I’m as guilty as the next person of wearing any old thing while gardening, but the truth is, jeans and sneakers aren’t always ideal for this kind of work. I've spent a lot of time collecting the best gardening tools for planting and battling weeds, but haven’t given as much thought to my gardening clothes, other than some basic Crocs and gardening gloves...until recently, that is.

Clearing out problem areas of my yard made me realize how essential things like heavy gloves, overalls, the right shoes, and even a utility belt for holding my small tools can be. Fortunately, Amazon has a solid collection of gardening clothes and accessories, and the best part is that all of my picks here are under $50. Grab some new gear today so you can spend the summer gardening in comfort and style.
I love wearing cargo shorts for easier gardening tasks like repotting plants or a quick pruning. The pockets keep my small tools, gloves, and seed packets handy as I get my garden in order.
Lightweight overalls are helpful when gardening, because they protect your legs from bugs, scratches, and the sun. Deep pockets, adjustable straps, and a loose fit make these a smart pick.
When you need a quick cover-up while repotting plants or harvesting your garden, a wrap-around apron does the job. This one is a soft, breathable cotton linen, and the two large pockets will come in handy.
Crocs were invented as a boating clog, but it didn’t take long for gardeners to see their potential. I love mine because they’re comfortable, the thick foam sole protects my feet, and when they get filthy I can hose them off. Whether or not you think they’re stylish, they’re excellent for doing yard work.
Moisture-wicking tees can help keep you cool and dry, whether you’re at the gym, running errands, or gardening in the hot summer sun. This pack of five comes in 17 different color sets.
For autumn gardening or any time you want a bit more coverage, a pair of thin cargo joggers make a great pick. They’re breathable so you won’t overheat, and they protect your legs from scratches and dirt.
I have long hair and even with a ponytail, I still reach for these extra-stretchy headbands to keep everything out of my face. This one comes in more than 30 designs, and can be worn in different ways. (I often wear mine as a hair wrap.)
Gloves with built-in claws are the gardening gear you didn’t know you needed. When it's time to quickly dig a hole to plant seeds, scrape away dead brush in your garden beds, or gently divide a plant for repotting, you’ll be glad you have these.
Whether you’re pruning your rose bushes, repotting a cactus, or pulling some questionable weeds from your yard, elbow-length gloves are a must have for protecting your hands and arms. The palms, fingers, and arms are puncture-resistant, but the gloves are still soft and flexible so you can work easily.
Veggie gardeners, this one’s for you! A waterproof harvesting apron is a smart way to hold your small tools plus the garden goodies you’re picking. When you need to empty the apron, just release the two side buckles on the front.
When you’re ankle-deep in brush, mud, or mulch you’ll be thankful that you’re wearing a pair of tall gardening boots. These have a soft neoprene top with pull-on handles, and the sole has extra traction for uneven terrain.
When when I’m wearing shorts, I often reach for a pair of tall white socks if I know I’m going to be down in the weeds. They’ll help protect your legs, and make it easier to spot ticks!
How many of you end up removing your sunglasses when gardening because they keep slipping off as you get sweaty? It’s my gardening pet-peeve (one of many) so these caught my eye. Amazon customers say that these frames are truly non-slip, which sounds like a gardening must-have to me!
Keep the sun off your head and neck with a protective hat. This one is lightweight and breathable, stays in place, and you can throw it in the washing machine. Best of all, there’s a hole for your ponytail, too.
I have several pairs of latex-coated mesh gloves like these around because they’re great for light work. Whether you’re repotting plants, cutting flowers (ones without thorns), or pulling a few weeds, they protect your fingers. Best of all, you can throw these in the washing machine and let them air dry.
If you need arch support and prefer a full shoe when gardening, these best-selling Amazon slip-ons can’t be beat. They’re waterproof on the outside, and come in dozens of fun prints.
This isn’t just any old lightweight gardening shirt. At your shoulder blades, there’s a mesh panel that lets air in to keep you cool and dry. Plus it’s loose-fitting and buttons on the sleeves hold them up when rolled. In the front, you there's two cargo pockets and even a loop to hook small tools or sunglasses.
I don’t know about you, but I misplace my garden tools constantly, sometimes while I’m still gardening! A utility belt is a good way to keep everything in one place so you can have your pruners, scissors, or garden ties within arm's reach when you need them.
Gardening in a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt has many benefits. Other than the extra protection from the sun and mosquito bites, you also won’t have to worry about any accidental brushes with things like poison ivy.
Is there anything worse than getting swarmed by bugs when you’re hot and sweaty? A gardening hat with a net helps keep gnats, bees, and mosquitoes away so you can garden in peace.
