair it with some retro sneakers for a casually chic look. This versatile look is great because we can customize it to suit any type of style. Consider belting your dress if you want to show off your waist, or leave it loose for a more relaxed outfit. You can further personalize it with a crossbody bag, cute sunglasses, or a wide-brimmed hat. (Image credit: @iam.meganmichelle)

Overalls are our ultimate farmcore look, so they're perfect for a day at the pumpkin patch. To keep the look country-chic instead of looking like an actual farmer, we like to pair baggy overalls with a sleek crop top or bra top. To complete the look, we like adding some platform sneakers or sandals in a coordinating color. If you want to add even more fall charm to your pumpkin patch photoshoot, consider adding a plaid flannel in warm colors. You can tie it around your waist to define it, or you can layer it over your overalls when it gets cool. (Image credit: @cheridan.taylor)

There's just something about fall that brings out our whimsical, romantic side, so we love the dreamy look of a flowing, floral dress. To keep this outfit from seeming too summery, ground your floral prints with a suede vest and crossbody bag. We also recommend including block-heeled leather boots for this look. Not only will it give a stylish, bohemian feel, but it will also help you stay warm and comfortable no matter how far you walk. (Image credit: @josieldn)  

Worried about looking too fussy, but don't want to be basic either? This outfit for a pumpkin patch is the perfect blend of throw-on-and-go comfort with low-key style. Grab your favorite pair of light wash, loose jeans and an oversized, ribbed cardigan, and complete the look with suede clogs. This is one of our go-to pumpkin patch outfits because it's so perfectly cozy. The soft textures have an autumnal feel while the vintage silhouette has plenty of classic charm.

Autumn looks tend to fall into classic and bohemian styles a lot, but sometimes we're in the mood for something different. This is a great example of how you can look pumpkin-patch ready while still being cool and sporty. Start with a trendy corduroy or denim maxi skirt and add streetwear flair with a zip-up hoodie. To pull the look together, we suggest a graphic tee and platform sneakers in coordinating shades. This outfit is all about strong shapes and bold colors, so don’t be afraid to add in your fave fall hues. (Image credit: @allison.buch)

The collegiate aesthetic is one of our favorite fall options because it's so versatile and practical. A pleated skirt (or skort) and plaid blazer create a preppy look that works well with fall foliage while all the layers let you wear this in all types of weather. When it's cold, you can wear this look with a turtleneck and tights, and when it's warm, a light tank top and bare legs look equally polished. No matter the temperature, tall boots are essential for a flattering yet luxe outfit. Riding boots are always a reliable choice, but you can also try rain boots if a fall shower heads your way.

When you want maximum comfort without sacrificing style, this outfit formula is a total winner. A long duster cardigan layered over sleek black leggings gives you that cozy, throw-on-and-go vibe while still looking pulled together for photos. The dramatic length of the cardigan creates such a flattering silhouette, and we love how it moves in the breeze for those candid walking shots. To keep the proportions balanced, finish the look with ankle boots—rich suede is especially gorgeous for fall. This is where you can have fun with color and pattern since the leggings keep everything grounded. We're particularly obsessed with a head-to-toe neutral palette punctuated by a leopard print cardigan, but a chunky knit in burgundy or camel works beautifully too. Plus, this outfit is perfect for those days when you'll be doing a lot of walking and bending down to inspect pumpkins. (Image credit: @cmcoving)

A sherpa jacket over a long-sleeve tee is one of our go-to looks when the temperature really drops. The fluffy texture feels like wearing a cloud, and it pairs so well with your favorite distressed denim. If you want to add a little something extra, let a coordinated striped or graphic tee peek out from underneath—it's a small detail that makes a big difference in photos. Finish with chunky sneakers for all-day comfort or lug-sole boots if you're expecting mud. This outfit keeps you toasty warm no matter how long you spend searching for the perfect pumpkin.

Talk about a plot twist—this is your city girl goes country moment. A cropped trench coat brings unexpected polish to a pumpkin patch outfit, especially when you style it with wide-leg denim and short, chunky UGG boots. The trench gives you that sophisticated edge while the Uggs keep things relaxed and comfortable for walking around all day. We love this combination for those in-between fall days when a heavy jacket is too much but you still want a layer. The cropped length of the trench is key here—it won't overwhelm your frame and it shows off those boots. This look is proof that you don't have to go full farmcore to nail pumpkin patch style.

A patterned sweater makes getting dressed so much easier since it does all the visual work for you. You can go with warm fall colors or keep things neutral and tonal—both look great. Pair it with Chelsea boots since they handle uneven ground well while still looking put-together. We usually style this with shorts, a skirt, or cropped pants so the boots get their moment. One thing we've learned: pick one main color to build around—maybe rust, olive, or beige—and everything feels more cohesive. Otherwise, a busy sweater can start to feel a little chaotic, especially in photos with all those bright orange pumpkins in the background. (Image credit: @martis.raya)
