Denver garden clothes vary with the individual. I prefer comfortable garden clothes, shoes and hats. Garden clothes should be loose fitting and made of breathable material. Garden hats should protect the face from the elements. Garden shoes should grip well and give feet support. Practical garden clothes to wear in the Denver garden might include the following:
The hot Denver summer sun makes garden hats a necessity. Garden hats should have a brim to protect face and eyes from the Denver sun. I like to wear a visor in the garden. Visors keep the head cool while sheltering your face from the elements.
Old blue jeans make great garden clothes. The sturdy fabric protects legs from ticks and stray branches. Garden clothes should be durable. Getting down and dirty in the garden is no problem while wearing old blue jeans as garden clothes.
Short sleeved cotton shirts and tees are a good choice for garden clothes. They are light and breathable. I like to keep cool while laboring in the hot summer sun of my Denver garden. White cotton wicks moisture away from the body and deflects the Denver sun.
Many Denver residents wear Crocs as garden shoes. I prefer an old pair of athletic shoes as garden clothes. Crocs are too open to protect feet. The mud of the garden gets into the Crocs and makes a mess on rainy days. Athletic shoes are comfortable and protective garden clothes.
Garden gloves are a must in garden clothes. The thin cotton type protect hands from soil, branches and weeds. Lube up hands prior to gardening to keep skin soft. Rub a bar of soap across the nails as a dirt barrier for quick clean up after gardening.
