Farmers Market Fashion Takes A Fresh Spin On Casual Weekend Wear

Buying local fruits, veggies and honey at the farmers market is a favorite weekend pastime for many, but you might not have heard that farmers market fashion emerged over the summer as a new style trend.
At its heart, this cousin to coastal grandmother style is laid-back, comfy and chic – think cardigans, straw hats and woven totes – with a healthy dose of whimsy, like all-over prints, fun shapes and bright colors inspired by the fresh seasonal produce.

As the weather cools down and sweet summer strawberries and melons give way to fresh leafy greens like spinach and kale, it’s a good time not only to eat your veggies but wear them, too, with colors like celery green, eggplant purple and carrot orange – perfect for the pumpkin patches that will be everywhere come October!
Here are some brandable pieces perfect for a visit to the farmers market:
The Edgartown Canvas Tote features coordinating gingham accents and lining that suggest an old-school picnic blanket. A zip top, large inside zip pocket and three additional pockets will help secure all of your farmers market finds, and the 11-inch handles make it easy to carry by hand or over the shoulder. Available in three color combos (shown in natural/navy) with a 5x5 imprint area.
