How to Dress for a Hayride
Going on a hayride creates visions of a romantic ride through the woods with someone special, a scary
Halloween
adventure with the kids at night, or possibly a western sing-a-long to a bonfire and s'mores with hot cocoa. Any one of these fun outdoor experiences has the potential for disaster if not dressed appropriately for both the hayride and the
weather
.
Step
1
Consider the time of day and year that the hayride will occur. Dress for cool weather for an evening hayride and for a fall excursion.
Step
2
Go on a haunted Halloween hayride and wear a favorite costume.
Step
3
Wear pants or overalls to cover your legs if allergic to grass or straw. Stay away from open-toe shoes or sandals for the same reason.
Step
4
Dress like a country guy in a flannel shirt and overalls with a straw hat and cowboy boots. Choose a red and white checkered blouse, jeans and cowgirl hat for a country gal look.
Step
5
Take a sweater, jacket or warm blanket to cuddle with someone special. Choose a blanket of rugged material that is washable.
Step
6
Tie back long hair into a ponytail or two braids for an authentic country look and to keep the hay out of the hair.
Step
7
Consider taking mittens, a warm hat and wool socks for late fall and early winter hayrides.
Step
8
Dress in clothes that provide freedom of movement when climbing into and out of the hay wagon. A long jeans skirt and boots are a stylish and comfortable combination.
Step
9
Choose long underwear made of silk or polyester blends under the clothes when there are signs of snow.
Step
10
Dress to keep warm and dry, particularly during a long hayride in snow or rain.
Step
11
Take a blanket to sit on during summer hot summer hayrides and dress comfortably in shorts and a top or a cute dress without worrying about itchy hay. Go barefoot during the hayride and enjoy the scenery.
Tips & Warnings
Hay and straw are not the same. Hay is made of dried grasses and straw is dried stems of grain plants like rye and wheat.
Expect to see
horses
, oxen or a tractor pulling a wagon full of hay or straw for a hayride and maybe a sleigh in winter.
Be on the lookout for animal droppings after the hayride in order to avoid a smelly boot.
