DOWN ON THE FARM DUDS

Homegrown Looks for Crooked Crops & Clandestine Cows

 Welcome to the Sty-lish Side of Farming

Yeehaw and hush now—these here looks ain’t just for hoeing potatoes. Whether you're plowing fields, hiding bodies behind hay bales, or defending your title as Best Pickle Preserver in three counties, Down on the Farm Duds will have you lookin’ like a fresh-pressed biscuit in a world full of burnt toast.

So grab your overalls and hide your secrets in your feed bucket—it’s time to sow chaos and reap drama.

LAZY & LOVABLE COSTUME LOOKS

What’s Already in Your Closet

You probably already own the core staples of farm fashion. Look for:

  • Plaid or flannel shirt (bonus if it’s wrinkled or rolled up)

  • Jeans or overalls (add patches for flair or “authenticity”)

  • Boots (work boots, cowboy boots, or anything muddy-looking)

  • Tank top or knotted tee (for that "I do chores but I flirt about it" vibe)

Optional upgrades:

  • Denim vest, utility belt, apron, or wide-brimmed hat

 

 Makeup, Hair & Accessories

Makeup:

  • A smudge of “dirt” (brown eyeliner or contour works)

  • Rosy cheeks from that “fresh air” (or fresh gossip)

  • Optional: draw on a sun-kissed farmer’s tan line

Hair:

  • Braids, pigtails, low ponytail, or wild and windblown

  • Add a kerchief, straw hat, or even a decorative flower for rural glam

Accessories & Props:

  • A bandana (either neck-tied or sticking out of a pocket)

  • Toy farm animal (mini pig, chicken, cow—if it squeaks, even better)

  • Fake carrot, egg basket, or mason jar labeled “moonshine”

  • A notebook labeled “Tractor Payments & Suspicions”

 

Behavior: How to Talk, Walk, and Stir the Pot

Talk like:

  • You’ve never been to a city but you know everyone else's business

  • You’re proud, petty, and oddly poetic about livestock

  • Slow, exaggerated, and folksy—or ridiculously enthusiastic about your crops

Drop phrases like:

  • “Well butter my biscuit...”

  • “Ain’t my first hoe-down... but it might be my last.”

  • “That fella’s about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.”

  • “She’s slicker than a greased pig at a church picnic.”

  • “The rooster might crow, but it’s the hen that lays the truth.”

Act like:

  • You’re always two seconds from starting a feud or a square dance

  • You’ve got one eye on the pie and the other on whoever’s sneaking into the barn

  • You might casually pull out a pickling recipe mid-interrogation

  • You have opinions. On everything. Especially corn.

GAME DEVELOPER NOTES:

Most everyone will have something in the closet that will work for a farmer character. The traditional look would be a plaid button-up shirt and overalls. You could get away with a pair of jeans, flannel, and a straw hat, as well. 

If you want to be more playful - you can dress up like one of the animals you care for daily!

Or, you can do a combo of both - wear the traditional plaid flannel shirt with overalls and a cow ear and tail set. 

You live once.  It's time to make your friends laugh! 

Have fun at your party!
