What to Wear In the Wilds
-
Countryside Elegance
Blending practicality with understated elegance, Countryside style draws inspiration from heritage style, equestrian tradition, country pursuits like hunting, and the quiet sophistication of rural life.
Think timeless tailoring, earthy tones, and fabrics that are as functional as they are refined—ideal for the beauty and unpredictability of autumn in Virginia.
Tweed, wool, and waxed cotton are staples—durable, warm, and weather-resistant.
Corduroy, moleskin, and heavy knits add depth and comfort.
Natural fibers, offering both breathability and polish.
Colors rooted in nature: olive green, moss, deep brown, tan, rust, navy, and cream.
Plaids, houndstooth, and checks in subdued palettes are iconic.
-
Ladies
Tailored wool or tweed jackets
Midi skirts or trousers in earthy tones (olive, rust, camel, deep green)
Smart knits or silk blouses
Sturdy-but-stylish boots or block-heeled shoes (think grass-friendly)
Hats, wraps, and layers encouraged—weather can be delightfully moody!
-
Gentlemen
Tweed or wool blazers, waistcoats welcome
Smart trousers, such as cords, wool, or chinos in seasonal hues
Button-down shirts with or without a tie— country casual or gussied up
Leather brogues or boots
Flat caps, scarves, and pocket squares for that extra countryside flair

Autumn on the Atlantic Coast
Autumn in Virginia is a season of rich contrasts and quiet beauty—crisp mornings, golden afternoons, and the occasional moody sky that rolls in from the coast. Temperatures typically range from the mid-50s to low 70s°F (12–22°C), making layers a smart choice.
You can expect:
Cool breezes scented with salt and pine
Soft sunlight filtering through turning leaves
Dewy mornings and occasional mist rising over fields
The chance of a light drizzle or overcast skies.













dress warmly & stylishly
Layering is both fashionable and wise.
Our day will have a little fresh air, bonfires, dancing, and a lot of celebrating.
We can’t wait to see you looking splendid in the field!
